TIMco Clout Nail - 25 x 2.65mm - 1kg Bag - Silver

These nails are primarily designed for securing roofing felt, slate, and shingles, offering a stable and durable fix.

They offer medium rust protection due to their galvanised finish, making them suitable for rural and sheltered environments with occasional dampness.

No, the medium rust protection is generally not sufficient for highly corrosive coastal environments. Nails with higher corrosion resistance ratings are recommended for such areas.

A 1kg bag contains approximately 815 nails.

They conform to Eurocode 5 and Service Class 2 standards, ensuring reliability and durability in specified conditions.

While they can be used for some general fastening, their large head is specifically optimized for roofing applications. For general carpentry, other nail types might be more appropriate.

The shank diameter is 2.65mm.

Check nail gun pressure or manual hammering force. Ensure the material is not excessively hard or thick for the nail size. Remove obstructions from the tool's magazine.

Reduce nail gun pressure or hammering force. Ensure the correct nail collation type is used if using a nail gun. For manual hammering, use controlled, firm blows.

Ensure nails are stored in a dry location. If the application environment is more severe than Service Class 2, consider nails with a higher corrosion resistance rating.

Verify that the nail gun is firing straight. Ensure there are no hidden hard materials (like dense wood knots or metal flashing) in the impact zone. Check if the material being fastened is adequately supported.
