Maze Nails H61S050 Fluted Masonry Nails 10d 3in 9ga 50lb

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS H61S050 is a hardened steel fluted masonry nail designed for mechanically fastening wood framing members directly to concrete and masonry substrates. At 10d x 3 inches in length and 9 gauge in diameter, these nails deliver the shank strength needed to hold furring strips, floor plates, and partition wall bottom plates securely against block or poured concrete. The fluted shank increases holding power by displacing masonry material as the nail is driven. The 5/16-inch head provides solid bearing surface and resists pull-through. Sold as a 3100-count case weighing 50 pounds, this quantity is suited for production framing work on larger commercial or multi-unit residential projects.

These masonry nails are used by framing carpenters, concrete specialists, and general contractors when attaching wood members to masonry walls, slabs, or block foundations. Typical applications include interior furring wall layout, slab-on-grade floor plate attachment, and partition wall framing in concrete tilt-up or CMU construction. The 3-inch length provides adequate penetration into standard block and poured concrete assemblies without requiring a powder-actuated fastener tool, making them a practical option for hammer-driven installations where a powder tool is not available or practical.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction for driving into concrete and masonry without bending
• Fluted shank increases mechanical grip and withdrawal resistance in masonry
• 10d x 3 inches length, 9 gauge diameter for consistent sizing across framing applications
• 5/16-inch head provides broad bearing surface and reduces pull-through
• 3100-count case supports high-volume production framing work
• Hammer-driven — no powder-actuated tool required

Compatibility

Designed for hammer-driven installation into poured concrete, CMU block, and similar masonry substrates when fastening dimensional lumber furring strips, floor plates, and partition wall bottom plates.

Installation Notes

Drive nails no closer than 3 inches from the edge of any masonry or block unit to reduce the risk of spalling or cracking the substrate. Maintain a minimum penetration of 3/4 inches into the masonry for adequate holding strength. Always wear ANSI-rated safety glasses when driving hardened nails, as fragmentation can occur on impact. This work is typically performed by licensed framing contractors or concrete trades in compliance with applicable building code fastening schedules.
