Hillman Fasteners 461288 16D Galvanized Common Nail 3.5in 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461288 is a 16D hot dip galvanized common nail designed for structural and general framing applications. At 3.5 inches in length, this nail delivers the penetration depth required for through-nailing dimensional lumber in wood-frame construction. The hot dip galvanizing process coats each nail with a thick zinc layer, providing corrosion resistance in treated lumber, exterior framing, and high-moisture environments. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, and the package is sold in a box of 4 units. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors rely on this fastener for code-compliant framing work where galvanized fasteners are specified.

This nail is suited for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction, deck framing, sheathing, and exterior structural connections where corrosion-resistant fasteners are required by code. The 16D designation indicates a standard framing nail size widely called out in building plans and IRC framing schedules. Hot dip galvanized fasteners are commonly required when fastening pressure-treated lumber per current building code standards. Each 5-pound box provides a working quantity appropriate for production framing tasks.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and framers using a framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer rated for 3.5-inch smooth-shank nails. Verify that your nailer magazine accepts loose round-head common nails before use. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, always use galvanized or otherwise corrosion-resistant fasteners as required by the IRC and local building codes. Store unused nails in a dry location to prevent premature surface oxidation of cut ends.
