Hillman Fasteners 461317 Galvanized Box Nail 2in 6D 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461317 is a 2-inch, 6D galvanized box nail sold in a 5-pound box. Box nails feature a thinner shank than common nails, reducing wood splitting during installation — a practical advantage when fastening trim, sheathing, siding, or other light framing lumber. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making these nails appropriate for exterior applications and treated lumber where bare steel fasteners would corrode prematurely. Contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople keep galvanized box nails on hand for a wide range of standard fastening tasks.

These nails are suited for residential and light commercial construction work including wood sheathing, fence boards, crating, box forms, and general carpentry where a slender-shank nail is preferred to limit splitting. The 6D designation indicates a standard nail size recognized across the trade, and the 2-inch length provides adequate penetration for typical single-layer fastening applications. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails. This SKU is packaged as a case of 4 boxes.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6D galvanized box nail suitable for general wood-fastening applications in exterior and interior carpentry where a 2-inch nail length is specified.

Installation Notes

These nails are driven by hand hammer or compatible pneumatic nailer set to the appropriate depth. When fastening near board edges or ends, pre-drilling may reduce splitting risk in dense or dry lumber. Always follow local building codes for fastener schedules on structural sheathing or diaphragm applications. For treated lumber, verify that the galvanized coating meets the corrosion-resistance rating required by the applicable building code for the preservative treatment used.
