Hillman Fasteners 461561 Galvanized Box Nail 3.5in 16D 50lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461561 is a 16D galvanized box nail sold in a 50-pound box. At 3.5 inches in length, this nail is built for exterior and structural wood framing where corrosion resistance is required. The galvanized coating protects against rust and oxidation in exposed or treated-lumber applications. Box nails feature a slimmer shank diameter than common nails, which reduces wood splitting on thinner stock and dimensional lumber. This product ships as a single box containing the full 50-pound quantity, making it a practical bulk option for framing crews and contractors working through high volume.

The 461561 is suited for residential and light commercial framing applications. The 16D designation and 3.5-inch length make it a standard choice for wall framing, floor systems, and structural sheathing attachment. The galvanized finish makes it appropriate for use with pressure-treated lumber in decking, sill plates, ledger boards, and other exterior assemblies where bare steel would corrode. Carpenters and general contractors typically reach for this nail size when working through a framing nailer or driving by hand on detailed work.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or framing contractors following applicable building code requirements. Drive nails with an appropriate framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer rated for 16D nails. When used with pressure-treated lumber, verify that the galvanized coating grade meets local code requirements for contact with treated wood. Store unused nails in a dry location to preserve the coating and prevent surface oxidation before use.
