Hillman Fasteners 461442 Plastic Cap Roofing Nail 2000 Pack

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461442 is a 1.25-inch, 12-gauge electro-galvanized plastic cap roofing nail sold in a 2000-count box under the Fasn-Rite line. These nails are designed for fastening roofing underlayments, house wraps, and vapor barriers where a broad holding surface is needed to prevent pull-through. The plastic cap distributes load across a wider area than a standard nail head, improving retention in lightweight sheet materials. The electro-galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to exterior roofing applications. Each box contains 2000 nails, making it appropriate for production roofing work.

These plastic cap nails are used in residential and light commercial roofing installations. Typical applications include securing synthetic roofing underlayment, felt paper, and housewrap to roof decking or wall sheathing prior to final cladding. Roofing contractors and carpenters install them during new construction and re-roofing projects. They are compatible with cap nailers and can also be hand-driven where tool access is limited.

Installation Notes

Plastic cap roofing nails are installed by roofing contractors following local building code requirements for underlayment fastening patterns. Confirm fastener spacing and cap size requirements with the underlayment manufacturer and applicable code before installation. When using a pneumatic cap nailer, set tool pressure to avoid over-driving and cracking the plastic cap. Store unused nails in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the galvanized coating.
