Hillman Fasteners 461586 6D Galvanized Common Nail 50 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461586 is a 6D galvanized common nail sold in a 50-pound bulk box. Each nail measures 2 inches in length and features a hot-dipped or electro-galvanized coating that resists rust and corrosion in exposed or high-moisture applications. Common nails are smooth-shank, flat-head fasteners designed for general framing, rough carpentry, and structural wood-to-wood connections. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for this size when driving through standard dimensional lumber. The 50-pound box format is suited to high-volume job sites and contractors who load pneumatic or hand-nail work in quantity.

The 461586 is used in residential and light commercial framing, sheathing, blocking, and general rough carpentry where a 6D common nail is specified. At 2 inches, this nail size is commonly called out in prescriptive framing schedules for toe-nailing, joist-hanger backup nailing, and similar connections in wood-frame construction. The galvanized finish makes it suitable for pressure-treated lumber applications and exterior framing where code requires corrosion-resistant fasteners.

Key Features

• 6D designation — 2-inch length standard for a wide range of framing and rough carpentry tasks
• Galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior and pressure-treated lumber use
• Common nail profile: flat head and smooth shank for general structural nailing
• Sold in a 50-pound box for high-volume production framing and job-site efficiency
• Single-box unit packaging simplifies ordering and inventory tracking

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose 6D common nail suitable for use in standard wood-frame construction and rough carpentry applications where a 2-inch galvanized common fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and framers using a framing hammer or pneumatic nailer rated for the appropriate nail shank diameter and length. Always verify that the galvanized coating grade meets local building code requirements for the specific application, particularly when fastening pressure-treated lumber. Follow IRC or applicable local framing schedules for required nail counts and spacing at structural connections. Store bulk nails in a dry location to prevent clumping or surface oxidation prior to use.
