Product Description
The Simpson 12d x 3-1/4 in. 31 deg. - 34 deg. Paper Tape Clipped Head Ring-Shank Nail in Type 304 Stainless Steel is a purpose-built collated framing nail designed for general framing applications where corrosion resistance and holding strength are both required. Manufactured by Simpson, this 10-gauge nail pairs an annular ring shank with Type 304 stainless steel construction to deliver reliable withdrawal resistance in demanding structural environments. Paper-tape collation at a 31 deg. - 34 deg. angle ensures smooth feeding through many major manufacturers' pneumatic framing nailers, helping reduce driving force and increase installation speed on the job.
Key Features
- Smooth D-shaped clipped head - provides clean, consistent driving performance and sits flush after installation for a neat finish in framing work
- Annular ring shank - increases withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank, delivering a secure and lasting attachment in structural framing connections
- Type 304 stainless steel material and finish - provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these nails well suited for projects where moisture exposure or corrosive conditions are a concern
- Paper-tape collation at 31 deg. - 34 deg. - compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic framing nailers, reducing driving force and improving installation speed
- Diamond point tip - promotes accurate nail placement and consistent penetration during high-volume framing tasks
- 1,000-count packaging - keeps the job site stocked for extended framing runs without frequent reloading interruptions
Why This Product
- Built for corrosive environments - Type 304 stainless steel construction provides high-level corrosion resistance, making these nails a dependable choice for framing projects where standard steel fasteners may degrade over time
- Superior holding power for structural work - the annular ring shank is specifically designed to increase withdrawal resistance, giving framing connections the long-term strength and security that smooth-shank nails cannot match
- Broad pneumatic tool compatibility - the 31 deg. - 34 deg. paper-tape collation angle works with many major manufacturers' pneumatic nailers, so crews can integrate these nails into existing tool setups without added complexity
- Engineered by a trusted fastener brand - Simpson brings extensive fastener expertise to this nail, backing it with a design that meets the requirements of general framing applications where both corrosion resistance and withdrawal strength matter
