Hillman Fasteners 461327 16D Galvanized Box Nail 3.5in 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461327 is a 16D galvanized box nail designed for general framing, sheathing, and exterior wood construction. At 3.5 inches in length, this nail is a standard 16-penny size suited for dimensional lumber connections where weather resistance is required. The hot-dipped or electrogalvanized coating resists corrosion in outdoor and high-moisture environments. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, providing a practical supply for framing crews, finish carpenters, and general contractors working on residential or light commercial projects. Installation can be completed by hand nailing or with a compatible framing hammer.

This nail is used in wood framing, subflooring, wall sheathing, and exterior decking applications where a thinner-shank box nail profile is preferred over a common nail. The 16D designation makes it a go-to fastener for attaching 2x lumber in platform and balloon framing. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for treated lumber and exterior exposure conditions where bare steel nails would corrode prematurely. Sold in a 5-pound box, with a package quantity of 4 boxes per master carton.

Installation Notes

Always verify local building codes for fastener type and corrosion-resistance requirements when nailing into pressure-treated lumber. Wear appropriate eye protection when hand nailing or working near pneumatic nail guns.
