Hillman Fasteners 461396 Bright Duplex Nail 3 Inches 16D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461396 is a 3-inch, 16D bright duplex nail sold by the pound. Duplex nails feature a double-head design that allows for easy removal after temporary fastening applications. The bright finish indicates no coating, making these nails suitable for dry-environment use where corrosion resistance is not required. Contractors and tradespeople use these fasteners for formwork, concrete forms, scaffolding, and other temporary construction assemblies where clean removal is a priority without damaging the surrounding material.

These 16D duplex nails are commonly used in residential and light commercial construction for temporary wood-form assemblies. Their double-head shank design lets the nail seat fully against the substrate while the upper head remains exposed for pry-bar or hammer removal. They are appropriate for framing crews, concrete form carpenters, and general contractors who regularly build and strip temporary structures on job sites.

• 3-inch length and 16D penny weight suitable for standard form lumber thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16D duplex nail for use with dimensional lumber in temporary formwork, scaffolding, and similar construction assemblies.

Installation Notes

Drive with a standard framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer rated for duplex nails. Ensure the lower head seats flush with the work surface so the upper head remains accessible for removal. When stripping forms, use a pry bar or cats-paw against a backing block to protect adjacent lumber. Follow applicable local building codes for temporary structure fastening requirements.
