Hillman Fasteners 461483 Galvanized Casing Nail 3in 10D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461483 is a 3-inch, 10D galvanized casing nail sold in a box quantity of 12. Casing nails feature a small, barrel-shaped head that sets just below the surface without the broad footprint of a common wire nail, making them a standard choice for trim carpentry, door casing, and window casing work. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior or moisture-exposed applications. At 12 units per box, this package suits both single-job needs and restocking a fastener inventory on the truck or at the shop.

Casing nails in the 10D, 3-inch size are commonly used by carpenters and finish trim contractors installing exterior door and window casing, base molding transitions, and similar millwork where a low-profile head is needed. The galvanized finish makes these appropriate for exterior trim applications where bare steel fasteners would rust and bleed through painted surfaces. General contractors and residential remodelers also keep this size on hand for a range of interior and exterior trim tasks.

Key Features

• 3-inch length, 10D penny weight — standard trim nail sizing for door and window casing
• Galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in exterior and high-moisture environments
• Barrel-style casing head sets flush or slightly below surface for clean finish work
• 12-count box packaging for single-job supply or truck-stock replenishment
• 12 pounds package weight — suitable for bulk handling on the jobsite

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10D, 3-inch casing nail suitable for hand-nailing applications in door casing, window casing, and exterior trim installation where a galvanized fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Casing nails are driven by hand with a finish hammer; a nail set is used to recess the head slightly below the wood surface before filling. When installing exterior trim, follow local building codes for fastener type and spacing. Always pre-drill near the end of trim boards in hardwood species to prevent splitting. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving or setting nails.
