Hillman Fasteners 461437 Siding Nail 2.5 in 8D Box of 12

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461437 is a galvanized hardboard siding nail designed for exterior siding installation and fastening applications. At 2.5 inches in length and sized as an 8D nail, it provides reliable penetration depth for securing hardboard siding panels to wood framing. The hot-dipped or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor and weather-exposed installations. Carpenters, siding contractors, and general construction crews rely on this nail for consistent holding power in residential and light commercial siding work. Each box contains 12 pounds of nails, providing a practical job-site quantity for larger siding projects.

This nail is used in exterior siding applications where hardboard panels are fastened to wood studs or sheathing. The 8D designation and 2.5-inch length meet common code requirements for hardboard siding fastening as outlined in residential building codes and siding manufacturer installation guidelines. The galvanized finish helps prevent rust staining on painted or primed siding surfaces over time, which is a critical consideration for exterior finish work on residential structures.

Installation Notes

Siding nails should be installed by qualified carpenters or siding contractors following local building codes and the siding manufacturer's fastening schedule. Drive nails flush with the siding surface without overdriving, as overdriving can break the face of hardboard panels. Always follow applicable IRC or local residential building code requirements for fastener spacing and penetration depth. Use appropriate hand or pneumatic nailing equipment rated for the nail shank diameter and length.
