Product Description
Simpson 6-in. x 0.238-in. 60d Annular Ring Shank Common Nail, Type 316 Stainless Steel is a heavy-duty fastener from Simpson engineered for demanding wood-to-wood connections where holding power and long-term durability are non-negotiable. Featuring an annular ring shank for increased withdrawal resistance and Type 316 stainless steel construction for severe-level corrosion resistance, this common nail is built to perform in the harshest exterior and coastal environments. It complies with ASTM F1667 specifications for post-frame ring-shank nails and is recommended by the ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications for use in permanent wood foundation construction. Sold in a 25 lb. quantity, this nail is proudly made in the United States.
Key Features
- Annular ring shank - increases withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank, so the nail resists pull-out forces and maintains a secure, lasting attachment in wood framing applications.
- Type 316 stainless steel material and finish - delivers severe-level corrosion resistance, making this nail a reliable choice for exterior construction, coastal environments, and other high-moisture conditions.
- ASTM F1667 compliance - meets established specifications for post-frame ring-shank nails, giving builders and inspectors confidence that the fastener meets recognized performance standards.
- ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications recommendation - stainless steel nails are specifically recommended for permanent wood foundation construction, making this nail a code-conscious choice for foundation work.
- Full round head with diamond point - the full round head provides broad bearing surface for strong pull-through resistance, while the diamond point allows for clean, efficient driving into dimensional lumber.
- 4-gauge, 60d penny size at 6 in. length - the substantial size and gauge deliver the structural holding capacity needed for heavy-duty wood-to-wood fastening and framing applications.
- 25 lb. quantity per package - provides enough fasteners for large framing or foundation projects, reducing the need for frequent reordering on job sites with high nail volume demands.
Why This Product
- Severe-level corrosion resistance where it counts most - Type 316 stainless steel is the material of choice for exterior and coastal construction, standing up to salt air, moisture, and the conditions that cause standard fasteners to fail prematurely.
- Engineered for superior holding power - the annular ring shank actively works against withdrawal forces, giving wood-to-wood connections and post-frame assemblies the long-term structural integrity that smooth-shank nails simply cannot match.
- Meets critical industry standards for foundation and framing work - ASTM F1667 compliance combined with the ANSI/AWC recommendation for permanent wood foundations makes this nail a dependable choice for projects where code compliance and engineering specifications matter.
- Trusted Simpson quality made in the United States - backed by Simpson's reputation for precision-manufactured fasteners, this nail is purpose-built to meet the requirements of professional contractors tackling exterior framing, wood foundations, and other demanding structural applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the annular ring shank better than a smooth shank nail?
The annular ring shank increases withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank, meaning the nail resists being pulled back out of the material far more effectively. This translates to a more secure and lasting attachment in wood-to-wood fastening applications.
Why is Type 316 stainless steel recommended for exterior and coastal applications?
Type 316 stainless steel provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making it the preferred choice for environments exposed to moisture, salt air, and other corrosive conditions. It outperforms standard stainless steel grades in harsh coastal and outdoor settings.
Are these nails suitable for use in permanent wood foundation construction?
Yes. Stainless-steel nails are recommended for construction of permanent wood foundations by the ANSI/AWC Permanent Wood Foundations Design Specifications, making the T60ACNB an appropriate choice for that application.
What standard does this nail comply with, and what does that mean for my project?
This nail complies with ASTM F1667 specifications for post-frame ring-shank nails. Compliance with this standard ensures the nail meets established dimensional and performance requirements, giving builders and contractors confidence in the fastener's quality and consistency for post-frame and structural applications.
