Hillman Fasteners 461791 Copper Slating Nails 6 Oz

Product Description

The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461791 is a box of copper slating nails designed for fastening slate, tile, and similar roofing materials to wood substrate. Each nail measures 1.5 inches in length and is sized to 11 gauge, providing the slim shank profile needed to seat cleanly through slate without cracking the tile. The copper construction resists corrosion from weather exposure, making these nails a standard choice for long-service roofing applications. This box contains 6 oz of nails and is sold in a package quantity of 5 boxes. Roofing contractors and slaters rely on copper nails where galvanized or steel fasteners would stain or corrode in contact with natural slate.

Copper slating nails are used in residential and commercial roofing work involving natural slate, fiber cement slate, and similar hard roofing tiles. They are driven through pre-drilled holes in the slate and into the roof deck below. The 1.5-inch length suits standard single-course slate installation over typical sheathing thickness. The 11 gauge shank diameter is consistent with industry norms for slate roofing fasteners, giving a secure hold without splitting thin slate tiles.

Installation Notes

Slate roofing work is typically performed by licensed roofing contractors familiar with local building codes. Pre-drill slate tiles before driving nails to avoid cracking. Do not overdrive nails; the nail head should sit flush against the tile face without fracturing the slate. Follow applicable roofing codes and manufacturer guidelines for fastener spacing and exposure.
