Hillman Fasteners 48387 Exterior Screw 2.5in X 10 Gray Ceramic 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48387 is a gray ceramic-coated exterior wood screw designed for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Measuring 2.5 inches in length with a number 10 shank diameter, this fastener features a sharp point tip and coarse Phillips drive thread pattern. The Fasntite gray ceramic coating provides a corrosion-resistance rating of 1000 hours of salt spray testing, making it a dependable choice for exterior structural and trim work exposed to weather. Each box contains 5 pounds of screws and is sold in a case pack of 4 boxes. Licensed contractors, carpenters, and general tradespeople rely on this screw for above-grade wood-to-wood and wood-to-framing connections in coastal and high-moisture environments.

The 48387 is suited for residential and light commercial exterior construction, including deck framing, fence installation, siding attachment, and pressure-treated lumber applications where corrosion resistance is a code or specification requirement. The 10-year performance rating supports use in projects where fastener longevity is a documented deliverable. The coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in softwood substrates commonly found in outdoor structural assemblies.

Key Features

• Gray ceramic Fasntite coating rated to 1000 hours of salt spray exposure

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose exterior wood fastener suitable for use in wood-to-wood and wood-to-framing connections in residential and light commercial construction where a number 10 diameter coarse-thread exterior screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, general contractors, and finish tradespeople using a standard Phillips-head drill driver or impact driver set to appropriate clutch torque to avoid overdriving. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, confirm that the ceramic coating is rated compatible with the preservative treatment used, as some chemical treatments accelerate fastener corrosion. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing, edge distance, and penetration depth in structural assemblies. Store unused screws in a dry environment to preserve coating integrity prior to installation.
