Hillman Fasteners 40081 No. 8 X 2.5 in Zinc Wood Screw 100pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40081 is a zinc-plated flat head Phillips wood screw used to fasten wood components in residential and light commercial construction, cabinetry, and general rough carpentry. Sized at No. 8 x 2.5 inches, this screw drives flush with or below the surface thanks to its flat head profile. The zinc plating provides basic corrosion resistance for interior applications. Each pack contains 100 screws, making it a practical quantity for production work or stocking a service van. Licensed tradespeople including carpenters, electricians routing through wood framing, and plumbers securing blocking or strapping commonly reach for this size.

The 40081 is suited for wood-to-wood fastening in standard framing lumber, plywood, MDF, and dimensional lumber assemblies. The No. 8 diameter and 2.5-inch length provide solid holding power when joining materials up to approximately 1.5 inches thick while leaving enough thread engagement in the substrate. The Phillips drive is compatible with any standard No. 2 Phillips bit, which is common on job sites and in service trucks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, and trade professionals during framing, finish, or rough-in work. Pre-drilling a pilot hole in hardwoods is recommended to prevent splitting and reduce drive torque. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit to avoid cam-out and head damage. These screws are intended for interior or protected applications; consult applicable building codes for structural fastener requirements.
