Hillman Fasteners 461609 Galvanized Roofing Nails 2.5in 11ga

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461609 is a 1-pound unit of hot-dipped galvanized roofing nails designed for securing roofing materials in residential and light commercial applications. Each nail measures 2.5 inches in length and is formed from 11-gauge wire, providing the shank diameter and holding strength required by standard roofing installations. The hot-dip galvanizing process coats the nail in zinc to resist corrosion from moisture and weather exposure. These nails are sold by the pound and are suited for roofing contractors, carpenters, and general construction trades working on shingle, felt, or underlayment applications.

These roofing nails are appropriate for use in hand-nailing asphalt shingles, roofing felt, and similar sheet goods to wood decking. The 2.5-inch length and 11-gauge shank meet common code-referenced fastener requirements for asphalt shingle installation. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes them suitable for use in exposed or moisture-prone roof assemblies where bare steel fasteners would corrode and stain. Roofing contractors and carpenters typically use this nail size for standard residential re-roofing and new construction work.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by roofing contractors or carpenters following manufacturer shingle installation guidelines and applicable building codes. Disconnect power to any roof-mounted equipment in the work area before beginning. Drive nails flush to the shingle surface without overdriving, as overdriven fasteners can break through the shingle mat and reduce holding strength. Follow local building code requirements for fastener count and placement pattern per shingle course.
