Hillman Fasteners 40932 Galvanized Deck Screw No. 8 2.5in 50pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 40932 is a galvanized deck screw designed for outdoor wood fastening applications. Sized at No. 8 x 2.5 inches, it features a coarse thread profile for strong bite in lumber and composite decking material. The flat bugle head countersinks flush without a pilot hole in most softwood and pressure-treated lumber. Drive is No. 2 Phillips recess. The screw body is hardened steel with a galvanized coating to resist corrosion in exterior and wet-environment installations. Sold in a 50-count pack. Installed by carpenters, deck contractors, and general construction trades.

This screw is suited for residential and light commercial deck construction, fence boards, and general exterior wood framing. The coarse thread pattern is optimized for softwood species and pressure-treated lumber commonly used in decking. The bugle head profile distributes load and reduces surface splitting on deck boards. Each pack contains 50 screws, making it practical for smaller repair jobs or as a supplement to larger quantity orders.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and deck contractors using a No. 2 Phillips bit and a cordless or corded drill or impact driver. Pre-drilling is recommended near board ends to prevent splitting. Follow local building codes and deck construction standards for fastener spacing and penetration depth requirements. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when driving fasteners overhead or at ground level.
