Hillman Fasteners 461349 16D Deck Nail 3.5 Inches 5 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461349 is a 16D galvanized spiral shank deck nail designed for structural fastening in exterior wood decking applications. Each nail measures 3.5 inches in length and features a spiral shank profile that resists withdrawal under load cycling and seasonal wood movement. The hot-dipped or electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to outdoor and pressure-treated lumber environments. This product is sold as a 5-pound box and is a standard supply item for carpenters, deck contractors, and general construction crews using pneumatic nailers or hand-nailing methods.

These nails are intended for use in residential and light commercial deck framing and decking board installation. The 16D designation and 3.5-inch length make them appropriate for face-nailing standard deck boards to joists and for general framing connections where a larger-diameter nail is specified. The spiral shank pattern provides mechanical interlock with wood fibers, making this nail a preferred choice over smooth-shank alternatives in applications subject to repeated loading or moisture exposure. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, and the product is packaged 4 boxes per case.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and deck contractors using standard framing hammers or pneumatic nail guns rated for 16D ring or spiral shank nails — verify tool compatibility before use. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, only hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners should be used per ICC building code guidance to prevent accelerated corrosion from chemical preservatives. Pre-drilling may reduce splitting at board ends. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and edge-distance requirements.
