Description
The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122563 is a 17-gauge galvanized wire nail measuring 1 inch in length and sold in a 1-3/4 oz package. Galvanized wire nails resist corrosion and are suited for general fastening tasks in both interior and exterior applications where moisture exposure is a factor. The 17-gauge wire diameter keeps the shank thin enough to minimize splitting in finish materials and light woodwork. Trade professionals and experienced DIYers reach for this nail size when working with small trim pieces, screen molding, or lightweight board assemblies.
This nail is appropriate for residential and light commercial carpentry tasks. Common applications include attaching thin wood strips, securing screen frames, and fastening lightweight trim to wood substrates. The galvanized coating makes it a practical choice for exterior millwork or areas subject to humidity. Each package contains 1-3/4 oz of nails, making it a convenient small-quantity option for targeted repairs or finish work rather than high-volume production nailing.
Key Features
- 17-gauge wire shank reduces splitting risk in thin or delicate wood pieces
- 1 inch length suited for attaching lightweight trim and thin stock
- Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior or high-humidity environments
- Small 1-3/4 oz package quantity supports targeted repairs and small-scope finish work
- Sold as a unit of measure of each, with a package quantity of 6 per order
Compatibility
Designed as a general-purpose galvanized wire nail compatible with standard hand hammers and pneumatic brad or finish nailers that accept 17-gauge fasteners of 1 inch length where applicable.
Installation Notes
Wire nails of this gauge and length are typically driven by hand with a finish hammer or set with a nail set to avoid surface damage on visible trim. Verify tool compatibility before using in a pneumatic nailer, as gauge and collation requirements vary by tool. When fastening exterior trim, ensure substrate surfaces are properly primed or sealed to complement the corrosion-resistant coating. Follow applicable building codes for fastener spacing and minimum edge distances in structural or code-relevant assemblies.
