Hillman Fasteners 48402 Deck Screw 2.5in No.10 Green Ceramic 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48402 is a No. 10 by 2.5-inch green ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor wood fastening applications. The green ceramic coating passes a 1500-hour salt spray test, making it suitable for treated lumber and other corrosive environments. A self-drilling cut point eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most dimensional lumber, and the coarse serrated thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance. Each box contains 5 pounds of screws and carries a lifetime warranty. Licensed contractors, deck builders, and experienced DIYers install these fasteners using a star-drive bit.

These screws are intended for exterior deck construction, framing connections, and general outdoor wood fastening where corrosion resistance is a primary concern. The green ceramic coating is specifically formulated to resist the chemical reaction between ACQ and other pressure-treated lumber formulations and standard fastener coatings. The self-drilling point and coarse serrated thread make them well suited for softwood decking boards, treated joists, and similar structural wood members in residential and light commercial applications.

Key Features

• Green ceramic coating rated to 1500 hours of salt spray resistance for use with treated lumber
• Self-drilling cut point reduces the need for pre-drilling pilot holes
• Coarse serrated thread pattern for strong grip and pull-through resistance in wood
• Star drive recess for reduced cam-out during installation
• Lifetime warranty included
• 5-pound box quantity suitable for full deck projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fastener for exterior deck construction using pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and composite-friendly wood substructures where corrosion-resistant coated screws are required.

Installation Notes

Install using a star-drive bit matched to the drive recess size to prevent cam-out and fastener damage. Power down or disconnect any live tools before changing bits or clearing jams. Always follow local building codes regarding fastener spacing, penetration depth, and corrosion-resistance ratings for treated lumber. Do not substitute these screws in applications requiring hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel fasteners where local code mandates those specific materials.
