Product Description
Simpson Strong-Drive SCNR Ring-Shank Connector Nail - 16d, 0.162" x 3-1/2", Type 316 Stainless Steel, 1 lb (SSA16D)
The Simpson Strong-Drive SCNR Ring-Shank Connector Nail (SSA16D) is engineered specifically for achieving full load values in stainless steel structural connectors. Constructed from Type 316 stainless steel and featuring an annular ring shank, this 16d nail delivers exceptional withdrawal resistance and long-term corrosion protection in demanding environments. At 3-1/2 inches in length with a 0.162-inch shank diameter, it is purpose-built to pair with Simpson Strong-Tie stainless steel connectors - ensuring code-compliant, high-performance connections. Each 1 lb. package contains approximately 44 nails, making it ideal for targeted repairs or smaller connector installations. Made in the United States, the SSA16D meets ASTM F1667 standards for metal hardware nails.
Key Features
- Type 316 Stainless Steel Construction: Specifically formulated for use with stainless steel connectors, providing superior corrosion resistance in harsh or coastal environments.
- Annular Ring Shank: The ring-shank design dramatically increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, helping connectors achieve their full rated load values.
- Full Round Head with Smooth Head Pattern: The 0.34-inch full round head ensures maximum bearing surface and consistent seating against connector flanges.
- Head ID Stamp: Each nail features a head identification stamp for quick, easy identification during inspection and installation.
- ASTM F1667 Compliant: Meets the standard specification for driven fasteners - nails, spikes, and staples - for metal hardware applications.
- Designed for Simpson Strong-Tie Connectors: Optimized to deliver full connector load capacity when used with compatible Simpson Strong-Tie hardware.
- Made in the United States: Domestically manufactured for consistent quality and traceability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions and specifications of the SSA16D nail?
- The SSA16D is a 16d nail measuring 3-1/2 inches in length with a 0.162-inch shank diameter and a 0.34-inch full round head. It features an annular ring shank and meets ASTM F1667 standards for metal hardware nails.
- Why must Type 316 stainless steel nails be used with stainless steel connectors?
- Using Type 316 stainless steel nails with stainless steel connectors ensures the connection achieves its full rated load values and maintains long-term corrosion resistance. Pairing dissimilar metals can compromise both performance and corrosion protection, particularly in harsh or coastal environments where superior durability is required.
- How does the ring-shank design improve performance compared to smooth-shank nails?
- The annular ring shank dramatically increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, which helps structural connectors achieve their full rated load values. This makes the SSA16D well-suited for demanding structural applications where holding power is critical.
- How many nails are included in a 1 lb. package of SSA16D?
- Each 1 lb. package contains approximately 44 nails, making it a practical option for targeted repairs or smaller connector installations where a full bulk quantity is not needed.
