Hillman Fasteners 48382 Gray Ceramic Exterior Screws 1-5/8x8

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48382 is a box of 12 Fasntite gray ceramic exterior screws sized at 1-5/8 inches by number 8. These fasteners feature a sharp point Phillips drive with coarse threading, designed for fast, reliable penetration in exterior wood and composite applications. The gray ceramic coating is engineered to withstand 1000 hours of salt spray testing, providing corrosion resistance suited to coastal and high-moisture environments. A 10-year warranty backs the coating performance. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and experienced DIYers reach for this screw when exterior durability and long-term finish compatibility are required.

These screws are appropriate for exterior decking, fencing, trim, and structural framing applications where moisture and weather exposure demand a corrosion-resistant fastener. The coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in softwood, hardwood, and common composite lumber. The sharp point eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most standard lumber dimensions. Each box contains 12 screws, sold as a single box unit.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, general contractors, or qualified tradespeople working on exterior wood assemblies. Power down any adjacent electrical systems before fastening near panels or conduit runs. Use a Phillips bit sized to the driver recess to avoid cam-out and coating damage at the head. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and corrosion-resistance requirements in your jurisdiction.
