Hillman Fasteners 42605 Exterior Screws 2.5in No.10 50-pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42605 is a 50-pack of Fasntite Gray Ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor fastening applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Each screw measures 2.5 inches in length and is sized No. 10, with a sharp point Phillips drive and coarse thread pattern. The gray ceramic coating is rated for 1000-hour salt spray resistance and carries a 10-year warranty against corrosion. These fasteners are suited for installation by carpenters, general contractors, and remodeling tradespeople working on exterior wood structures, decking, trim, and similar applications.

These screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood fastening in residential and light commercial construction. The coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in dimensional lumber, engineered wood, and similar substrates. The sharp point tip eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most softwood applications, streamlining installation workflow. Typical uses include deck framing, exterior trim attachment, fence construction, and structural wood connections exposed to weather and moisture.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors using a No. 2 Phillips bit driver. Power down any adjacent electrical systems before fastening near utility penetrations. Avoid overdriving, which can compromise the ceramic coating and reduce corrosion resistance at the fastener head. Follow applicable local building codes for exterior wood fastener spacing and shear requirements.
