Maze Nails CMH8050 Tapered Masonry Nail 8d 2.5 in 50 Lb

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS CMH8050 is a hardened steel tapered masonry nail designed for fastening wood members to cinder block walls and fresh concrete. The blunt point and tapered shank work together to minimize spalling during penetration while delivering strong pull-out resistance. This case contains 3200 nails with a total weight of 50 pounds. Each nail is 8d, measuring 2.5 inches in length. Licensed contractors, masons, and carpenters rely on this fastener where mechanical attachment of framing or furring to masonry substrates is required.

The CMH8050 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where wood members need to be secured directly to masonry surfaces. Common install scenarios include attaching furring strips to cinder block basement walls, securing bottom plates to fresh concrete slabs, and similar wood-to-masonry connections. A minimum of 0.75 inches of nail penetration into the masonry surface is recommended for adequate holding strength.

Key Features

• Blunt point and tapered shank minimize spalling in cinder block and concrete
• Greater pull-out resistance compared to standard wire masonry nails
• Hardened steel construction for driving into masonry substrates
• 0.75 inch penetration depth recommended for proper fastening
• High-volume case count of 3200 nails supports production-rate workflows
• Safety glasses are recommended when driving these nails

Compatibility

Designed for wood-to-masonry fastening applications including attachment to cinder block walls and fresh concrete surfaces.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by carpenters, masons, or general contractors using a hammer or powder-actuated tool appropriate for masonry fastening. Always power down any nearby electrical circuits before working near masonry walls that may conceal wiring. Wear safety glasses during driving, as masonry fastening can produce chips or fragments. Follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and embedment depth on structural connections.
