Hillman Fasteners 461696 Sinker Nails 16D 3.25 in 35 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461696 is a 35-pack of 16D vinyl coated sinker nails measuring 3.25 inches in length. The vinyl coating reduces driving friction, allowing the nail to seat faster with less effort compared to bright common nails. These sinkers are a staple fastener for wood framing and general construction carpentry. The 16D designation indicates a standard framing-weight nail appropriate for structural wood-to-wood connections. Licensed contractors and experienced carpenters reach for this size and style when speed and holding strength both matter on the job.

These vinyl coated sinker nails are suited for residential and light commercial wood framing applications, including wall framing, floor joist assembly, and structural sheathing attachment. The 16D size is a recognized standard in platform-frame construction and is commonly called out in framing specifications. Each box contains 35 nails, making it a practical jobsite quantity for spot repairs, small framing tasks, or supplemental stock alongside bulk fastener supplies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors using a framing hammer or pneumatic framing nailer capable of accepting 16D sinker nails. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC framing nailing schedules, for required nail spacing and quantity at structural connections. Inspect nails prior to use and discard any that are bent or show coating damage. Do not overdrive nails in structural applications, as overdriving can reduce holding capacity.
