Hillman Fasteners 48400 Deck Plus Green Ceramic Screws 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48400 is a 5-pound box of Deck Plus green ceramic exterior screws engineered for outdoor decking applications where corrosion resistance and holding strength are critical. These No. 8 x 2-inch screws feature a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most standard lumber, and a coarse, serrated thread profile that bites aggressively into wood for a secure hold. The green ceramic coating is rated to withstand 1500 hours of salt spray testing, making these fasteners well-suited for pressure-treated lumber and other chemically treated wood products. Licensed contractors and deck builders are the primary installers of this product.

These screws are designed for exterior wood decking installations, including residential deck framing and decking board attachment. The star drive head reduces cam-out and improves driver engagement, which speeds up production on large deck projects. The self-drilling cut point is compatible with standard dimensional lumber and composite backing materials. Each box contains 5 pounds of No. 8 x 2-inch screws. A package quantity of 4 boxes per case is available for larger job requirements. The lifetime warranty supports long-term performance claims in exterior environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck contractors, or licensed general contractors following applicable local building codes. No pre-drilling is required in most standard lumber, but pilot holes are recommended when fastening near board ends to prevent splitting. Always use a properly sized star drive bit to avoid stripping the drive recess. Confirm fastener compatibility with the specific preservative treatment of any pressure-treated lumber used on the job site.
