Hillman Fasteners 42606 Exterior Wood Screws 3 in No 10 50 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 42606 is a 50-pack of Fasntite Gray Ceramic exterior screws designed for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Each screw measures 3 inches in length at a No. 10 diameter with a coarse thread pitch and a sharp-point tip that drives cleanly without pre-drilling in most exterior wood substrates. The gray ceramic coating is rated for 1,000-hour salt spray resistance and carries a 10-year exterior performance rating, making these screws well suited for decking, fencing, trim work, and general outdoor construction. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and experienced DIYers use these for projects where corrosion resistance is a non-negotiable requirement.

These screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood and wood-to-composite fastening in residential and light commercial construction. The Phillips drive head is compatible with standard No. 2 Phillips bits. The coarse thread provides strong holding power in dimensional lumber, pressure-treated wood, and similar substrates. Typical applications include deck boards, fence boards, exterior trim, pergolas, and similar outdoor structures exposed to moisture, salt air, or humidity.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or experienced DIYers using a corded or cordless drill driver with a No. 2 Phillips bit. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, verify that the ceramic coating is rated for the preservative chemical used, as some ACQ or CA treatments can accelerate corrosion on incompatible fasteners. Drive screws flush to the surface without overdriving, which can fracture the coating and reduce corrosion resistance. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and embedment depth on structural applications such as decking and fencing.
