Hillman Fasteners 461563 Galvanized Box Nail 2.5 in 8D 50 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461563 is a galvanized box nail sold in a 50-pound bulk box. At 2.5 inches in length and designated as an 8D (eightpenny) size, this nail is engineered for structural and general framing applications where corrosion resistance is required. The galvanized coating provides protection against rust and oxidation, making it suitable for exterior, treated-lumber, and moisture-prone environments. Each box contains a single unit of 50 pounds of nails, providing ample supply for large-scale projects. Trade professionals rely on this size and coating for consistent performance in demanding field conditions.

The 461563 is suited for residential and light commercial construction, decking, sheathing, fencing, and general carpentry where a box-profile nail is specified. The 8D designation and 2.5-inch length make it a common choice for attaching dimensional lumber, subflooring, and wall sheathing. Licensed contractors, framers, and finish carpenters working on projects requiring galvanized fasteners for treated lumber or outdoor exposure will find this a standard-format option.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using hand hammers or pneumatic nailers compatible with 8D box nails. Always verify that the nail gun magazine and drive settings are rated for the nail length and shank diameter before loading. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, confirm that the galvanized coating meets applicable building code requirements for contact with treated wood. Follow local building codes for fastener schedules on structural assemblies.
