Hillman Fasteners 42586 Deck Plus Exterior Screws 2in No.8 50pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42586 is a 50-pack of Deck Plus Green Ceramic exterior screws engineered for outdoor structural applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Each screw measures 2 inches in length and is sized No. 8, featuring a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most deck and exterior wood assemblies. The green ceramic coating is rated for 1500 hours of salt spray resistance, making these fasteners suitable for pressure-treated lumber and harsh outdoor environments. A coarse, serrated thread pattern drives fast and holds securely in dimensional lumber and composite substrates. Licensed contractors and experienced deck builders are the primary installers.

These screws are designed for exterior wood-to-wood and wood-to-framing connections, including deck boards, fencing, railings, and general outdoor carpentry. The star drive recess reduces cam-out during installation, which is a common issue with Phillips-head fasteners in high-torque production work. The 50-piece pack suits spot repairs and small deck projects. Sold in packs of 5 boxes (250 screws total per case quantity noted in supplier data).

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors working under applicable local building codes. Ensure the correct star-drive bit size is used to avoid fastener head damage. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, verify the ceramic coating is rated for the specific preservative chemistry in use before installation. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving self-drilling fasteners at high speed.
