10d x 3 in. 31-34 Deg. Ring-Shank Nail 304 Stainless from Simpson is a full round head, annular ring-shank nail built for structural wood framing and fastening work where both holding power and long-term corrosion resistance are non-negotiable. Collated at a 31 deg. - 34 deg. angle on plastic strip, these 11-gauge stainless steel nails are engineered for use with a wide range of compatible pneumatic framing nailers, delivering consistent, high-volume performance on demanding jobsites and in challenging environments alike.

Key Features

• Annular Ring Shank - Dramatically increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, providing a more secure mechanical hold in structural wood framing and other load-bearing assemblies.
• Type 304 Stainless Steel Construction - Delivers superior corrosion resistance for use in coastal, high-humidity, and other environments where moisture or salt exposure would compromise standard steel fasteners.
• Full Round Head with Checkered Pattern - Maximizes bearing surface against the wood for code-recognized structural connections, while the checkered face reduces cam-out and improves drive consistency.
• 31 deg. - 34 deg. Plastic Strip Collation - Compatible with a broad selection of pneumatic framing nailers from leading tool manufacturers, reducing jobsite compatibility concerns and keeping work moving efficiently.
• 11-Gauge Shank Diameter - Provides the shank strength appropriate for structural framing applications without over-splitting dimensional lumber during installation.

Why This Product

• Built for corrosive environments - Type 304 stainless steel construction makes these nails a dependable choice for coastal construction, high-humidity jobsites, and any application where fastener corrosion could compromise structural integrity over time.
• Stronger grip where it matters - The annular ring shank delivers measurably higher withdrawal resistance than smooth-shank alternatives, making these nails well-suited for structural framing connections that need to hold under load and movement.
• Wide nailer compatibility - The 31 deg. - 34 deg. plastic strip collation is accepted by verified-compatible nailers across multiple major tool brands, so contractors are not locked into a single tool platform.
• Finish-friendly stainless - Beyond corrosion protection, Type 304 stainless steel is recognized for reduced glare and surface finish acceptance, making these nails a practical choice on projects where exposed fasteners or finish quality are a consideration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of nailers are compatible with these collated nails?

These nails are collated at a 31 deg. - 34 deg. angle on plastic strip, making them compatible with a wide range of pneumatic framing nailers that accept 31 deg. - 34 deg. plastic strip collation.

Why choose a ring-shank nail over a smooth-shank nail for framing applications?

The annular ring shank dramatically increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, delivering a more secure and long-lasting attachment in structural wood assemblies, framing, and decking substrates.

Are these nails suitable for use in corrosive or coastal environments?

Yes. These nails are manufactured from Type 304 stainless steel, which provides high corrosion resistance, making them well suited for applications exposed to moisture, salt air, and other corrosive environments.

What is the head style on these nails, and does it affect their performance?

These nails feature a full round head with a checkered pattern. The full round head maximizes the bearing surface against the workpiece for superior holding strength, while the checker pattern blends with wood grain, reduces glare from sunlight, and accepts surface finishes for a cleaner appearance.
