Simpson Strong-Drive SCNR Ring-Shank Connector Nail, 1 1/2 in. x 0.131 in., Type 316 Stainless Steel is engineered specifically for fastening Simpson Strong-Tie connectors where achieving full rated load values is critical. Built from Type 316 stainless steel and collated at 33 deg. with paper-tape collation, these 8d connector nails are the recommended choice when working with stainless steel connectors in demanding or corrosive environments. The annular-ring shank delivers superior withdrawal resistance, making them a reliable fastener for structural connector applications that cannot afford to compromise on holding power.

Key Features

• 33 deg. angle, paper-tape collation - compatible with pneumatic nailers, reducing driving force and increasing installation speed on the job site
• Annular-ring shank - provides superior withdrawal resistance over smooth-shank nails, helping connectors achieve their full rated load values
• Type 316 stainless steel construction - delivers severe-level corrosion resistance, making these nails the correct material match for use with stainless steel connectors
• Head ID stamp - allows for quick, easy identification on the job site, reducing the chance of mixing nail types during installation
• Full round head with smooth head pattern - seats consistently against connector flanges for reliable, code-compliant fastening
• Diamond point tip - drives cleanly into lumber with reduced splitting, supporting accurate placement in tight connector nail holes

Why This Product

• Engineered to match stainless steel connectors - Simpson specifies Type 316 stainless steel nails when using stainless steel connectors, ensuring material compatibility and preserving the full structural load values the connector is rated to carry
• Built for corrosive and severe-exposure environments - Type 316 stainless steel provides severe-level corrosion resistance, making these ring-shank connector nails a dependable choice for coastal, treated-lumber, and high-moisture applications where standard nails would corrode and lose holding power
• Annular-ring shank maximizes holding strength - the ring shank design resists withdrawal forces that a smooth-shank nail cannot match, which is essential in connector fastening where joint integrity directly affects structural performance
• Made in the United States by Simpson - produced domestically and designed specifically for use with Simpson Strong-Tie connector hardware, eliminating guesswork about compatibility and performance in code-required structural connections

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use Type 316 stainless steel nails with stainless steel connectors?

Type 316 stainless steel provides severe-level corrosion resistance and is specifically recommended when using stainless steel connectors. Matching the nail material to the connector material ensures compatibility and helps achieve full load values as rated by Simpson Strong-Tie.

What collation angle and type are these nails?

These nails feature a 33 deg. collation angle with paper-tape collation, which reduces driving force and increases installation speed when used with compatible pneumatic nailers.

What makes the annular-ring shank beneficial for connector applications?

The annular-ring shank provides superior withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank, which is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of connector fastening applications and achieving the full load values specified for Simpson Strong-Tie connectors.

How can I identify these nails once they are on the job site?

Each nail features a head ID stamp for easy identification, allowing you to quickly confirm you are using the correct nail for your connector application without confusion with other nail types.
