Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These nails are designed for use with a hammer. Ensure you have a suitable striking surface and a clear area to work. Position the nail perpendicular to the surface before striking to avoid bending.
Compatibility:
- Substrates: Primarily designed for use with softwoods, plasterboard, and roofing felt.
- Environments: Suitable for Service Class 2 environments, which include interior spaces, garages, sheds, and sheltered exterior areas. Avoid use in continuously wet or exposed exterior locations.
- Tools: Compatible with standard claw hammers. Avoid using with power nailers unless specifically designed for this type of fastener, as the large head may cause jamming.
Care:
- Store nails in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating.
- Inspect nails before use for any damage to the coating.
- After installation, ensure any exposed shank is not in direct contact with corrosive materials.
