Hillman Fasteners 461391 Bright Box Nail 3.5in 16D 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461391 is a 16D bright box nail rated at 3.5 inches in length, packaged in a 5-pound box. Bright box nails feature a smooth, uncoated shank with a flat head and a thinner-gauge body compared to common nails, reducing wood splitting on framing and sheathing applications. This nail is a standard choice for general carpentry, wood framing, and structural sheathing work. Licensed carpenters, framers, and general contractors keep this size on hand for high-volume fastening tasks where a clean, smooth-shank nail meets code requirements and project specs.

The 16D designation indicates a 3.5-inch nail length, which is a standard size for through-nailing dimensional lumber, attaching wall sheathing, and general wood-frame construction. The bright finish means no galvanizing or coating, making it appropriate for interior applications and dry-service environments. This product is sold in a 5-pound box and is available in a package quantity of 4 boxes per case, making it suitable for contractors stocking jobsite supplies or supply houses fulfilling trade orders.

Installation Notes

Bright box nails are intended for interior or dry-service applications only — do not use in exposed, wet, or treated-lumber applications where corrosion resistance is required. Always drive nails with an appropriate hammer or pneumatic nailer rated for the nail gauge and length. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC framing nailing schedules, for structural connections. Store fasteners in a dry location to prevent surface oxidation.
