Hillman Fasteners 48381 Exterior Wood Screw 1.25in X 8 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48381 is a gray ceramic-coated exterior screw designed for outdoor fastening applications where corrosion resistance is critical. This 1.25-inch by number 8 sharp-point Phillips screw features a coarse thread pattern and a Fasntite gray ceramic finish that has been tested to withstand 1000 hours of salt spray exposure. Sold in a 5-pound box, the 48381 is suited for professional contractors, deck builders, and exterior trim installers who need a high-cycle corrosion-resistant fastener rated for long-term outdoor exposure.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial exterior construction, including deck framing, fence assembly, exterior trim, and siding applications. The coarse thread and sharp point allow for fast driving into dimensional lumber and engineered wood products without pre-drilling in most softwood applications. The 10-year warranty rating reflects its intended use in exposed outdoor environments where standard zinc screws would fail prematurely.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors using a standard Phillips-head power driver or drill. Always drive screws perpendicular to the work surface to ensure full thread engagement and flush seating. Avoid overdriving, which can break the ceramic coating and compromise corrosion protection at the fastener head. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth in structural or load-bearing assemblies.
