Hillman Fasteners 42590 Deck Screw 1.25in X 8 Tan Ceramic 75pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42590 is a tan ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor wood fastening applications. Measuring 1.25 inches in length and sized at 8, these screws feature a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pilot holes in most softwood decking. The coarse, serrated thread pattern pulls material tight and resists backing out under load. The tan ceramic coating is rated to 1500 hours of salt spray resistance, making it well suited for coastal and high-moisture environments. Each box contains 75 screws and carries a lifetime warranty against corrosion failure.

These screws are intended for residential and light commercial exterior deck construction and repair. The star drive recess reduces cam-out during installation and is compatible with standard star drive bits. The tan finish blends with pressure-treated and cedar decking commonly used in outdoor structures. Carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors will find these fasteners appropriate for decking, fencing, and exterior trim work where corrosion resistance is a primary concern.

Key Features

• Tan ceramic coating rated to 1500 hours salt spray resistance for corrosion protection
• Self-drilling cut point reduces need for pre-drilling in softwood decking
• Coarse serrated thread pattern for secure pull-down and resistance to backing out
• Star drive recess minimizes cam-out during high-torque installation
• Lifetime warranty against corrosion failure
• 75 screws per box for small to mid-size decking projects

Compatibility

Designed for use in exterior wood decking, fencing, and trim applications where a corrosion-resistant coated screw is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors using a star drive bit and a standard drill or impact driver. Ensure decking boards are properly supported and spaced before driving fasteners. Drive screws to a flush or slightly countersunk depth without overdriving, which can damage the ceramic coating and reduce corrosion resistance. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and deck construction requirements.
