Hillman Fasteners 47986 Exterior Timber Tite Screws 10 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 47986 is a 10-pack of Tite Black Ceramic Exterior Timber Tite Screws engineered for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Each screw measures 2.5 inches in length by 0.25 inches in diameter and features a Type 17 point, hex drive head, and a coarse serrated thread pattern. The black ceramic coating provides corrosion resistance rated to 500 hours of salt spray exposure, making these screws suitable for treated lumber, decking, fencing, and other exterior structural connections. Licensed contractors, deck builders, and general construction trades are the primary installers.

These screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood fastening applications where corrosion resistance and holding strength are critical. The Type 17 cutting point reduces splitting in hardwoods and dense treated lumber. The hex drive head allows for high-torque power tool installation. Typical installations include deck framing, timber framing, pergola construction, fence posts, and other outdoor wood assemblies exposed to weather and moisture.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by general contractors, deck builders, or experienced DIYers using a hex-drive bit and power driver or impact driver. Pre-drilling a pilot hole is recommended in dense hardwoods or near board ends to prevent splitting. Always confirm that fastener material compatibility meets local building code requirements when used with pressure-treated lumber containing corrosive preservatives. Follow applicable building codes for structural fastener spacing and embedment depth.
