Hillman Fasteners 461287 16D Galvanized Nail 3.5in

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461287 is a 16D galvanized common nail measuring 3.5 inches in length. Common nails in this size and gauge are a standard fastener in structural framing, decking, and general construction work. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making these nails suitable for treated lumber, outdoor applications, and environments with elevated moisture exposure. Each box contains 12 pounds of nails, giving framers and general contractors a workable supply for production nailing tasks. These are driven by hammer or pneumatic framing nailers that accept full-round or clipped-head common nails of this diameter.

16D common nails at 3.5 inches are widely used in residential and light commercial framing for applications such as stud-to-plate connections, joist hangers, subfloor framing, and general wood-to-wood structural fastening. The galvanized finish makes them appropriate for pressure-treated lumber per common code requirements in exterior and ground-contact framing assemblies. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

These nails are installed by licensed carpenters, framers, or general contractors following applicable local building codes and IRC or IBC framing requirements. When used with pressure-treated lumber, confirm the galvanized coating grade meets current code requirements for the specific treatment chemical in use. For pneumatic installation, verify the nailer is set to the correct depth and that the tool accepts full-round-head common nails of this gauge before use.
