Hillman Fasteners 48422 Tan Ceramic Deck Screw 3.5in X10

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48422 is a tan ceramic-coated exterior deck screw designed for outdoor wood fastening applications. At 3.5 inches in length and a 10 gauge diameter, this screw features a self-drilling cut point that eliminates the need for pilot holes in most applications. The star drive recess provides positive bit engagement and reduces cam-out during installation. The coarse, serrated thread pattern pulls material tight quickly. The ceramic coating is rated for 1500 hours of salt spray resistance, making it suitable for harsh exterior environments. Each box contains 5 pounds of screws and ships in a case pack of 4 boxes.

This screw is built for exterior deck construction and general outdoor wood fastening where corrosion resistance is a priority. It is appropriate for use with pressure-treated lumber, cedar, redwood, and composite decking materials in residential and light commercial settings. Licensed carpenters, deck contractors, and construction professionals will find the self-drilling point and star drive format reduce installation time on large decking projects. The tan ceramic finish blends with common deck board colorways to produce a cleaner finished appearance.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters and deck contractors using a variable-speed drill or impact driver fitted with the appropriate star drive bit. Drive screws perpendicular to the work surface and avoid overdriving, which can compromise the coating integrity and holding strength at the surface. When working with pressure-treated lumber, confirm the ceramic coating is rated for use with the specific preservative chemistry used in the lumber. Follow applicable local building codes for fastener spacing and penetration depth on structural deck assemblies.
