Hillman Fasteners 461565 Galvanized Box Nail 2in 6D 50lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461565 is a 6D galvanized box nail sized at 2 inches, sold in a 50-pound bulk box. Box nails feature a thinner shank than common nails, which reduces splitting in boards and siding during installation. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber applications. At 50 pounds per box, this quantity suits high-volume framing, sheathing, siding, and decking work where hand-nailing or pneumatic nailer reloads are frequent. Carpenters, general contractors, and framing crews are the primary installers.

The 6D designation indicates a 2-inch nail length, a standard size used in light framing, wood sheathing, and exterior siding attachment. The galvanized finish makes these nails appropriate for pressure-treated lumber and outdoor exposure conditions where bare steel nails would corrode prematurely. They are suited to residential and light commercial construction projects requiring code-compliant corrosion-resistant fasteners in exterior or treated-wood assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general construction tradespeople. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, always use galvanized or stainless fasteners as required by current building codes to prevent accelerated corrosion from treatment chemicals. Follow applicable IRC or IBC fastener schedule requirements for the specific assembly being built. Store unused nails in a dry location to maintain coating integrity.
