Simpson 1-1/2 in. x .092 Ring-Shank 15 deg. Wire Coil Siding Nail in Type 304 Stainless Steel by Simpson Strong-Tie is a professional-grade collated fastener engineered for fiber cement siding installation and wood siding applications. The 15 deg. wire-coil format pairs with a full round head and annular ring shank to deliver faster, more efficient fastening in pneumatic nailers - cutting down labor time while forming a grip that resists siding movement and board cupping over the life of the structure. Type 304 stainless steel construction provides durable corrosion resistance, making this nail a reliable long-term choice for exterior siding projects where standard steel fasteners may fail prematurely.

Key Features

• Type 304 Stainless Steel material - provides strong corrosion resistance for exterior and weather-exposed siding applications, preserving fastener integrity over years of service
• Annular ring shank (ring-shank) design - increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, keeping siding boards securely attached and reducing the cupping and warping common in wood and fiber cement panels
• 15 deg. wire-coil collation - compatible with many major pneumatic coil nailer brands, allowing faster loading and continuous driving to speed up installation
• Full round head with checkered pattern - delivers maximum holding surface area while the textured face blends with wood grain, reduces glare from sunlight, and accepts paint and other surface finishes
• Diamond point tip - enables easier, cleaner entry into fiber cement boards and wood siding materials, reducing splitting and driving effort
• 1-1/2 in. length, 13 gauge, 0.092 in. shank diameter - a slender profile that drives flush or countersunk without crushing surrounding material, ideal for thin-panel fiber cement siding
• Generous underhead fillet - allows the nail to be driven flush or countersunk without crushing or damaging the surrounding siding surface
• Made in the United States - manufactured domestically, supporting consistent quality control and reliable availability

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for fiber cement siding - the combination of a slender 13-gauge shank, diamond point, and annular ring shank addresses the specific demands of fiber cement board installation, where both clean penetration and strong withdrawal resistance matter most
• Stainless steel where it counts - Type 304 stainless steel resists the corrosion that can cause fastener bleed-through and staining on painted or finished siding surfaces, protecting the finished appearance of the installation
• Faster installation with collated wire-coil format - the 15 deg. wire-coil configuration works with many popular pneumatic nailer brands, reducing interruptions for reloading and helping crews maintain consistent driving speed across large siding jobs
• Secure, long-lasting attachment - the ring-shank geometry resists nail withdrawal caused by seasonal wood movement, thermal expansion in fiber cement, and wind loads, reducing callbacks and rework over time

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this nail suitable for use with fiber cement siding boards?

Yes. This nail is specifically designed for use in fiber cement boards. The diamond point tip allows clean penetration, and the annular ring shank provides the withdrawal resistance needed to keep fiber cement panels secure over time.

What pneumatic nailers are compatible with this 15 deg. wire-coil nail?

This nail is designed to be compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic coil nailer tools. The 15 deg. collation angle is a common format found on a wide range of professional coil siding nailers - consult your tool manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility before use.

What is the difference between Type 304 and Type 316 stainless steel for siding nails?

This nail is made from Type 304 stainless steel, which offers strong corrosion resistance for most exterior siding applications. For seaside or coastal environments where exposure to salt air is a concern, a Type 316 stainless steel version offers superior corrosion resistance and may be the more appropriate choice for those conditions.

Why does the checkered head pattern matter for siding installation?

The checkered pattern on the full round head serves three practical purposes - it blends visually with wood grain for a cleaner finished appearance, reduces glare from sunlight on exposed nail heads, and helps the surface accept paints and other finishes so the fastener is less visible after the job is complete.
