Hillman Fasteners 461362 Bright Common Nail 3.25in 12D 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461362 is a 12D bright common nail designed for general framing, sheathing, and structural fastening applications. At 3.25 inches in length, it meets the dimensional standard for a 12-penny common nail — the workhorse size in wood-frame construction. The bright finish indicates no coating or galvanizing, making it suited for interior and dry-environment use. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, and this SKU is packaged 4 boxes per case. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and framing crews rely on this size daily for stud-to-plate connections, subfloor nailing, and general rough carpentry.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction. Typical applications include wall framing, roof sheathing attachment, floor decking, and general structural assembly where a full round-head common nail is specified. Because the finish is bright with no corrosion-resistant coating, it is appropriate for interior applications or covered exterior assemblies not exposed to sustained moisture or treated lumber.

Key Features

• 12D (12-penny) designation — 3.25 inches in length, standard framing dimension
• Bright finish — clean, uncoated steel surface suited for interior structural use
• Full round head common nail profile for high shear and withdrawal resistance
• 5-pound box packaging for bench use or job-site distribution
• Packaged 4 boxes per case (20 pounds per case total)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 12D common nail compatible with pneumatic framing nailers that accept full round-head stick or coil formats when loaded manually, and suitable for hand-nailing applications in wood-frame construction per IRC and IBC fastening schedules.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using a framing hammer or pneumatic nailer. Consult the applicable building code fastening schedule — such as those in the IRC or IBC — to confirm nail size, spacing, and quantity requirements before fastening structural members. Bright common nails are not rated for use with pressure-treated lumber or in continuously wet environments; use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners in those conditions.
