Hillman Fasteners 461308 Galvanized Finish Nail 3.5in 16D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461308 is a galvanized finish nail designed for trim and finish carpentry applications where corrosion resistance matters. At 3.5 inches in length and 16D designation, this nail is well suited for attaching baseboards, door casings, crown molding, and other finish millwork to wood framing. The galvanized coating provides a protective layer against moisture and oxidation, making it appropriate for both interior finish work and covered exterior trim installations. This nail is driven by finish carpenters, trim crews, and general contractors using pneumatic finish nailers or traditional hand-driving methods.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial construction where a clean, low-profile fastener head is required. The 16D size and 3.5-inch length make it particularly useful for securing thicker trim stock or built-up molding profiles to wood substrate. Each box contains 12 pounds of nails, providing a practical supply quantity for production trim work or larger remodeling projects.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Finish nails of this size are typically installed by carpenters using a pneumatic finish nailer rated for 16D nails or by hand-driving with a hammer and nail set. Always countersink the nail head slightly below the wood surface for proper finish concealment. Ensure the nailer air pressure is set within the tool manufacturer's recommended range to avoid over-driving or splitting trim stock. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener schedules on structural trim or exterior applications.
