Hillman Fasteners 461528 Bright Common Nail 4 Inches 20D

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461528 is a 20D bright common nail designed for heavy-duty structural and framing applications. At 4 inches in length, this nail drives into dimensional lumber with the holding power required for rough framing, subfloor construction, and general carpentry work. The bright finish indicates no coating or treatment, making these nails suited for interior dry applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary concern. Each box contains 5 pounds of nails, providing a practical quantity for production framing work. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This nail is intended for wood-to-wood fastening in residential and light commercial construction. The 20D penny designation and 4-inch shank length make it a standard choice for double top plates, headers, rim joists, and similar structural connections where code-specified nailing schedules call for larger common nails. These are driven by hand with a framing hammer or with a compatible pneumatic nail gun that accepts round-head common nails of this diameter and length.

Key Features

• 4-inch length, 20D penny size for structural framing applications
• Bright finish for interior dry-environment use

• Sold in a 5-pound box for jobsite-ready quantity

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 20D bright common nail for use in wood-frame construction where nailing schedules specify a 4-inch common nail for interior structural connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or framers following applicable building codes such as the IRC or IBC nailing schedule tables. Drive nails flush to the wood surface without overdriving, which can split lumber or compromise joint integrity. For interior-only use — bright common nails are not rated for exterior, pressure-treated lumber, or high-moisture environments where a galvanized or stainless fastener is required. Always follow the project nailing schedule for spacing and quantity requirements at each connection.
