The Simpson Strong-Drive SCNR Ring-Shank Connector Nail in 0.148 in. x 1 1/2 in. is engineered specifically for fastening Simpson Strong-Tie connectors where full rated load values and severe-level corrosion resistance are required. Built from Type 316 stainless steel with an annular-ring shank, these 10d collated connector nails are the correct match for stainless steel connectors installed in harsh, moisture-rich, or chemically aggressive environments. Paper-tape collation at a 33 deg. angle makes them compatible with pneumatic nailers, helping reduce driving force and speed up installation on the job site.

Key Features

• 33 deg. angle, paper-tape collation - compatible with pneumatic nailers designed for this configuration, reducing driving force and increasing installation speed compared to hand-nailing
• Annular-ring shank - significantly increases withdrawal resistance over smooth-shank nails, helping structural connectors meet specified load values under heavy or dynamic loads
• Head ID stamp - allows for quick, on-the-job identification of nail type, supporting accurate inspection and quality control
• Type 316 stainless steel construction - provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making these nails the correct choice when pairing with stainless steel connectors in demanding outdoor or coastal applications
• Full round head with diamond point - the full round head seats flush against connector flanges for secure bearing, while the diamond point drives cleanly through wood for consistent placement

Why This Product

• Engineered to achieve full load values in stainless steel connectors - Simpson designates these ring-shank connector nails as the best choice for reaching the rated load capacities of their stainless steel connectors, giving builders confidence that the fastener and connector system will perform as specified
• Type 316 stainless steel for the most demanding environments - unlike standard galvanized or lower-grade stainless fasteners, Type 316 stainless steel delivers severe-level corrosion resistance, making these nails well suited for coastal, marine, or chemically exposed job sites where long-term fastener integrity is critical
• Collated format saves time without sacrificing holding strength - the annular-ring shank provides superior withdrawal resistance while paper-tape collation at 33 deg. keeps the workflow moving with a pneumatic nailer, combining structural performance with practical installation efficiency
• Made in the United States by a trusted structural fastener brand - produced domestically by Simpson, these connector nails carry the quality standards expected for structural applications and are designed to work as a matched system with Simpson Strong-Tie connectors

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Type 316 stainless steel nails for my connector installation?

Type 316 stainless steel provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making these nails the correct choice when working with stainless steel connectors in harsh, moisture-rich, or chemically aggressive environments. Using matched stainless steel fasteners and connectors together helps ensure full rated load values are achieved.

What collation angle and collation type do these nails use?

These nails feature a 33 deg. collation angle with paper-tape collation. This configuration is compatible with a variety of pneumatic nailers designed for 33 deg. paper-tape collated connector nails.

What is the benefit of the annular-ring shank on these connector nails?

The annular-ring shank significantly increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails. This enhanced holding power is critical when installing structural connectors that must meet specific load values under dynamic or heavy-load conditions.

How can I identify these nails on the job site?

Each nail features a head ID stamp that allows for quick and easy identification during installation, helping ensure the correct fastener is being used in each application.
