Hillman Fasteners 461270 Drywall Nail 1-3/8 Inches

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461270 is a cupped head phosphate coated drywall nail designed for fastening gypsum wallboard panels to wood framing members. The nail measures 1-3/8 inches in length and features a cupped head profile that seats flush against drywall paper without tearing through the surface. The phosphate coating reduces corrosion and provides a surface that accepts joint compound cleanly. This nail is installed by finish carpenters, drywall hangers, and general construction trades as part of standard interior wall and ceiling assemblies.

This drywall nail is suited for residential and light commercial construction where wallboard is being attached to wood studs or ceiling joists. The 1-3/8 inch length is appropriate for standard 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch gypsum board panels. The package contains 12 pounds of nails, making it practical for larger jobs or crews that need bulk quantity on site. It is compatible with standard nail pouches and magnetic hammer heads.

Installation Notes

Drywall nails are driven by finish carpenters and drywall hangers using a standard drywall hammer or magnetic-head hammer. Drive each nail slightly below the surface to create a dimple for compound filling without breaking the paper face. Nails should be spaced according to applicable building code requirements, typically per local residential or commercial construction standards. Avoid overdriving, which breaks the paper face and reduces fastener holding strength.
