Hillman Fasteners 461390 16d Bright Box Nail 3.5 Inches

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461390 is a 16d bright box nail designed for general framing, sheathing, and wood fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction. Measuring 3.5 inches in length, this nail features a smooth bright finish and a standard box-nail shank diameter, which is slightly thinner than a common nail to reduce wood splitting. It is sold by the pound and packaged in a box of 12 units. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for this nail when a high-volume, dependable fastener is needed for structural and finish wood assemblies.

The 461390 is suited for attaching wood framing members, wall sheathing, subflooring, and similar structural wood-to-wood connections. Its 16d designation and 3.5-inch length make it a standard choice for tasks such as doubling up top plates, nailing studs to plates, and fastening dimensional lumber where code-compliant nailing schedules call for 16d box nails. The bright finish is appropriate for interior dry applications and protected exterior assemblies.

Installation Notes

Bright box nails of this type are driven by carpenters and framers using a framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer set to the appropriate depth. Always verify the applicable building code nailing schedule before installation to confirm nail size, spacing, and quantity requirements for the specific connection. Bright finish nails are intended for dry or protected environments and should not be used as a substitute for hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners in exposed or high-moisture conditions.
