Description
The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461487 is a 10D galvanized spiral shank deck nail designed for exterior wood fastening applications. Each nail measures 3 inches in length and features a spiral shank profile that increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank fasteners. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for pressure-treated lumber and exterior decking. This product is sold in a 5-pound box and is a standard choice for carpenters, deck builders, and general contractors working on outdoor structural assemblies.
This nail is suited for residential and light commercial decking, fencing, and exterior framing projects where treated lumber is used. The 10D designation and 3-inch length make it a common specification for face-nailing deck boards to joists and for general exterior wood construction. Installers working with ACQ or CA treated lumber should confirm galvanization class meets local code requirements for the specific preservative treatment used.

Deck nails of this type are driven by hand hammer or pneumatic nailer where the nail diameter and shank profile are compatible with the tool’s magazine specifications confirm tool compatibility before use. Follow local building codes and applicable construction standards for fastener spacing, edge distance, and penetration depth into the supporting member. When working with ACQ or other copper-based preservative treatments, ensure the galvanization level meets code-required corrosion-resistance ratings.
