Product Description
The Simpson 1" x 2d Smooth Shank Common Nail in Type 316 Stainless Steel is a 15-gauge fastener built for wood construction and framing applications where corrosion resistance is a non-negotiable requirement. With a full round head, diamond point, and smooth shank, this nail drives cleanly and consistently, making it a dependable choice for decking projects, coastal builds, and any application where exposure to salt air, humidity, or moisture calls for a higher-grade stainless steel fastener.
Key Features
- Type 316 Stainless Steel Construction - Delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless grades, keeping fasteners structurally sound in harsh coastal and high-moisture environments where ordinary nails would degrade prematurely.
- Smooth Shank Design - Provides clean, consistent penetration into wood substrates, making it well-suited for general framing tasks and applications where a smooth shank nail is the specified fastener type.
- Full Round Head with Diamond Point - The broad head distributes holding load across the material surface while the diamond point guides the nail into position accurately, reducing splitting risk on entry.
- 15-Gauge Wire Construction - Strikes a balance between structural integrity and ease of driving, giving builders a reliable common nail for a broad range of wood construction tasks.
- Simpson Quality, American-Made - Produced to the exacting standards Simpson is known for, this nail reflects consistent manufacturing quality builders can depend on across every fastener in the box.
