Hillman Fasteners 42594 Tan Deck Screws 3in No.10 40 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42594 is a 40-pack of Deck Plus tan ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor decking and structural wood fastening applications. Each screw measures 3 inches in length with a No. 10 shank diameter. The tan ceramic coating provides corrosion resistance rated to 1,500 hours of salt spray testing, making these screws suitable for pressure-treated lumber and exposed exterior conditions. The self-drilling cut point eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most deck framing scenarios. The star drive head and coarse serrated thread pattern promote fast, positive drive and strong pull-through resistance in wood substrates.

These screws are intended for residential and light commercial exterior decking, fencing, and outdoor wood structure assembly. The tan ceramic finish is formulated to blend with common composite and pressure-treated deck board colorations. Installation is handled by carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working with treated lumber, hardwood decking, or similar exterior wood applications. The coarse serrated thread is optimized for softwood and treated pine commonly used in deck framing and surface boards.

Installation Notes

When fastening into very dense hardwood or end grain, a pilot hole is recommended to prevent splitting. Follow applicable building codes for deck fastener spacing and withdrawal load requirements.
