Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461574 is a 4-inch, 20D bright common nail sold in a 50-pound box. Common nails of this size are a standard fastener for structural framing, formwork, and general rough carpentry. The bright finish indicates no coating or galvanizing, making this nail suited for interior or dry-environment applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement. At 4 inches in length and 20D (penny) designation, these nails provide deep penetration and strong holding power in dimensional lumber. This box format is practical for high-volume framing jobs where bulk supply reduces downtime.

These nails are used in residential and light commercial construction framing, wood subfloor installation, concrete formwork, and general structural carpentry. The 20D common nail is a widely recognized size in platform framing and is compatible with hand nailing as well as pneumatic nail guns designed for full round-head common nails. Carpenters, framers, and general contractors working on new construction or renovation projects are the primary installers of this fastener.

Installation Notes

Common nails of this size are typically installed by licensed carpenters or framers following local building code requirements for structural fastening. When using with pneumatic tools, verify that the nailer is rated for full round-head common nails at 4-inch length before loading. Always wear appropriate eye protection when hand-driving or power-driving large common nails. Follow applicable building code schedules for nail spacing and quantity in structural connections.
