Hillman Fasteners 48416 Tan Ceramic Deck Screws 2.5in X10 5LB

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48416 is a 5-pound box of Deck Plus tan ceramic exterior screws designed for outdoor decking and structural wood fastening applications. These screws measure 2.5 inches in length and are sized at number 10, featuring a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for a pilot hole in most applications. The coarse, serrated thread pattern provides strong pull-through resistance in treated lumber, hardwoods, and composite substrates. A tan ceramic coating delivers corrosion resistance rated at 1500 hours of salt spray exposure, making these fasteners well suited for coastal and high-moisture environments. This product comes with a lifetime warranty.

These screws are intended for exterior deck construction, deck repair, and general outdoor wood fastening where long-term corrosion resistance is required. The tan ceramic finish blends with common pressure-treated and natural wood tones, reducing visual contrast at the fastener head. Licensed contractors, deck builders, and experienced DIYers working on residential or light commercial outdoor structures will find these appropriate for projects requiring a corrosion-resistant, code-compatible fastener. Each box contains 5 pounds of screws. This SKU is packaged as a box and sold in a pack quantity of 4 boxes per case.

Designed as an exterior-grade wood fastener suitable for pressure-treated lumber, hardwood decking, and comparable outdoor structural wood applications where a number 10 coarse-thread screw is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by deck contractors or carpenters using a star-drive bit and a variable-speed drill or impact driver. Set the clutch appropriately to avoid countersinking beyond the desired depth in softer wood species. Always verify local building codes and the deck ledger requirements under IRC or applicable residential construction standards before beginning. When working with pressure-treated lumber, use only fasteners rated for ground-contact chemical exposure, which this ceramic-coated screw is designed to address.
