Hillman Fasteners 461440 Plastic Cap Roofing Nail 3000 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461440 is a 3000-count box of 1-inch, 12-gauge electro-galvanized plastic cap roofing nails designed for securing roofing underlayment, housewrap, and vapor barriers to wood substrates. The electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for exterior applications, and the wide plastic cap distributes clamping load across a broader surface area to resist pull-through. At 13 pounds per box, this is a bulk-quantity fastener suited for production roofing and weatherization work. Roofing contractors and installers will find the count practical for large residential or light commercial jobs.

These plastic cap nails are used in residential and light commercial roofing applications where underlayment, felt paper, or housewrap must be mechanically fastened before finish roofing is applied. The 1-inch shank length is sized for penetrating standard sheathing without over-driving into structural members. They are compatible with pneumatic cap nailers designed for this nail and cap configuration, though they can also be hand-driven. Typical applications include new roof installations, re-roofing tear-offs where the substrate is re-covered, and wall sheathing wrap installation.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with pneumatic cap nailers that accept 1-inch plastic cap roofing nails in 12-gauge wire diameter; also suitable for hand installation. Intended for fastening roofing underlayment, housewrap, and vapor barriers to wood roof decks and wall sheathing.

Installation Notes

Plastic cap roofing nails are typically installed by roofing contractors using a compatible pneumatic cap nailer or by hand with a hammer. Follow the roofing membrane or housewrap manufacturer's recommended fastener spacing pattern. Avoid over-driving, which can cut through the cap and reduce hold-down capacity. Consult local building codes for required fastener patterns and spacing on wind-rated assemblies.
