Hillman Fasteners 461286 12D Galvanized Common Nail 3.25in 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461286 is a 12D galvanized common nail designed for general-purpose structural and framing applications. At 3.25 inches in length, this nail meets the standard 12-penny specification used in wood framing, decking, and rough carpentry. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both interior and exterior work where moisture exposure is a concern. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, packaged in a case quantity of 4 boxes. This fastener is a go-to choice for framing crews, general contractors, and carpenters who need a reliable, code-compatible common nail in volume.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction, including wall framing, floor decking, roof sheathing, and general rough carpentry. The 12D common nail is one of the most widely specified fasteners in platform-frame construction and is referenced in standard nailing schedules found in residential building codes. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for pressure-treated lumber applications and exterior assemblies where bare steel nails would corrode prematurely.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general construction tradespeople using a framing hammer or compatible pneumatic nailer. Follow the nailing schedule specified in the applicable residential or commercial building code for the jurisdiction. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, confirm the galvanized coating grade meets the lumber treatment level per manufacturer guidelines. Store nails in a dry location to prevent premature corrosion of the coating before installation.
