Product Description
Simpson 2-in. 6d Annular Ring Shank Common Nail, Type 304 Stainless Steel is a heavy-duty fastener from Simpson built for wood-to-wood fastening and framing applications where a lasting, corrosion-resistant hold is critical. The annular ring shank design delivers greater withdrawal resistance than a smooth shank nail, keeping fastened materials firmly together even under stress. Made from Type 304 stainless steel, this 6d common nail is engineered to stand up to moisture and exterior exposure, making it a dependable choice for permanent wood foundation construction and outdoor framing projects alike.
Key Features
- Annular ring shank - increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank nails, providing a more secure attachment that resists pull-apart forces over time.
- Type 304 stainless steel construction - delivers high-level corrosion resistance, so the nail maintains its integrity in exterior environments and moisture-prone applications without rusting or degrading.
- Recommended for permanent wood foundations - stainless steel nails of this type are called out by the ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications, giving builders confidence in code-aligned material selection.
- Full round head - provides broad bearing surface contact against the wood, distributing load evenly and reducing the chance of pull-through in structural fastening.
- Diamond point tip - allows for clean, efficient driving into wood framing material, reducing splitting and improving placement accuracy.
- 10-gauge, 2-in. stainless steel nail - sized as a 6d common nail, it suits a wide range of standard wood-to-wood fastening tasks while offering the strength profile expected in framing and foundation work.
- Sold in a 25 lb. bulk quantity - at approximately 125 nails per pound, the package provides a high count suitable for larger framing and foundation jobs, reducing the need for frequent restocking mid-project.
Why This Product
- Built for demanding exterior and foundation applications - the combination of Type 304 stainless steel and an annular ring shank means this nail is engineered specifically for conditions where corrosion and withdrawal forces are both active concerns, not just one or the other.
- Code-referenced material for permanent wood foundations - specifying stainless steel nails is not just a preference here; the ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications recommend them directly, making this nail a straightforward choice for compliant construction.
- Greater holding power than smooth shank alternatives - the annular ring shank actively resists withdrawal, which translates to joints and assemblies that stay tight longer, even in wood that may expand, contract, or experience repeated loading.
- Trusted Simpson fastener quality in a practical bulk pack - sourced from Simpson, a brand recognized in structural fastening, and packaged in a 25 lb. quantity that supports high-volume framing and foundation projects without constant reordering.
