FAQs

Are these nails suitable for pressure-treated timber?

Yes, the hot dip galvanised finish is generally suitable for most pressure-treated lumber, though always check local building codes for specific coating requirements.

Can I use these for general wood-to-wood framing?

No, these are specifically designed for fixing metal connectors; standard framing nails should be used for wood-to-wood connections.

What does Service Class 3 mean?

It indicates the nails are intended for use in environments where the wood moisture content is higher than 20% or where they are exposed to the weather.

Are these nails collated for a specific tool?

These are standard collated nails compatible with most professional-grade positive placement nailers.

How many nails come in a pack?

Each pack contains 2200 individual nails.

Troubleshooting

Nails jamming in the nailer magazine

Verify that the collation angle matches your tool specifications and clear any debris from the tool nose.

Nail failing to sit flush with the metal plate

Adjust the tool depth-of-drive setting or check that the nailer tip is centered properly in the connector hole.

Nails bending during installation

Ensure the nailer is held perpendicular to the surface and check that you are not hitting underlying knots or structural hardware.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent corrosion resistance for exterior structural use
  • Large quantity bulk packaging for high-volume efficiency
  • Engineered for high-shear strength in metal connector fixing
  • Compatible with industry-standard structural framing tools

Cons

  • Not suitable for fine woodworking or interior decorative applications
  • Requires a compatible pneumatic nailer for optimal speed
  • Bulk packaging may be cumbersome for small-scale DIY tasks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For best results, use these nails with a dedicated positive placement nailer designed to locate the nail tip directly into the pre-punched holes of metal connectors. Ensure your nailer is set to the correct operating pressure to prevent over-driving, which can damage the metal connector or the timber substrate. While these nails are highly durable, store them in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the galvanised coating before use. Always wear appropriate eye and hearing protection when operating pneumatic fastening equipment.
