Hillman Fasteners 42585 Exterior Deck Screws 75 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42585 is a 75-count box of Deck Plus green ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor structural and decking applications. Each screw measures 1-5/8 inches in length at a Number 8 diameter and features a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most standard wood framing and decking situations. The green ceramic coating is engineered to resist corrosion, rated to withstand 1500 hours of salt spray testing. These screws use a star drive pattern for improved bit engagement and reduced cam-out during installation. They carry a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

These exterior screws are suited for deck construction, fence assembly, and general outdoor wood fastening in both residential and light commercial settings. The coarse, serrated thread profile pulls material tight and resists loosening over time, making them appropriate for treated lumber and composite decking applications where outdoor exposure is a factor. Licensed carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation should follow applicable local building codes and IRC deck construction guidelines. Use a star-tip driver bit matched to the drive size to avoid stripping. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, verify the ceramic coating is rated for contact with the specific treatment chemistry used. No pre-drilling is required for most standard softwood decking, but pilot holes are recommended near board ends to prevent splitting.
