Hillman Fasteners 461438 Siding Nail 2.5in 8D 5lb Box

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461438 is a galvanized hardboard siding nail designed for fastening hardboard siding panels to wood framing. At 2.5 inches in length and 8D designation, this nail provides the penetration depth needed to secure siding material through sheathing and into structural members. The hot-dipped or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion in exterior applications, making it suitable for use in humid or weather-exposed environments. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails. This product is handled by siding contractors, carpenters, and general contractors working on residential and light commercial exterior cladding projects.

These siding nails are used in exterior wall assemblies where hardboard siding panels are applied over wood or engineered wood sheathing. The 8D sizing and 2.5-inch length match standard installation requirements for hardboard lap siding and panel siding products. They are commonly driven by hand hammer or pneumatic nailer in new construction and re-siding applications. Each package contains 4 boxes, with each box holding 5 pounds of nails, making this format practical for larger siding jobs where consistent supply on site matters.

Installation Notes

Siding nails of this type are installed by carpenters and siding contractors following manufacturer siding installation guidelines and applicable building codes. Power down or disconnect any pneumatic nailer before clearing jams or changing nail strips. Drive nails flush to the siding surface without overdriving, as overdriving can break through hardboard material and compromise the fastening. Follow local building code requirements for nail spacing and edge distance when fastening hardboard siding panels.
