Hillman Fasteners 42587 Deck Plus Exterior Screws 40 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42587 is a 40-pack of Deck Plus Green Ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor structural fastening applications. Each screw measures 2.5 inches in length, size 10, and features a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most softwood decking materials. The green ceramic coating is engineered to resist corrosion, with a rated 1500-hour salt spray resistance backed by a lifetime warranty. The star drive recess and coarse serrated thread pattern are designed to reduce cam-out and improve pull-through resistance. These screws are the hardware of choice for professional deck builders, carpenters, and general contractors working on exterior wood assemblies.

These screws are intended for exterior wood fastening applications including deck framing, decking boards, fencing, and other outdoor structural assemblies where moisture and corrosion resistance are critical. The self-drilling cut point makes them well-suited for pressure-treated lumber and composite decking substructures. The coarse serrated thread promotes fast drive speeds and strong holding power in dimensional softwood and engineered wood substrates. Each box contains 40 screws, packaged in quantities of 5 boxes per unit of measure, making them practical for stocking on larger projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, deck builders, or general contractors using a power drill or impact driver fitted with a star drive bit. Always wear appropriate PPE when driving fasteners at high torque. Follow local building codes, including applicable IRC deck construction guidelines, for fastener spacing and structural requirements. Avoid overdriving screws, which can compromise the coating integrity and reduce holding strength at the surface.
