Hillman Fasteners 461414 8D Vinyl Coated Sinker Nail

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461414 is an 8D vinyl coated sinker nail measuring 2.375 inches in length. The vinyl coating reduces driving resistance and helps the nail seat flush without splitting the wood fiber. This fastener is sold by the pound and packaged in a box format, making it a standard stocking unit for framing crews, rough carpenters, and general contractors. The 8D designation places it in the common range for structural framing applications where consistent holding strength and fast hand or pneumatic driving are required.

This nail is suited for residential and light commercial wood framing, sheathing, and general rough carpentry. The sinker profile and vinyl coating make it compatible with both hand nailing and most framing nailers that accept wire collated or bulk sinker nails. It is a go-to fastener on wall framing, floor decking, and roof sheathing applications where production speed and code-compliant fastening are both priorities.

Installation Notes

Licensed carpenters and framing contractors install sinker nails by hand hammer or framing nailer depending on production requirements. Always verify that nail length and shear values meet local building code requirements before installation, particularly where engineered lumber or shear wall schedules are specified. Store nails in a dry location to prevent corrosion that could affect coating adhesion and driving performance.
