Hillman Fasteners 461425 16D Sinker Nail 3.25 in 5 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461425 is a 16D vinyl coated sinker nail sized at 3.25 inches, sold in a 5-pound box. The vinyl coating reduces driving resistance, allowing the nail to seat faster with less effort using a framing hammer or pneumatic nailer. The flat head and smooth shank profile are standard for structural framing and sheathing applications. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for this nail size when working on wall framing, floor decking, and roof sheathing where a full-sized common nail is specified or where a sinker profile is preferred for speed and consistency.

This nail is suited for residential and light commercial wood framing tasks. The 16D designation makes it appropriate for double top plates, king and jack studs, header assemblies, and similar load-bearing connections. The 5-pound box format and 4-box packaging make it practical for job-site stocking. Hand-nailing crews and crews running round-head framing nailers that accept smooth-shank sinkers both rely on this format.

Key Features

• 3.25-inch length with 16D designation for structural framing work
• Vinyl coating reduces friction for faster, cleaner driving
• 5-pound box quantity supports extended job-site use without frequent restocking
• Flat sinker head profile seats flush without splitting standard dimensional lumber
• Compatible with hand-nailing and compatible pneumatic framing nailers that accept smooth-shank sinkers

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16D smooth-shank sinker nail for use with dimensional lumber in wood-frame construction applications.

Installation Notes

Licensed carpenters and framing crews install 16D sinker nails in accordance with IRC and IBC nailing schedules for the specific assembly type. Always verify the required nail size and spacing against the applicable code table or structural drawings before fastening. Drive nails to full depth without overdriving and splitting the wood fiber. When using a pneumatic nailer, confirm the tool is rated for the nail length and shank diameter before loading.
