Hillman Fasteners 461281 Galvanized Common Nail 2.5in 8D 12lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461281 is a 2.5 inch (8D) galvanized common nail sold in a 12-pound box. Common nails in this size are a standard fastener for structural framing, sheathing, decking, and general rough carpentry. The hot-dipped or electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making these nails suitable for treated lumber applications and exterior installations where moisture exposure is a factor. The 8D designation indicates a standard wire gauge and head diameter compatible with hand nailing and pneumatic nail guns that accept loose nails of this profile.

This fastener is used across residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include wall framing, floor decking, roof sheathing, and exterior wood assemblies. The 12-pound box quantity suits production framing crews, remodeling contractors, and maintenance teams who need a reliable supply on the job site. These nails are appropriate wherever galvanized fasteners are specified by code for exterior or treated-lumber contact.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors using a framing hammer or compatible nail gun. Always verify local building code requirements for fastener type, spacing, and galvanization grade when nailing into pressure-treated lumber. Store nails in a dry location to prevent premature corrosion of the coating before installation.
