Hillman Fasteners 461420 12D Sinker Nail 3.125in Vinyl Coated

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461420 is a vinyl coated sinker nail designed for general framing and structural fastening applications. The 12D designation indicates a nail length of 3.125 inches, sized for joining dimensional lumber in wall, floor, and roof framing assemblies. The vinyl coating reduces drive friction, allowing the nail to seat faster and with less effort than bright or plain-shank alternatives. This product is sold by the pound and is a standard trade-quantity fastening supply used by carpenters, framers, and general contractors.

This sinker nail is suited for wood-frame residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include stud-to-plate connections, joist framing, subfloor nailing, and general rough carpentry where a smooth, fast-driving nail is preferred. The 12D size is one of the most commonly specified nails in platform-frame construction and is compatible with most framing nailers and hand-nailing workflows alike.

Installation Notes

Sinker nails of this size are typically installed by licensed carpenters or framing contractors following IRC or IBC structural fastening schedules. When using with a pneumatic nailer, verify tool pressure settings are appropriate for the nail gauge before driving. Inspect nail heads after driving to confirm full seating without over-penetration into the lumber face. Follow applicable local building code fastening schedules for structural connections.
