Product Description
Simpson 3 in. 10d Annular Ring Shank Common Nail in 316 Stainless Steel, 8 Gauge is a professional-grade fastener built for construction environments where holding power and long-term corrosion resistance are critical. Engineered by Simpson and produced in the United States, these nails combine an aggressive annular ring shank profile with Type 316 stainless steel composition, making them a dependable choice for coastal construction, permanent wood foundation work, and any application where exposure to moisture, salt air, or harsh conditions demands a fastener that will not fail over time.
Key Features
- Type 316 stainless steel construction - delivers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard stainless grades, making these nails well suited for seaside, coastal, and other high-moisture environments where lesser fasteners would degrade prematurely.
- Annular ring shank design - the ringed shank grips surrounding material aggressively, dramatically increasing withdrawal resistance so connections stay tight and secure under load and long-term environmental stress.
- Full round head with 7/16 in. head diameter - provides broad bearing surface for improved load distribution and flush, reliable seating across a wide face.
- Diamond point tip - allows for clean, controlled penetration into dense or treated lumber, reducing the risk of splitting during installation.
- 8 gauge, 3 in. length, 10d penny size - a proven heavy-duty common nail dimension appropriate for structural framing, foundation work, and other demanding fastening applications.
- Recommended for permanent wood foundation construction - stainless steel nails of this type are specified for use in accordance with the ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications, giving builders confidence in compliance with established standards.
- Made in the United States by Simpson - consistent manufacturing quality from a trusted name in structural fastening, ensuring dimensional accuracy and material integrity nail to nail.
Why This Product
- Built for the most corrosive environments - Type 316 stainless steel is the premium choice for coastal and marine-adjacent projects where salt air and persistent moisture would compromise ordinary nails, helping protect the long-term integrity of the structure.
- Exceptional holding power for critical connections - the annular ring shank sets this fastener apart from smooth-shank alternatives, providing withdrawal resistance that keeps joints and panels firmly attached even as wood expands, contracts, and ages.
- Code-recognized for permanent wood foundations - these stainless steel ring shank nails meet the fastener requirements outlined in ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications, offering builders and inspectors a straightforward path to compliance.
- Trusted brand, domestic production - backed by Simpson and manufactured in the United States, these nails offer the quality assurance that professionals expect on jobs where fastener performance cannot be left to chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose Type 316 stainless steel over Type 304 for my project?
Type 316 stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance compared to Type 304, making it the preferred choice for seaside and coastal applications where exposure to salt air, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions is a concern. If your project is near the ocean or in a highly corrosive environment, Type 316 is the recommended option.
What is the benefit of an annular ring shank on these nails?
The annular ring shank design increases withdrawal resistance significantly compared to a smooth shank nail. This means the nail grips the surrounding material more aggressively, resulting in a more secure and long-lasting attachment that is less likely to loosen over time under load or environmental stress.
Are these nails suitable for permanent wood foundation construction?
Yes. Stainless-steel nails such as these are recommended for the construction of permanent wood foundations in accordance with the ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications. Their corrosion resistance and superior holding power make them well-suited for this critical application.
How many nails are included in a 10 Lb box?
Each 10 Lb box contains approximately 500 nails, giving you a reliable quantity for larger framing, decking, or foundation projects where consistent, high-performance fastening is required.
