Hillman Fasteners 461582 16D Galvanized Common Nail 50 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461582 is a 16D galvanized common nail supplied in a 50-pound box. Each nail measures 3.5 inches in length, conforming to standard 16-penny sizing used throughout structural framing and general construction. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for treated lumber, exterior framing, and exposed wood applications. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for 16D common nails as a go-to fastener for wall plates, joists, headers, and sheathing assemblies where holding strength and weather resistance are both required.

This fastener is appropriate for residential and light commercial construction framing, decking substructure, and rough carpentry. The 50-pound bulk box format is sized for production framing crews and contractors who need a high-volume supply on the job site. 16D common nails at 3.5 inches are driven by hand hammer or pneumatic framing nailer with a compatible full-round or clipped-head magazine accepting smooth-shank stick or loose nails of this diameter and length.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or framing contractors following applicable building codes, including IRC and local jurisdiction requirements for fastener schedules. Always verify that the galvanized coating grade meets project specifications when fastening pressure-treated lumber, as some preservative treatments require a minimum coating weight. Store fasteners in a dry location to prevent premature oxidation of the coating prior to use.
