Hillman Fasteners 48607 Bronze Exterior Screws 1.75in X 8

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 48607 is a 5-pound box of Power Pro Bronze Ceramic exterior screws sized 1.75 inches by number 8. These screws feature a self-drilling point that eliminates the need for pre-drilling in most wood applications. The star drive recess provides high torque transfer and reduces bit cam-out. A knurled shank section is engineered to reduce splitting in wood substrates. The bronze ceramic coating delivers corrosion resistance rated to 2000 hours of salt spray testing, making these fasteners well suited for demanding outdoor environments. Licensed contractors, deck builders, and exterior finish carpenters are the primary installers of this product.

These screws are designed for exterior wood applications including decking, fencing, trim, and general outdoor construction where long-term corrosion resistance is required. The Borefast thread geometry pulls material tight and minimizes surface mushrooming. The 1.75-inch length and number 8 diameter make them appropriate for fastening decking boards, exterior sheathing, and similar medium-thickness wood members. They are sold in a 5-pound box and packaged four boxes per case.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors using a variable-speed drill or impact driver fitted with a star drive bit. Power down all powered equipment before handling fasteners near electrical components. Follow local building codes for fastener spacing and edge distances in structural applications. Avoid overtorquing, which can strip the recess or countersink the head beyond the intended depth.
