Hillman Fasteners 122542 Bright Wire Nail 18 Gauge

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122542 is a bright wire nail measuring 0.5 inches in length at 18 gauge, packaged in a 1.75-ounce unit. Bright wire nails are uncoated steel fasteners used for light-duty interior fastening applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. These small-diameter nails are driven by hand or with a tack hammer and are commonly used by carpenters, finish tradespeople, and general contractors for trim work, light wood joining, and similar tasks requiring a slender, minimally visible fastener.

The 122542 is suited for interior residential and light commercial applications including attaching thin trim pieces, securing lightweight moldings, and other fine woodworking tasks. The 18-gauge diameter minimizes wood splitting when driving into narrow stock or close to material edges. The bright finish indicates no surface treatment, making these nails appropriate for dry interior environments where exposed fasteners are not subject to moisture.

Key Features

• 0.5-inch length with 18-gauge wire diameter for light-duty fastening
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for dry interior use
• Small nail head reduces visibility in finish applications
• 1.75-ounce package quantity provides a convenient working supply
• Slender gauge minimizes splitting risk in thin or narrow stock

Compatibility

Designed as a standard bright wire nail for general interior light-duty fastening applications where a 0.5-inch, 18-gauge nail is specified.

Installation Notes

Bright wire nails of this size are typically driven by hand using a tack hammer or small finish hammer. Power down any adjacent electrical circuits before working in wall cavities or near electrical runs. These nails are intended for interior dry locations only and should not be used in exterior or high-moisture environments where corrosion resistance is required. Follow applicable building codes for fastener selection and spacing on structural or load-bearing assemblies.
