Hillman Fasteners 461583 Galvanized Common Nail 3.25 in 12D 50 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461583 is a 12D galvanized common nail designed for structural framing, sheathing, decking, and general rough carpentry applications. At 3.25 inches in length, this nail meets the dimensional requirements for 12D common-nail specifications used throughout residential and light commercial construction. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber applications. Sold as a 50-pound box, this bulk format is suited to production framing crews, roofing contractors, and site carpenters who load pneumatic coil nailers or drive nails by hand on large-volume jobs.

This nail is appropriate for wood-to-wood structural connections including wall framing, floor systems, roof framing, and wood decking. The 12D common nail is one of the most frequently specified fasteners in residential construction and appears throughout standard framing details in model building codes. The 50-pound bulk box reduces handling time on busy job sites and is compatible with standard nail bins and pneumatic nailer magazines designed for smooth-shank common nails of this diameter.

Key Features

• 3.25-inch length meets 12D common nail specification

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors following applicable building code fastener schedules. Drive nails to full seating without overdriving, which can reduce withdrawal strength in structural connections. When used with pressure-treated lumber, verify that the galvanized coating grade meets current code requirements for contact with the specific preservative treatment used. Follow the fastener schedule in the applicable residential or commercial building code for required nail size and spacing.
