Hillman Fasteners 461575 Bright Common Nail 3.5in 16D 50lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461575 is a bright common nail designed for general framing and structural fastening applications. At 3.5 inches in length and 16D (sixteenpenny) designation, this nail size is a standard choice for framing walls, floors, and roof structures in both residential and light commercial construction. The smooth shank and flat head provide consistent drive and strong holding power in dimensional lumber. Each box contains 50 pounds of nails, making it a practical bulk quantity for ongoing jobsite use. Licensed carpenters, framers, and general contractors are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This nail is suited for wood-to-wood fastening in wood-framed structural assemblies. Common applications include stud-to-plate connections, joist hangers, sheathing attachment, and general rough carpentry where a 16D common nail meets code requirements. The 50-pound box format is well matched to production framing work where volume and consistent supply at the point of use matter.

Key Features

• 3.5 inch length, 16D designation — standard framing nail size for dimensional lumber
• Bright finish — uncoated steel suitable for interior and dry-application framing
• Flat head and smooth shank for consistent pneumatic or hand-drive performance
• 50-pound bulk box reduces restocking interruptions on active framing crews
• Common nail profile provides broad bearing surface and strong withdrawal resistance in wood

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard supply item for framing nail applications requiring a 3.5 inch 16D bright common nail in wood-frame construction assemblies.

Installation Notes

Bright common nails of this size are driven by licensed framers and carpenters using pneumatic framing nailers or 22-ounce to 28-ounce framing hammers. Verify that nail length and shank diameter meet local building code requirements and any applicable IRC or IBC framing schedules before installation. Store nails in a dry location to prevent surface oxidation, as bright-finish nails are not rated for exterior or high-moisture exposure. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving nails by hand or clearing nail gun jams.
