Product Description
The Simpson 3-1/4 in. 31 deg. - 34 deg. Paper Tape Clipped Head Ring-Shank Nail, 10 Gauge, Type 304 Stainless Steel is a collated framing nail from Simpson engineered for general framing applications where holding strength and corrosion resistance are non-negotiable. Built with an annular ring shank and constructed entirely from Type 304 stainless steel, this 12d nail delivers a mechanically secure attachment that stands up to demanding conditions. The 31 deg. - 34 deg. paper-tape collation is compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic framing tools, helping reduce driving force and keep installation moving efficiently.
Key Features
- Annular ring shank - circumferential rings mechanically interlock with surrounding material to significantly increase withdrawal resistance and deliver a more secure, long-lasting attachment compared to smooth-shank alternatives
- Type 304 stainless steel construction - provides high-level corrosion resistance, making this nail a reliable choice for framing in moisture-prone or chemically active environments
- Smooth D-shaped clipped head - the clipped profile allows tighter collation spacing for higher nail capacity in the strip, while the smooth head seats cleanly and consistently
- 31 deg. - 34 deg. paper-tape collation - reduces driving force and increases installation speed, compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic framing tools
- Diamond point tip - promotes accurate nail placement and cleaner entry into framing lumber, reducing splitting risk during high-volume driving
- 10 gauge, 3-1/4 in. length - sized for 12d framing applications, providing the penetration depth needed for structural connections
Why This Product
- Built to hold under stress - the annular ring shank is specifically engineered to increase withdrawal resistance beyond what a smooth shank can offer, giving framed assemblies greater structural integrity over time
- Corrosion resistance you can count on - Type 304 stainless steel construction delivers high-level protection against rust and corrosion, extending the service life of fastened connections in challenging environments
- Broad pneumatic tool compatibility - the 31 deg. - 34 deg. paper-tape collation works with many major manufacturers' pneumatic framing nailers, so crews are not locked into a single tool brand on the job site
- Trusted Simpson engineering - Simpson offers an extensive selection of collated nails designed to meet the requirements of a wide variety of project types, and this ring-shank framing nail reflects that commitment to performance-driven fastener design

Frequently Asked Questions
What collation angle is this nail, and which pneumatic tools is it compatible with?
This nail uses a 31 deg. - 34 deg. paper-tape collation and is compatible with many major manufacturers' pneumatic framing tools, including models from Bosch, Bostitch, DeWalt, Grip-Rite, Hitachi, Makita, Max, Paslode, and Porter Cable, among others. Refer to the Tool Compatibility Matrix in the Downloads section for a full list of compatible models.
Why does an annular ring shank provide better holding power than a smooth shank?
The annular ring shank features circumferential rings along the shank that mechanically interlock with the surrounding material as the nail is driven. This significantly increases withdrawal resistance compared to a smooth shank, resulting in a more secure and long-lasting attachment.
Is Type 304 stainless steel suitable for corrosive environments?
Type 304 stainless steel provides high-level corrosion resistance, making it well suited for applications exposed to moisture and many corrosive conditions. For seaside or highly corrosive coastal environments, a higher-grade stainless steel option may be more appropriate.
How many nails come in this package?
This package contains 250 nails (12d x 3-1/4 in., 10-gauge, Type 304 stainless steel, annular ring-shank, clipped head).
