Coil Nails Material:

Down time from reloading nailers can be kept to a minimum with nails collated into a coil. Designed for high-volume applications, coil collated roofing and siding nails are available in both wire weld and plastic band collation. Plastic sheet coil nails are used for both 0-degree and 15-degree nails. Because the plastic band exits the nailer in a single piece that is easy to dispose of, messy job sites are eliminated. KYA offers plastic sheet coil nails in lengths from 1-1/2 to 3 inches in both steel and stainless steel.

Wire weld collation is available for 15-degree coil nails. Lengths range from 1-1/2 to 2-3/16 inches and are available in steel as well as 304 and 316 stainless steel, should you require a rust resistant option. Roofing and siding nails feature a round head and either smooth or ring shank styles. Finish styles include electrogalvanized or hot dip galvanized.

Coil Nails Surface treatment: 

Bright Finish Coil Nails

Bright fasteners have no coating to protect the steel and are susceptible to corrosion if exposed to high humidity or water. They are not recommended for exterior use or in treated lumber, and only for interior applications where no corrosion protection is needed. Bright fasteners are often used for interior framing, trim and finish applications.
 

Hot Dip Galvanized Coil Nails

Hot dip galvanized fasteners are coated with a layer of Zinc to help protect the steel from corroding. Although hot dip galvanized fasteners will corrode over time as the coating wears, they are generally good for the lifetime of the application. Hot dip galvanized fasteners are generally used for outdoor applications where the fastener is exposed to daily weather conditions such as rain and snow. Areas near the coasts where the salt content in rain water is much higher, should consider Stainless Steel fasteners as salt accelerates the deterioration of the galvanization and will accelerate corrosion. 
 

Electro Galvanized Coil Nails

Electro Galvanized fasteners have a very thin layer of Zinc that offers some corrosion protection. They are generally used in areas where minimal corrosion protection is needed such as bathrooms, kitchens and other areas that are susceptible to some water or humidity. Roofing nails are electro galvanized because they are generally replaced before the fastener begins to wear and are not exposed to harsh weather conditions if installed properly. Areas near the coasts where salt content in rain water is higher should consider a Hot Dip Galvanized or Stainless Steel fastener. 
 

Stainless Steel Coil Nails

Stainless steel fasteners offer the best corrosion protection available. The steel may oxidize or rust over time but it will never lose its strength from corrosion. Stainless Steel fasteners can be used for exterior or interior applications and generally come in 304 or 316 stainless steel. Coil Nails Shank:
 

Smooth Shank

Smooth shank nails are the most common and are often used for framing and general construction applications. They offer enough holding power for most everyday use.

 

Ring Shank

Ring shank nails offer superior holding power over smooth shank nails because the wood fills in the crevasse of the rings and also provide friction to help prevent the nail from backing out over time. A ring shank nail is often used in softer types of wood where splitting is not an issue.

 

Screw Shank

A screw shank nail is generally used in hard woods to prevent the wood from splitting while the fastener is being driven. The fastener spins while being driven (like a screw) which creates a tight groove that makes the fastener less likely to back out.

 

Annular Thread Shank

Annular thread is very similar to a ring shank except the rings are externally beveled which presses against the wood or sheet rock to prevent the fastener from backing out.
