Hillman Fasteners 461590 40D Galvanized Common Nail 5in 50lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461590 is a 40D galvanized common nail measuring 5 inches in length, sold in a 50-pound box. Designed for heavy-duty structural fastening, this nail is manufactured with a galvanized finish that resists corrosion, making it suitable for pressure-treated lumber, exterior framing, and other applications where moisture exposure is a concern. The 40-penny (40D) designation indicates a large-diameter, heavy shank appropriate for high-load connections. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors reach for this size when nailing large dimensional lumber or timber-frame assemblies where holding power and shear strength matter.

This nail is commonly used in residential and light commercial construction for structural framing, ledger boards, headers, and beam connections. The 50-pound bulk box format suits job-site use with pneumatic framing nailers that accept coil or strip-style spikes, as well as hand-nailing applications. The galvanized coating aligns with code requirements in many jurisdictions for fasteners used with treated lumber or in exterior and high-humidity environments.

Key Features

• 40D penny size at 5 inches length for heavy structural fastening

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or framers following local building codes and IRC or IBC fastener schedule requirements. Always verify the galvanization grade meets local code requirements for the specific pressure-treated lumber chemical retention level in use. When hand-nailing, use an appropriately weighted framing hammer; when driving with pneumatic equipment, confirm the tool is rated for the nail length and shank diameter. Wear appropriate eye protection and work gloves during nailing operations.
