Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does Service Class 3 mean?

Service Class 3 environments are those where the moisture content of the timber is expected to exceed 20%, such as outdoor or exposed building applications.

Are these nails compatible with my 20-degree framing nailer?

No. These nails require a 34-degree nailer to function correctly; using them in a different angle tool will cause constant jamming.

Can I use these for pressure-treated lumber?

Yes, the hot-dipped galvanised coating is suitable for use with pressure-treated timber, provided the chemical treatment is compatible with galvanised steel.

Is the D-head design accepted by local building codes?

Generally yes, as they are widely used in structural framing. Always check your local building regulations for specific fastening requirements.

How many nails are in a box?

Each box contains 2,200 nails.

What is the primary advantage of paper collation?

Paper collation is cleaner than plastic tape, leaving no residue or debris behind after the nail is driven into the timber.

Troubleshooting

Nails jamming in the magazine

Ensure the nails are loaded straight and the magazine angle matches the 34-degree requirement. Check for torn paper collation strips.

Nail failing to sink flush

Adjust the depth-of-drive setting on your pneumatic or cordless nailer, or check that your compressor's air pressure is set within the manufacturer's recommended range.

Splitting of timber

Ensure the nailer is held at a 90-degree angle to the surface; avoid toe-nailing at too sharp an angle if the timber is prone to splitting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to corrosion due to hot-dipped galvanisation
  • D-head design allows for high-density fastening
  • Optimized for high-speed automatic driving
  • Prevents timber splitting during heavy-duty installation

Cons

  • Requires specific 34-degree angle nailer compatibility
  • Heavier than standard electro-galvanised alternatives
  • Limited to specific framing applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure your framing nailer is calibrated for 34-degree paper collated nails. Improper alignment can lead to feed errors or damaged collations. Always check the nailer's depth adjustment settings to avoid over-driving the nail into soft timber. While the galvanised coating offers excellent protection, store these nails in a dry, covered area to maintain the integrity of the paper strips, as moisture can weaken the collation and cause jamming in the nailer magazine.
