Hillman Fasteners 461303 Galvanized Casing Nail 3.5in 16D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461303 is a 16D galvanized casing nail measuring 3.5 inches in length, sold in a box quantity of 12 pounds. Casing nails feature a small, countersinkable head that sits flush or slightly below the surface, making them a standard choice for finish carpentry, door and window casing, and exterior trim work. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for applications exposed to moisture or outdoor conditions. Carpenters, finish trimmers, and general contractors reach for this fastener when a clean surface appearance is required alongside reliable holding strength.

This nail is suited for residential and light commercial finish carpentry. Typical applications include installing door casings, window trim, baseboards, and exterior millwork where a nail head that can be set and filled is preferred over a standard common or framing nail. The 16D designation indicates a standard wire gauge and shank length appropriate for securing trim stock to framing members or substrate materials.

Key Features

• 3.5-inch length with 16D specification for finish and casing work
• Galvanized coating resists corrosion in moisture-exposed or exterior applications
• Small countersinkable head allows flush or below-surface setting and filling
• Sold in a 12-pound box for jobsite-quantity availability
• Compatible with hand nailing and pneumatic finish nailers designed for 16D casing nails

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16D casing nail suitable for use in typical finish carpentry and exterior trim installations requiring a 3.5-inch galvanized fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by finish carpenters or general tradespeople using a hammer or pneumatic nailer rated for 16D casing nails. Drive nails at the recommended angle for the trim profile and use a nail set to countersink the head below the surface before filling. When used in exterior applications, verify that the galvanized coating is appropriate for the exposure level and any contact with treated lumber per applicable building codes.
