Hillman Fasteners 122538 Brass Plated Linoleum Nail

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 122538 is a brass plated linoleum nail designed for securing linoleum flooring and similar resilient floor coverings to subfloor surfaces. At 5/8 inches in length and 16 gauge, this nail delivers a low-profile fastening solution that resists working through the material face. The brass plating provides corrosion resistance suited to interior flooring environments. Each package contains 1.5 oz of nails, making it practical for small patch jobs or targeted repairs where a full box is not needed.

Linoleum nails like the 122538 are used in residential and light commercial flooring installations where resilient sheet goods are mechanically fastened rather than fully adhered. The short 5/8 inch shank is sized to penetrate the flooring layer and bite into the subfloor without protruding through. Flooring installers and general contractors use this fastener during new installations and repair work on linoleum, vinyl composition, and similar resilient floor materials.

Key Features

• Brass plated finish for corrosion resistance in interior flooring applications
• 5/8 inch length keeps the nail head low and minimizes surface disruption
• 16 gauge wire diameter provides adequate holding strength for resilient flooring
• 1.5 oz package quantity suitable for repair work and small-scale installations
• Smooth shank profile consistent with standard linoleum nail geometry

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for use in standard linoleum and resilient sheet flooring applications over wood subfloor surfaces.

Installation Notes

Linoleum nails are typically installed by flooring professionals using a hammer or flooring mallet. Drive nails flush to the surface without countersinking to avoid cracking or tearing the flooring material. Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and structurally sound before fastening. Follow local building codes and flooring manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and pattern.
