Hillman Fasteners 40892 Bugle Head Screw 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40892 is a multi-use flat bugle head screw designed for general construction and trade fastening applications. Each screw is manufactured from hardened steel and features a gold-yellow dichromate finish that provides corrosion resistance in a range of indoor and sheltered outdoor environments. Sized at 8 x 2-1/2 inches with a coarse thread pitch, this screw drives efficiently through wood, sheathing, and similar substrates. A No. 2 Phillips recess allows for fast, positive bit engagement with standard power drivers. Sold in a 50-count pack, the 40892 is suited for contractors, framers, and tradespeople who need a reliable general-purpose fastener on the job site.

This screw is appropriate for wood-to-wood and panel-to-framing applications commonly found in residential and light commercial construction. The flat bugle head profile seats flush without a pre-countersunk hole, making it well suited for drywall, subfloor, deck framing, and general carpentry work. The coarse thread provides strong pull-through resistance in softwood and engineered lumber. The gold-yellow dichromate finish distinguishes these screws from standard zinc-plated fasteners and offers a moderate level of corrosion protection suitable for interior and protected exterior installations.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for high drive strength and resistance to cam-out stress
• Gold-yellow dichromate finish provides moderate corrosion resistance
• Flat bugle head seats flush without pre-drilling a countersink
• Coarse thread pitch for strong holding power in wood and engineered lumber
• No. 2 Phillips recess compatible with standard power driver bits
• 50-count pack for consistent job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose multi-use screw suitable for wood framing, sheathing, subfloor, and light construction fastening applications where a No. 8 x 2-1/2 inch coarse-thread fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors using a No. 2 Phillips bit in a variable-speed power driver or drill. Set driver clutch depth to avoid overdriving and compromising the bugle head seat. Pre-drilling is not required in most softwood applications but is recommended in hardwood or near board edges to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and shear requirements when used in structural assemblies.
