Hillman Fasteners 48388 Fasntite Exterior Screw 25 Lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48388 is a bulk box of Fasntite Gray Ceramic exterior screws designed for demanding outdoor fastening applications. Each screw measures 2.5 inches in length with a 10 gauge diameter and features a sharp point for easy penetration into wood and composite substrates. The gray ceramic coating delivers corrosion resistance rated at 1000 hours of salt spray exposure, making these fasteners well suited for coastal and high-moisture environments. The Phillips drive, coarse thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in treated lumber and decking materials. This 25-pound box is sized for production crews and contractors working on large exterior projects.

These screws are intended for exterior wood construction applications including decking, fencing, framing, and general exterior carpentry. The coarse thread profile is optimized for softwood and pressure-treated lumber. The 1000-hour salt spray rating and 10-year corrosion warranty make them appropriate for use with ACQ and other chemically treated lumber where standard zinc-plated fasteners would degrade prematurely. Contractors, carpenters, and general construction trades are the primary installers for this product.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general construction trades using a Phillips bit driver or drill-driver. Pre-drilling may be required near board ends to prevent splitting, particularly in hardwoods or dense composites. Always follow local building codes regarding fastener type and spacing for decking and structural exterior applications. Store unused fasteners in a dry location to preserve the ceramic coating prior to installation.
