Maze Nails CMH16112 Tapered Masonry Nails 16d 3.5 in 1 Lb

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS CMH16112 is a hardened steel tapered masonry nail designed for fastening wood members directly to cinder block, concrete block, and fresh concrete surfaces. At 16d sizing and 3.5 inches in length, the nail features a blunt point and a tapered shank that work together to minimize spalling during penetration. This design also delivers greater pull-out resistance compared to standard wire masonry nails. These nails are sold in a 1-pound box containing approximately 34 nails. Installation is performed by masonry contractors, carpenters, and general contractors working on framing and attachment applications involving masonry substrates.

The CMH16112 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where wood framing, furring strips, or other lumber members must be secured to concrete or cinder block walls. A minimum penetration depth of 3.5 inches total nail length supports the recommended 0.75-inch embedment guideline into the masonry substrate. These nails are driven with a standard hammer. Safety glasses are required when driving masonry nails due to the risk of chip and fragment ejection during penetration.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for driving into concrete and cinder block without deformation
• Tapered shank and blunt point minimize spalling on penetration
• Greater pull-out resistance than wire masonry nails
• 16d nail size at 3.5 inches length suits standard furring and framing attachment tasks
• Available in 1-pound, 5-pound, and 50-pound box sizes for job-scaled purchasing

Compatibility

Designed for use in wood-to-masonry fastening applications involving cinder block walls, concrete block, and fresh concrete substrates.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, masonry contractors, or general tradespeople using a standard framing or masonry hammer. Always wear safety glasses when driving masonry nails, as hardened steel contact with concrete can eject fragments at high velocity. A minimum penetration depth of 0.75 inches into the masonry substrate is recommended for adequate holding strength. Do not use these nails with a powder-actuated tool unless the tool manufacturer specifically lists hardened cut nails as compatible fasteners.
