Hillman Fasteners 461567 Sinker Nail 3.75 in 20D 50 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461567 is a 20D sinker nail packaged in a 50-pound box, designed for heavy-duty framing and structural fastening applications. At 3.75 inches in length, this nail is sized for full-dimension lumber connections commonly found in wall framing, floor systems, and roof decking. Sinker nails feature a coated shank and a slightly smaller head profile than common nails, allowing them to drive flush or slightly below the wood surface without splitting the material. This box format is suited for contractors and framers who need a high-volume supply on the jobsite.

These sinker nails are used in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction. Typical applications include stud-to-plate connections, joist hangers, subfloor fastening, and general rough carpentry where a strong, driven nail is required. The 20D designation identifies nail size per the penny system, making specification and inspection straightforward on framed construction projects. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by framers and carpenters using a framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer compatible with round-head 20D sinker nails. Always verify nailer manufacturer specifications before loading bulk nails into collated or strip-style tools. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC framing requirements, for nail schedule and spacing. Wear appropriate eye protection during nailing operations.
