Hillman Fasteners 48419 Tan Deck Screw 3in X 10 5lb Box

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48419 is a tan ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for fastening decking boards and outdoor wood structures. At 3 inches long in a number 10 diameter, this screw features a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most applications. The coarse, serrated thread pattern drives quickly and holds firmly in treated lumber and hardwood decking. The ceramic coating is rated to withstand 1500 hours of salt spray testing, making it suitable for coastal and high-moisture environments. Each box contains 5 pounds of screws and is sold in a package of 4 boxes. Installation requires a star-drive bit.

This screw is built for exterior wood decking projects including ground-level decks, elevated deck platforms, and dock construction where corrosion resistance is critical. The tan ceramic finish blends with common pressure-treated lumber tones and is well-suited for residential and light commercial deck builds. The self-drilling point reduces labor time on large fastening jobs. A licensed carpenter, general contractor, or experienced DIYer will find this fastener appropriate for applications where the deck is exposed to rain, humidity, or salt air year-round.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified carpenter or contractor following applicable local building codes for deck construction. Use the correct star-drive bit size to avoid stripping the drive recess. When fastening near board ends or edges in hardwoods, pre-drilling may still be recommended to prevent splitting. Always follow lumber manufacturer guidelines regarding fastener compatibility with treated wood chemistry.
