Hillman Fasteners 42506 Trim Screw No. 8 X 1-5/8 in 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42506 is a stainless steel, star-drive trim screw designed for outdoor fastening applications where corrosion resistance and a clean finished appearance are required. Each screw measures No. 8 diameter by 1-5/8 inches in length and features a star head drive pattern that resists cam-out under torque. This pack contains 50 screws, giving installers a ready supply for trim, siding, fascia, and similar exterior finish work. The stainless steel construction makes these fasteners suitable for pressure-treated lumber, composite materials, and other corrosive environments. Carpenters, general contractors, and finish trades typically reach for this screw when fastening exterior trim components where rust staining or fastener failure would be unacceptable.

These trim screws are suited for residential and light commercial exterior applications including wood and composite trim boards, fascia, soffit framing, and decorative exterior millwork. The star drive head allows for controlled installation with a standard star-tip driver bit, reducing the risk of slipping and surface damage on finished trim pieces. The 1-5/8-inch length is a common choice for attaching trim stock to sheathing or light framing members without over-penetration.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, finish trades, or experienced DIYers using a star-tip driver bit matched to the screw head size. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in hardwoods and dense composite materials to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes for exterior fastener requirements, particularly when fastening into structural or load-bearing trim assemblies. Ensure fastener length is appropriate for the material stack to avoid over-penetration into adjacent surfaces.
