Hillman Fasteners 48396 Deck Plus Green Ceramic Screws 12pk

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48396 is a box of 12 green ceramic-coated exterior deck screws designed for outdoor fastening applications in treated lumber, composite decking, and other exposed wood assemblies. Each screw measures 1.25 inches in length and is sized 8, featuring a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most applications. The star drive head provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation. The green ceramic coating is engineered to resist corrosion, rated to withstand 1500 hours of salt spray testing. A lifetime warranty backs the coating and structural performance of each fastener.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial deck construction, fence installation, and general exterior wood fastening. The coarse, serrated thread pattern pulls material tight and resists backing out over time, making them a reliable choice for pressure-treated lumber and exterior framing work. Licensed carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors typically specify ceramic-coated screws like the 48396 for code-compliant exterior applications where corrosion resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, deck builders, or general contractors using a power drill or impact driver fitted with a star drive bit. Always confirm fastener compatibility with the decking material manufacturer before installation, particularly with composite or PVC decking products. Follow local building codes and IRC or IBC requirements for fastener spacing and penetration depth in structural deck assemblies. Wear appropriate eye protection when driving self-drilling fasteners at high speed.
