Hillman Fasteners 48380 Gray Ceramic Exterior Screws 12pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48380 is a box of 12 Fasntite gray ceramic-coated exterior screws designed for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Each screw measures 1.25 inches in length and is sized at number 8, featuring a sharp point Phillips drive with a coarse thread pattern. The ceramic coating provides corrosion resistance rated at 1,000 hours of salt spray testing, making these screws well-suited for exterior wood framing, decking, trim, and general construction work exposed to weather. A 10-year performance rating backs the coating durability.

These exterior screws are intended for residential and light commercial construction projects where long-term corrosion resistance is required. The coarse thread pattern pulls material together efficiently in wood-to-wood applications, and the sharp point eliminates the need for pilot holes in most softwood and treated lumber scenarios. Carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on exterior siding, fencing, trim, or framing applications will find these a reliable fastener choice.

Key Features

• Gray ceramic coating rated to 1,000 hours salt spray resistance
• 10-year corrosion performance rating
• Number 8 coarse thread with sharp point for fast installation without pre-drilling in softwood
• Phillips drive head for compatibility with standard drill drivers
• Sold in a box of 12 units

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style exterior fastener suitable for general wood-to-wood fastening in outdoor and weather-exposed construction applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters or general construction trades using a standard Phillips-head driver bit. Drive speed should be controlled to avoid overdriving and stripping the head or countersinking too deeply into the substrate. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, confirm that the ceramic coating is rated compatible with the preservative treatment used. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener requirements in structural or load-bearing applications.
