Hillman Fasteners 48412 Deck Plus Tan Ceramic Screws

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48412 is a 5-pound box of Deck Plus Tan Ceramic Exterior Screws sized 1-5/8 inches by No. 8, engineered for outdoor structural fastening applications. These screws feature a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most composite and wood decking applications. The coarse, serrated thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance and reduces surface splitting. The tan ceramic coating is rated for 1500 hours of salt spray resistance, making these fasteners suitable for coastal and high-moisture environments where corrosion is a primary concern. Licensed contractors and deck builders are the primary installers.

These screws are intended for exterior wood and composite deck construction, fencing, and structural framing where a color-matched, corrosion-resistant fastener is required. The tan finish is designed to blend with common pressure-treated and natural wood tones. The self-drilling point suits direct installation into dimensional lumber without pilot holes in most field conditions. Each box contains 5 pounds of fasteners and is sold in a case pack of 4 boxes.

Key Features

• Tan ceramic coating rated for 1500-hour salt spray resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style exterior fastener for use with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and compatible composite decking materials in residential and light commercial outdoor construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck contractors, and general contractors following applicable local building codes. Use a star-bit driver at the appropriate torque setting to avoid overdriving and countersinking past the fastener head. Drive perpendicular to the work surface for maximum holding strength. When working near ledger boards or structural connections, verify local code requirements for fastener spacing and shear load ratings.
