Bsc Preferred 720483 16D Common Nail 1 Lb Framing

Product Description

The BSC PREFERRED 720483 is a 16D bright common nail designed for general construction carpentry and structural framing applications. The smooth shank and flat head provide reliable fastening performance, while the diamond point allows for consistent, controlled driving. The larger-diameter shank delivers greater shear strength compared to lighter-gauge alternatives, making this nail a standard choice for dimensional lumber connections. Each box contains 1 pound of nails. Bright polished finish is suited for dry interior installations where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial construction for wood framing, rough carpentry, and general structural assembly. The 16D common nail is a widely recognized fastener size in platform and balloon framing, floor decking subassembly, and wall stud work. Installation by general contractors, framers, and rough carpenters is typical. The 1-pound package is appropriate for smaller jobs, repairs, or situations where a full box quantity is not needed.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by framers, carpenters, and general contractors using a framing hammer or pneumatic nail gun compatible with common-nail dimensions. Always verify that the nail length and shank diameter are appropriate for the lumber thickness and code requirements of the application. Bright finish nails are not recommended for exterior or high-moisture environments where corrosion resistance is required. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC framing nailing schedules, for structural connections.
