Hillman Fasteners 48405 Deck Screw 3in X 10 Green Ceramic 5lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48405 is a green ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor wood fastening applications. Each screw measures 3 inches in length and is sized 10, featuring a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most softwood decking. The coarse, serrated thread pattern drives fast and resists backing out under load. The green ceramic coating is rated for 1500 hours of salt spray resistance, making these screws suitable for pressure-treated lumber and other treated wood products. This 5-pound box contains multiple screws and is sold in a case pack of 4 boxes.

These screws are used in residential and light commercial deck construction, fence installation, and general exterior wood framing. The star drive recess reduces cam-out and is the preferred drive style for professional deck installers working with power drivers. They are well suited for use with pressure-treated, cedar, redwood, and composite-compatible decking applications where corrosion resistance is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and general contractors using a star drive bit and a standard power drill or impact driver. Confirm the correct drive bit size before driving to avoid stripping the recess. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth requirements when constructing decks or exterior structures. Use appropriate PPE including eye protection when driving self-drilling fasteners.
