Hillman Fasteners 461427 Sinker Nail 3.25in 16D 50lb Box

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461427 is a vinyl coated sinker nail designed for structural framing and general construction fastening. The nail measures 3.25 inches in length, corresponding to a standard 16D penny size. The vinyl coating reduces driving resistance, allowing the nail to seat faster and with less effort using a standard framing hammer or pneumatic nailer. This box contains 50 pounds of nails, making it suited for high-volume framing work on job sites where replenishing fasteners frequently is not practical. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers of this product.

These sinker nails are used in wood-frame residential and light commercial construction. Typical applications include wall framing, floor joist assembly, roof decking, and structural sheathing. The 16D designation and 3.25-inch length are standard specifications for framing lumber connections using dimensional lumber. The 50-pound box format is common on production framing sites where bulk fastener supply is required to maintain workflow without interruption.

Installation Notes

Sinker nails of this type are installed by licensed carpenters and framing contractors following local building codes and applicable structural fastening schedules. Verify that nail length and shank type meet the fastening schedule requirements specified in the project drawings or local building code before installation. When using a pneumatic nailer, confirm that the tool is set to the correct depth and pressure for the lumber species and thickness being fastened. Store unused nails in a dry location to prevent corrosion of the coating.
