Hillman Fasteners 48413 Tan Deck Screw 2in No8 Box 12

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48413 is a tan ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor wood decking applications. It features a No. 8 diameter, a 2-inch length, and a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most softwood decking. The star drive head provides high torque transfer and reduces cam-out during installation. The ceramic coating is tested to 1500 hours of salt spray resistance, making this screw well-suited for coastal and high-moisture environments. It carries a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer. Licensed contractors and experienced DIYers install this fastener using a standard star-tip power driver bit.

This screw is used in residential and light commercial exterior decking projects, including pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and similar softwood deck boards. The coarse, serrated thread pulls boards tight to joists and resists loosening over time due to seasonal wood movement. The tan ceramic finish blends with common composite and natural wood deck tones. Each box contains 12 screws.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed with a star-tip driver bit matched to the screw head size to avoid stripping. Power down any adjacent electrical circuits before working on elevated deck structures near conduit or junction boxes. Drive screws flush with or slightly below the deck board surface without overdriving, as countersinking too deep can compromise holding strength and board integrity. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and deck framing requirements.
