Hillman Fasteners 461694 Sinker Nail 8D 2.375 in 75 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461694 is a vinyl coated sinker nail sized at 8D (2.375 inches) and sold in a 75-count pack. The vinyl coating reduces driving friction, allowing the nail to seat faster and with less hammer effort than a standard bright common nail. These nails are suited for general framing, sheathing, and wood-to-wood fastening tasks where a reliable driven nail is required. The 8D penny designation corresponds to a standard framing nail length widely recognized in residential and light commercial construction. Weighing 2.82 pounds per box, the pack is sized for job-site portability.

These sinker nails are used in residential and light commercial framing applications, including wall framing, floor decking, and roof sheathing. The vinyl coating also acts as a mild adhesive once the nail is driven, improving holding power in dimensional lumber. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors typically keep 8D sinkers on hand as an everyday fastening consumable. The 75-count pack is appropriate for smaller repair jobs or as a supplemental supply alongside bulk boxes.

Installation Notes

These nails are driven by a standard framing hammer or pneumatic nailer compatible with 8D sinker nails. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC nailing schedules, for required fastener spacing and pattern on structural applications. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving nails manually or clearing nail gun jams. Store unused nails in a dry location to prevent rust that could affect holding performance.
