Hillman Fasteners 461428 Vinyl Coated Sinker Nail 3.75in 20D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461428 is a 20D vinyl coated sinker nail measuring 3.75 inches in length, sold by the pound in box packaging. The vinyl coating reduces driving friction, allowing the nail to seat faster with less effort during framing and general carpentry work. At 20D (twenty-penny) sizing, this nail is well-suited for structural framing applications where a longer, heavier shank is required. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers. Each box contains 12 units sold by the pound.

This sinker nail is used in wood-frame construction, including wall framing, floor decking, and roof sheathing. The 3.75-inch length provides adequate penetration into dimensional lumber for standard stud-to-plate and joist connections. The vinyl coating acts as a temporary lubricant during driving, which is particularly useful when working with dense or engineered lumber. Hand-nailing and pneumatic nail gun applications are both common with this nail type.

Installation Notes

Installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using standard framing hammers or pneumatic nailers rated for 20D sinkers. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC and local framing requirements, for nail schedules and spacing. Inspect lumber for knots or splits before driving to avoid fastener deflection. Do not use in applications requiring hot-dipped galvanized or stainless fasteners where corrosion resistance is specified.
