Hillman Fasteners 461441 Plastic Cap Roofing Nail 212pc

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461441 is a 212-piece box of Fasn-Rite electro galvanized plastic cap roofing nails sized at 1.25 inches in length and 12 gauge in diameter. These nails are designed to secure roofing underlayment, housewrap, and vapor barriers to sheathing or structural framing. The large plastic cap distributes holding force across a wider surface area, reducing tearing of thin membrane materials. Electro galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to exterior roofing applications. Roofers, general contractors, and building envelope installers are the primary trade users of this fastener type.

Plastic cap roofing nails are standard fasteners in residential and light commercial roofing applications. They are commonly used when installing synthetic underlayment, felt paper, or housewrap prior to final roofing material installation. The 1.25-inch length and 12 gauge shank are appropriate for penetrating typical sheathing thicknesses found in residential construction. Each box contains 212 nails, making it a practical unit for small-to-mid-scale roofing jobs.

Key Features

• 212-piece count per box provides adequate quantity for targeted roofing tasks
• 1.25-inch length suits penetration requirements for standard roof sheathing applications
• 12 gauge shank delivers holding strength through membrane and into substrate
• Electro galvanized finish resists corrosion in exterior environments

Installation Notes

Plastic cap roofing nails are typically installed by roofers and general contractors using a cap nailer or by hand with a standard hammer. Ensure the substrate is clean and dry before fastening membrane materials. Follow local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and pattern when securing underlayment or housewrap. Do not overdrive nails, as this can compromise the cap and reduce holding capacity.
