Hillman Fasteners 40890 No.6x2 in Bugle Head Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40890 is a multi-use flathead bugle screw designed for general fastening applications across a wide range of substrates. Sized at No. 6 x 2 inches with a coarse thread profile, this screw is manufactured from hardened steel and finished in a gold-yellow dichromate coating that provides corrosion resistance in moderately demanding environments. The flat bugle head style reduces surface tearing on softer materials, and the No. 2 Phillips recess is compatible with standard drive bits used by most trades. Each pack contains 50 screws, making it practical for both small repairs and volume tasks.

This screw is well suited for wood-to-wood fastening, light framing, decking substrate work, and general construction tasks encountered by HVAC installers, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors. The coarse thread provides strong pull-through resistance in wood and engineered wood products. The gold-yellow dichromate finish is commonly specified where mild moisture exposure is expected. At 2 inches in length, this fastener is appropriate for attaching panels, furring strips, equipment mounting brackets, and similar structural connections in both residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose multi-use screw compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips drive bits. Suitable for use with wood, engineered wood, and similar construction materials where a coarse-thread flat bugle head fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

These screws are installed by any trade requiring general fastening, including HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors mounting equipment or securing panels. Use a No. 2 Phillips bit with a power driver or hand screwdriver; overdrive can strip the recess or cause the bugle head to sink excessively into soft materials. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwood or near material edges to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and pull-out requirements when used in structural applications.
