Simpson 5d x 1-3/4" Annular Ring Shank Roofing Nail in 316 Stainless Steel (10 Gauge) is a heavy-duty roofing fastener engineered by Simpson for demanding roofing applications where corrosion resistance and superior holding strength are non-negotiable. The annular ring shank design locks into wood substrates and plywood roof decks with exceptional withdrawal resistance, while the full round, smooth-faced head delivers broad bearing surface to firmly secure roofing materials without tearing through. Built from Type 316 stainless steel, this 10-gauge nail is built to handle harsh coastal, marine, and chemically aggressive environments where standard fasteners fail prematurely. Whether you are fastening shingles, roofing felt, or wood shakes, this roofing nail is a reliable choice for long-term performance in exposed outdoor conditions.

Key Features

• Type 316 Stainless Steel construction - delivers outstanding resistance to saltwater, moisture, and corrosive chemicals, making this nail well-suited for coastal and marine roofing projects where rust and oxidation would compromise structural integrity over time.
• Annular ring shank design - the ring-threaded shank bites into wood fibers and plywood decking to increase withdrawal resistance dramatically, keeping roofing materials firmly anchored even under wind uplift and thermal expansion cycles.
• Full round head with smooth face - the wide 0.375" diameter head spreads clamping force across a larger surface area, reducing the risk of roofing material pull-through while providing a flush, clean finish.
• 10 gauge, 0.131" shank diameter - the heavy-gauge wire provides greater shear strength compared to lighter gauges, giving this nail the structural capacity needed for secure roofing attachments in demanding conditions.
• 1-3/4" length (5d penny size) - optimized for standard roofing material thickness, delivering adequate penetration depth into roof decking for a reliable mechanical connection.
• Diamond point tip - the sharp diamond point drives cleanly through roofing materials and into decking with reduced splitting, improving both installation speed and fastener performance.
• Made in the United States - domestic manufacturing supports consistent quality control and reliable dimensional tolerances from nail to nail.

Why This Product

• Engineered for corrosive environments: Type 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides a higher tier of corrosion resistance than standard stainless alloys - making this nail the right fastener for roofing projects near saltwater, in high-humidity climates, or anywhere chemical exposure would degrade lesser materials.
• Holds tighter over time: The annular ring shank is specifically designed to resist withdrawal forces that smooth-shank nails cannot. In roofing applications subject to wind loads, thermal cycling, and seasonal movement, this means roofing materials stay secured without fastener backout.
• Reduces installation risk: The large 0.375" full round head and sharp diamond point work together to drive cleanly and hold securely - minimizing the chance of blow-through or splitting during installation, which is especially important when working with underlayments and thinner roofing materials.
• Built by a trusted name in structural fasteners: Simpson is a well-established manufacturer in the construction fastener industry, and this roofing nail reflects the same attention to dimensional accuracy and material standards found across their product line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Type 316 stainless steel a better choice for roofing nails than other materials?

Type 316 stainless steel contains added molybdenum compared to Type 304, giving it enhanced resistance to chloride corrosion, salt spray, and chemical exposure. For roofing applications - especially in coastal, marine, or high-humidity environments - this means the nails are far less likely to rust, stain, or fail over the service life of the roof.

What does the annular ring shank do differently from a smooth-shank roofing nail?

The annular ring shank features circumferential ridges along the shank that interlock with wood fibers as the nail is driven. This dramatically increases withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank, which is critical in roofing applications where wind uplift, thermal movement, and long-term loading can cause smooth nails to back out over time.

What types of roofing materials is this 5d x 1-3/4" nail appropriate for?

The 1-3/4" length and 10-gauge shank make this nail well-suited for fastening standard roofing felt, asphalt shingles, wood shakes, and similar roofing materials to plywood or solid wood roof decking. The large 0.375" full round head provides extra bearing surface to prevent pull-through in these materials.

How many of these nails are in a pound?

There are approximately 126 nails per pound for this 5d x 1-3/4" 10-gauge 316 stainless steel annular ring shank roofing nail. This figure can be used to estimate quantities needed for a given roofing project when purchasing by weight.
