Hillman Fasteners 48407 Deck Plus Green Ceramic Screw

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48407 is a green ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor structural fastening applications. Built to withstand harsh environmental exposure, this screw features a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most deck framing scenarios. The star drive head provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation. At 3.5 inches long with a number 10 diameter and coarse serrated thread profile, it delivers strong pull-through resistance in dimensional lumber and composite decking substrates. The 1500-hour salt spray rating indicates heavy-duty corrosion resistance suitable for pressure-treated and naturally durable wood species.

This screw is intended for exterior deck construction, pergolas, fencing, and other outdoor wood structures where moisture and weather exposure are ongoing concerns. The green ceramic coating is formulated to resist corrosion caused by the chemical preservatives used in ACQ and CA pressure-treated lumber. Packaged in a box quantity of 12 units, this SKU is suited for professional deck builders, general contractors, and skilled tradespeople who work in volume. The coarse serrated thread pattern improves holding power in softwood framing members commonly used in residential and light commercial deck assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpentry and general construction trades using a star-tip driver bit matched to the drive size. Always verify bit engagement before driving at full speed to avoid stripping. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when working with pressure-treated lumber. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing, quantity, and withdrawal load requirements on structural deck connections.
