FAQs

What is the primary use for these clout nails?

These nails are primarily used for construction and roofing applications, such as securing roofing felt, shingles, and general building materials where a strong, rust-resistant fastener is needed.

Are these nails suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, due to their galvanized steel construction, they offer excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making them suitable for outdoor applications.

How are these nails sold?

These nails are sold by weight, offering flexibility for users to purchase the quantity they need for their specific project.

What tools are needed to use these nails?

They can be used with standard tools like a claw hammer. If using a pneumatic nailer, ensure it's compatible with the 2.65mm diameter and 20mm length.

Can I use these nails for structural load-bearing applications?

While strong and durable, these nails are typically best suited for non-structural fastening of lighter materials. For heavy structural loads, consult engineering specifications for appropriate fasteners.

What does 'Galv' mean in the product name?

'Galv' is short for galvanized, indicating the nails are coated with a layer of zinc to protect against rust and corrosion.

What are the exact dimensions of these nails?

The dimensions are 20mm in length and 2.65mm in diameter.

Troubleshooting

Nail bending during insertion

Ensure you are using a straight, solid strike with your hammer or that your nail gun is set to the correct pressure. Check that the material being fastened into is not too hard or dense for the nail size. Consider pre-drilling a pilot hole for very hard woods.

Nails not holding securely

Verify that the nail length is sufficient to penetrate adequately into the base material. Ensure the base material is solid and not rotten or compromised. If fastening into very soft wood, consider a slightly thicker gauge nail if available.

Rust spots appearing on nails

This may indicate the galvanized coating has been compromised during handling or application. For critical applications, ensure the nails are applied carefully and stored correctly. For minor aesthetic concerns, consider painting over the affected area after ensuring the surface is clean and dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rust and corrosion resistance due to galvanization.
  • Provides strong and durable fastening for construction projects.
  • Versatile size suitable for multiple applications like roofing and fencing.
  • Convenient to purchase by weight for project flexibility.
  • Simple to use with common tools.

Cons

  • Specific size may not be suitable for all fastening needs.
  • Requires appropriate tools for effective driving.
  • Galvanized coating can wear down with excessive abrasion.
  • Weight-based sales might lead to over or under-purchasing if not estimated carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No specific setup is required for Unifix Clout Nails. Ensure you have the appropriate hammering tool, such as a claw hammer or a framing nailer with the correct setting for the nail size.

Compatibility: These nails are compatible with most standard construction materials including wood, roofing felt, shingles, and thin metal sheeting. Always ensure the nail length is appropriate for the thickness of the materials being joined. For example, a 20mm nail is best suited for thin materials or when fastening into a solid base without excessive depth.

Care: Store nails in a dry environment to maintain the integrity of the galvanization. Avoid prolonged exposure to highly acidic or corrosive substances, which can degrade the protective coating over time. Clean any tools used with these nails after use to prevent residue buildup.
