Hillman Fasteners 461392 8D Duplex Nail 2.25 Inches

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461392 is an 8D bright duplex nail measuring 2.25 inches in length, sold by the pound in box quantities of 12 units. Duplex nails feature a double-head design that allows easy removal after temporary fastening applications. The first head seats flush against the material surface while the second head remains exposed for straightforward extraction with a hammer claw or nail puller. This nail is commonly used by construction crews, form carpenters, and general contractors who need a reliable temporary fastener that can be pulled cleanly without damaging the surrounding structure. The bright finish is suitable for dry, interior applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern.

Duplex nails are a standard choice for concrete formwork, temporary bracing, staging, and scaffolding assembly where the fastener must be driven securely but later removed without excessive effort. The 8D designation indicates a standard wire gauge and 2.25-inch length appropriate for attaching dimensional lumber in light framing and temporary construction assemblies. Trade professionals in commercial and residential construction rely on this nail type during the forming and shoring stages of a project, where repeated reuse of lumber is expected.

Installation Notes

Duplex nails are driven by carpenters and general laborers using a standard framing hammer or pneumatic nailer capable of handling 8D ring or smooth shank nails. Drive the nail until the first head is flush with the work surface, leaving the second head exposed for later removal. When stripping forms or dismantling temporary structures, extract nails promptly to prevent bending that can make removal more difficult. Disposal of used nails should comply with applicable jobsite waste and safety protocols.
