Maze Nails H54S112 Fluted Masonry Nail 9GA 1-1/4 in 150 Ct

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS H54S112 is a hardened steel fluted masonry nail designed for mechanically fastening furring strips, floor plates, and partition walls directly to masonry or concrete block substrates. The fluted shank provides mechanical interlock as the nail drives into the base material, resisting pull-out under load. At 1-1/4 inches in length and 9 gauge in diameter, this nail is sized for light structural attachment work in residential and commercial construction. The 5/16-inch head delivers consistent bearing surface for holding furring and plate material flat. Each box contains 150 nails and weighs approximately 1 pound. Installed by framing carpenters, general contractors, and experienced DIYers working on interior masonry tie-in applications.

This nail is suited for interior framing tasks where wood members must be attached to concrete masonry units, poured concrete, or similar hard substrates. Typical applications include attaching wood furring strips to basement walls, securing bottom floor plates to concrete slabs, and fastening non-load-bearing partition wall plates to masonry. The hardened steel construction allows the nail to be driven with a standard hammer or powder-actuated tool into masonry without bending. For best results, drive nails no closer than 3 inches from any edge of the masonry or block, and ensure a minimum penetration of 3/4 inches into the base material.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction allows direct driving into masonry and concrete block
• Fluted shank provides mechanical interlock and improved pull-out resistance
• 5/16-inch head diameter delivers solid bearing surface on furring and plate stock
• 9 gauge wire diameter for consistent sizing and fit in standard nail guides
• Recommended minimum edge distance of 3 inches from masonry edges reduces splitting risk
• 150-count box provides a full pound of nails for volume fastening tasks

Compatibility

Designed for use in masonry fastening applications including concrete block, poured concrete, and similar hard substrates where wood furring strips, floor plates, or partition wall plates are being attached.

Installation Notes

Hardened masonry nails are installed by framing carpenters and general contractors using a standard steel hammer or powder-actuated fastening tool. Always wear safety glasses when driving hardened nails, as fragments can dislodge on impact. Drive each nail a minimum of 3 inches from any edge of the masonry unit to reduce the risk of cracking or spalling. Power down any adjacent electrical circuits and shut off water supply lines before beginning work in the installation area.
