Hillman Fasteners 48406 Deck Screws 3in X No10 Green Ceramic 25lb

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48406 is a 25-pound bulk box of No. 10 x 3-inch green ceramic-coated exterior deck screws designed for outdoor structural and decking applications. The green ceramic coating provides corrosion resistance rated to 1,500 hours of salt spray testing, making these screws appropriate for treated lumber, composite decking, and other exterior wood assemblies. Each screw features a flat head profile with a star (Torx-style) drive, a coarse serrated thread, and a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most deck framing and decking scenarios. Licensed contractors and experienced DIYers handling volume deck builds will benefit from the 25-pound quantity.

These screws are suited for residential and light commercial deck construction, including decking board installation, ledger attachment, and framing connections where an exterior-rated fastener is required. The self-drilling point speeds installation on standard dimensional lumber. The coarse serrated thread pattern locks into wood fiber and resists back-out over time. The green ceramic finish blends with pressure-treated lumber commonly used in outdoor structures. They are sold as a single box containing 25 pounds of fasteners.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors using a power driver fitted with the appropriate star drive bit. Confirm bit size matches the star recess to avoid stripping. Always follow local building codes regarding fastener spacing, penetration depth, and corrosion-resistance requirements for the lumber treatment class being used. Do not use an undersized driver bit or excessive torque settings that could shear the screw head.
