Hillman Fasteners 461444 Plastic Cap Roofing Nail 1.75in 12ga

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461444 is a 1.75-inch, 12-gauge electro-galvanized plastic cap roofing nail designed for mechanically fastening roofing underlayment, house wrap, and similar sheet materials to wood substrates. The large plastic cap distributes holding force across a wider surface area, reducing the risk of tear-through on flexible sheet goods. The Fasn-Rite electro-galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited for exterior roofing applications. Sold by the box with a package quantity of 12, this nail is a standard consumable for roofing contractors and general construction crews working on residential and light commercial projects.

These plastic cap nails are used in roofing and building envelope applications where underlayment, felt paper, or housewrap must be secured firmly before finish materials are installed. The 12-gauge shank provides adequate holding strength in typical wood sheathing. Roofing crews typically drive these nails using a cap nailer or hammer, depending on job volume and site conditions. The electro-galvanized finish makes them appropriate for exterior exposure during the installation window before finish roofing is applied.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by roofing contractors using a compatible cap nailer or by hand with a hammer. Ensure the nail fully seats the plastic cap flush against the material surface without overdriving, which can compromise the holding area. Follow local building codes and roofing manufacturer fastener schedules for spacing and pattern requirements.
