Hillman Fasteners 461326 Galvanized Box Nail 3.5in 16D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461326 is a 3.5-inch 16D galvanized box nail sold in a 1-pound box. Box nails feature a thinner shank than common nails, reducing wood splitting during installation. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber applications. These fasteners are used by framing carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on structural and rough carpentry tasks where a lighter-gauge nail profile is preferred over common nails.

The 461326 is suited for exterior sheathing, fence construction, decking substructure, and general framing where resistance to moisture and rust is required. The 16D designation indicates a standard nail size commonly used in wood-frame construction. The galvanized finish makes this nail appropriate for use with pressure-treated lumber in compliance with current treated-wood fastener recommendations.

Follow applicable building codes for nail spacing and fastener schedules.
