Maze Nails S227530 Galvanized Siding Nails 2.5 in 13 Gauge 590 Ct

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS S227530 is a hot-dipped galvanized wood siding nail engineered specifically for split-prone wood species. At 2.5 inches in length with a 13-gauge slim shank and blunt point, this nail is designed to drive cleanly without causing splits in cedar, redwood, and similar materials. Each nail is double-dipped in molten zinc for corrosion resistance suited to exterior siding applications. The checkered head promotes paint adhesion for a finished appearance. This box contains approximately 590 nails at a net weight of 5 pounds, with a count of roughly 189 nails per pound.

The S227530 is intended for exterior wood siding installation on residential and light commercial structures. The combination of a slim shank and blunt tip makes these nails well suited for hand-nailing or pneumatic application in face-nailing or blind-nailing scenarios on lap siding, bevel siding, and similar profiles. The hot-dipped galvanized coating is appropriate for use in treated and untreated lumber exposed to weather. Siding installers and general carpenters are the primary users of this fastener.

Installation Notes

These nails are installed by qualified siding contractors or carpenters following local building code requirements. Ensure proper nail spacing and penetration depth per applicable building codes such as the IRC for residential siding attachment. When nailing into treated lumber, hot-dipped galvanized fasteners are generally required to resist corrosion from preservative chemicals. Avoid overdriving, which can damage the siding face and compromise the nail-holding surface.
