Hillman Fasteners 461595 Deck Nail 3.5in 16D 50lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461595 is a 16D galvanized spiral shank deck nail sold in a 50-pound box. The spiral shank profile mechanically locks into wood fibers as the nail is driven, creating withdrawal resistance that smooth-shank nails cannot match. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion in outdoor and treated-lumber environments. At 3.5 inches in length, this is a standard 16D framing-weight nail suited to structural deck assembly. Carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors install these by hand-nailing or with a compatible framing nailer where wire collation is not required.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial deck framing, ledger board attachment, and general exterior wood construction. The spiral shank makes it a preferred choice when fastening pressure-treated lumber, where the ACQ or CA treatment chemistry accelerates corrosion in uncoated fasteners and where pull-through resistance is a code or engineer requirement. The 50-pound bulk box suits production framing crews running high-volume deck projects.

Key Features

• Spiral shank profile increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails
• Galvanized coating for corrosion resistance in outdoor and treated-lumber applications
• 3.5 inches length, 16D penny weight for structural deck framing
• 50-pound bulk box reduces restocking interruptions on large jobs
• Compatible with hand-nailing and select framing nailer applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with pressure-treated and standard dimensional lumber in exterior deck framing and general outdoor wood construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or deck builders following local building codes and IRC deck construction guidelines. Disconnect or de-energize any adjacent electrical systems before working in enclosed or service-area framing bays. When fastening ACQ or CA pressure-treated lumber, confirm that the galvanized coating meets the corrosion-resistance requirements specified by the lumber manufacturer and applicable code. Wear appropriate eye protection when hand-nailing or operating a pneumatic nailer.
