Hillman Fasteners 461484 Galvanized Box Nail 4in 20D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461484 is a 4-inch 20D galvanized box nail sold in a 12-pound box. Box nails are slimmer in shank diameter than common nails, which reduces wood splitting when fastening boards, sheathing, or framing members. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber applications. At 4 inches in length, the 20D designation indicates a standard penny-weight sizing used widely in structural and general construction carpentry. This fastener is a go-to for carpenters, framers, and general contractors who need a reliable corrosion-resistant nail for high-volume work.

These nails are suited for residential and light commercial construction tasks including wood framing, roof sheathing, subfloor installation, and fence or decking work where a slender shank profile is preferred. The 20D size is commonly driven with a framing hammer or pneumatic nailer that accepts smooth-shank stick or coil nails of this diameter. The galvanized finish makes them appropriate for pressure-treated lumber and other exterior assemblies exposed to moisture.

Key Features

• 4-inch length, 20D penny-weight sizing for structural and general carpentry use
• Galvanized coating resists corrosion in exterior and treated-lumber applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 20D galvanized box nail suitable for wood framing, sheathing, and general exterior construction applications where a corrosion-resistant fastener is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, or general contractors using a framing hammer or compatible pneumatic nailer. Always verify that the nail length and shank type meet local building code requirements for the specific structural application. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, use only hot-dipped galvanized or similarly rated fasteners as required by current IRC and building codes. Store unused nails in a dry location to preserve the galvanized coating before use.
