Hillman Fasteners 461692 Galvanized Box Nails 2.5 in 8D 70 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461692 is a 70-count package of 2.5-inch, 8D galvanized box nails designed for general construction and exterior fastening applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance, making these nails suitable for use in treated lumber, decking, framing, and other outdoor or moisture-exposed assemblies. Box nails feature a thinner shank than common nails, reducing the risk of wood splitting during installation. The package weighs 2.86 pounds and contains 70 nails per box. These fasteners are a staple for carpenters, general contractors, and construction tradespeople working on residential and light commercial projects.

These galvanized box nails are used in exterior framing, sheathing, decking, fencing, and general carpentry where corrosion resistance is required. The 8D penny size and 2.5-inch length make them well suited for face-nailing dimensional lumber, attaching subflooring, and similar structural fastening tasks. They are appropriate for use with pressure-treated lumber in outdoor environments where standard bright nails would be susceptible to rust and premature failure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general construction tradespeople using a hammer or pneumatic nailer compatible with box nails. When working with pressure-treated lumber, verify that the galvanized coating meets applicable code requirements for the treatment type used. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth in structural applications.
