Hillman Fasteners 461319 Galvanized Box Nail 2.5in 8D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461319 is a 2.5 inch 8D galvanized box nail sold in a 1-pound box. Box nails have a thinner shank than common nails, which reduces splitting in dry or finish lumber. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating resists rust and corrosion, making these nails suitable for outdoor framing, sheathing, and general construction where moisture exposure is a concern. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for 8D box nails as a standard fastener for wood-to-wood connections in both residential and light commercial work.

These nails are appropriate for exterior sheathing, fence boards, decking sub-structure, and general rough carpentry where a standard 8D penny-size fastener is specified. The 2.5 inch length provides adequate penetration into dimensional lumber for structural holding power without over-driving. One-pound boxes suit smaller jobs, service trucks, or situations where a full bulk box is not practical.

Key Features

• 2.5 inch length, 8D penny designation — standard sizing for rough framing and sheathing applications
• Thin box-nail shank profile reduces wood splitting compared to common nails of the same length
• Galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber applications
• Sold by the pound in box packaging for convenient jobsite use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8D box nail suitable for wood framing, sheathing, and general carpentry connections using dimensional lumber.

Installation Notes

These fasteners are driven by a standard framing hammer or pneumatic nail gun configured for smooth-shank box nails of the appropriate gauge. Always confirm that galvanized nails meet the corrosion-resistance class required by local building codes when fastening pressure-treated lumber, as some treated wood chemistries require a higher corrosion-resistance rating. Follow IRC or local code requirements for nail schedules in structural sheathing and framing connections.
