Hillman Fasteners 461398 16D Duplex Nail 3.5 in 50 Lb Box

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461398 is a 16D bright duplex nail sold in a 50-pound box. Duplex nails feature a double-head design that allows for easy removal after temporary fastening work. At 3.5 inches in length, the 16D sizing is well suited for heavy-duty temporary construction applications. The bright finish indicates no coating, keeping the nail free from any galvanizing or vinyl treatment. Carpenters, concrete form builders, and general contractors reach for this nail when the work requires a fastener that holds securely but can be pulled cleanly when the structure is stripped or dismantled.

Bright duplex nails in the 16D size are a standard choice for concrete formwork, scaffolding, and temporary framing assemblies. The double-head design gives the installer a grip point above the surface for fast removal with a cat's paw or hammer. A 50-pound bulk box is the practical quantity for job-site use where high-volume nailing is required across multiple pours or temporary assemblies. This fastener is appropriate for wood-to-wood temporary connections in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Duplex nails are installed by qualified carpenters or form-setting crews following local building codes and jobsite safety requirements. Always wear appropriate eye protection when hand-nailing. When stripping forms, use a cat's paw or flat bar against the upper head to pull the nail without splitting the form lumber. Do not use duplex nails as a permanent structural fastener.
