Hillman Fasteners 461486 Galvanized Joist Hanger Nail 1.5in 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461486 is a 1.5-inch galvanized joist hanger nail sold in a 5-pound box. These nails are purpose-built for securing metal joist hangers, hurricane ties, and structural connectors to framing lumber. The hot-dipped or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion in treated lumber and damp environments, making them a standard choice for floor framing, deck framing, and similar structural applications. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for these when installing engineered lumber systems or conventional dimensional framing where connector hardware is specified by the plans or local code.

This nail is sized specifically to fit the nail holes stamped into standard joist hanger hardware. The 1.5-inch length is the accepted specification for most single and double joist hangers used in residential and light commercial construction. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, and the product ships in a case pack of 4 boxes, making it practical for job-site stocking on larger framing projects.

Key Features

• 1.5-inch length sized for standard joist hanger nail-hole patterns
• Galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in treated lumber and exterior framing
• 5-pound box quantity suits both small repair jobs and larger framing runs
• Sold in a case of 4 boxes for job-site bulk stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-size replacement or stocking nail for use with metal joist hanger hardware in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified framers or carpenters following the connector manufacturer's specified nail schedule and applicable local building codes. Use only in the designated nail holes of the hanger hardware — never substitute a different nail length or shank type unless the connector manufacturer explicitly approves it. In applications involving pressure-treated lumber, verify that the galvanizing specification meets current code requirements for contact with treated wood. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving nails by hammer or pneumatic nailer.
