Hillman Fasteners 461577 12D Bright Common Nail 50 Lb Box

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461577 is a 12D bright common nail supplied in a 50-pound box. At 3.25 inches in length, this is a standard wire-shank common nail with a smooth bright finish — no coating, no galvanizing. Common nails of this size and penny weight are workhorses in rough framing, sheathing, and general structural carpentry. The 12D designation indicates a nail diameter consistent with structural load-path applications. Each box contains a single 50-pound unit, making it a practical bulk buy for framers, carpenters, and construction crews working through high-volume fastening tasks on residential or light commercial projects.

12D bright common nails are used primarily in wood-frame construction where moisture exposure is not a concern and a coating is not required by code or specification. Typical applications include interior rough framing, wall plate nailing, joist and header assembly, and subfloor blocking. Because these nails carry no corrosion-resistant coating, they are best suited for dry, protected interior structural work. Contractors and framers pulling from a 50-pound box will find this quantity appropriate for production framing on residential builds or remodel rough-in work.

Installation Notes

Bright common nails are installed by licensed carpenters and framing contractors and are a staple fastener under International Residential Code and International Building Code framing schedules. Always confirm the applicable nailing schedule for the structural element being fastened — header, plate, rim joist, or sheathing — before selecting nail count and spacing. Do not use bright uncoated nails in exterior, treated-lumber, or high-moisture environments where corrosion resistance is required. Store unused nails in a dry location to prevent surface oxidation that can affect drive performance.
