Hillman Fasteners 461475 Galvanized Spike Nail 3/8x10 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461475 is a hot dipped galvanized spike nail sold in a 5-pound box. Each nail measures 3/8 inch in diameter and 10 inches in length, making it suited for heavy-duty fastening tasks that require both depth and holding strength. The hot dipped galvanizing process coats the nail in zinc, providing corrosion resistance for exterior and below-grade applications. Contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople reach for spike nails when standard fasteners lack the length or shank diameter to handle the load.

Spike nails in this size range are commonly used in timber framing, dock and pier construction, railroad tie fastening, heavy timber landscaping, and utility pole work. The 10-inch length drives through thick lumber sections where shorter common nails would not achieve adequate penetration. The hot dipped galvanized coating makes this nail appropriate for treated lumber, outdoor structural assemblies, and applications where moisture exposure is a regular factor.

Key Features

• Hot dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in exterior and wet environments
• 3/8 inch shank diameter provides substantial holding strength in heavy timber
• 10 inch length suitable for thick lumber connections and deep penetration applications
• Sold by weight in a 5-pound box for jobsite quantity management
• Compatible with treated lumber commonly used in outdoor structural builds

Compatibility

Designed for use in heavy timber framing, dock construction, landscape timber, and similar structural applications requiring a large-diameter, long-shank galvanized fastener.

Installation Notes

Spike nails are driven by a framing hammer or maul and are typically installed by carpenters, general contractors, or laborers on timber framing and civil construction work. Pre-drilling a pilot hole slightly smaller than the shank diameter can reduce splitting in seasoned or dense timber. Follow applicable building codes and structural fastener requirements for the jurisdiction. Eye protection should be worn during driving operations.
