Hillman Fasteners 48383 Fasntite Gray Ceramic Exterior Screws

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48383 is a 5-pound box of Fasntite gray ceramic exterior screws designed for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Each screw measures 1-5/8 inches in length and is sized at number 8 with a coarse thread pitch. The sharp point tip allows for fast starts without pre-drilling in many wood substrates. The gray ceramic coating delivers corrosion resistance rated to 1,000 hours of salt spray testing, making these screws well-suited for coastal and high-moisture environments. Carpenters, deck builders, siding contractors, and general construction tradespeople typically install these fasteners on exterior wood framing, decking, and trim work.

These screws are intended for exterior wood-to-wood fastening in residential and light commercial construction. Common applications include deck framing, fence assembly, exterior sheathing, and trim attachment. The coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in dimensional lumber and engineered wood products. The Phillips drive head is compatible with standard power drivers and impact drivers commonly used on job sites. Each box contains a 5-pound quantity, sized to meet the demands of production framing and finish carpentry crews.

Compatibility

Designed for exterior wood-to-wood fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction where coarse-thread, corrosion-resistant screws are required.

Installation Notes

These screws are installed by carpenters, framing crews, and general contractors using standard power drivers or impact drivers set to appropriate torque to avoid overdriving and stripping the Phillips head. Always follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and penetration depth on structural applications. Inspect the ceramic coating on each screw before use and discard any fasteners showing visible coating damage, as compromised coating reduces corrosion resistance. Store unused screws in a dry location to preserve coating integrity prior to installation.
