Maze Nails T447A050 Galvanized Ring Shank Deck Nails 50 Lb

Product Description

The MAZE NAILS T447A050 is a double hot-dipped galvanized ring shank nail designed for use with modern pressure-treated lumber. These 8d nails measure 2.5 inches in length and are manufactured from stiffer 11-gauge stock steel, allowing for a reduced shank diameter that limits wood splitting while maintaining structural integrity. The ring shank profile delivers exceptional withdrawal resistance, making these nails a reliable choice where holding power is critical. Each case contains approximately 5550 nails at a 50-pound fill weight. The double hot-dip zinc coating meets the corrosion resistance requirements of current treated lumber standards and is specified by many building codes for exterior and ground-contact applications.

These nails are suited for residential and light commercial deck construction, framing, and exterior applications where contact with ACQ, CA, or other copper-based pressure-treated lumber is expected. The Stormguard P.T.L. designation indicates suitability for use in pressure-treated lumber environments where standard electro-galvanized fasteners are not code-compliant. Licensed carpenters, framers, and general contractors installing decks, fences, or exterior structural members will encounter these nails as a code-compliant fastener solution.

Key Features

• Double hot-dipped galvanized coating for long-term corrosion resistance in treated lumber applications
• Ring shank profile provides superior holding power compared to smooth shank nails
• 11-gauge stiffer stock steel reduces shank diameter to minimize wood splitting
• 8d designation at 2.5 inches suits standard deck board and framing fastening tasks
• Case pack of approximately 5550 nails supports high-volume production work
• Zinc coating life expectancy compatible with the service life of pressure-treated lumber

Compatibility

Designed for use with pressure-treated lumber, including ACQ and copper-based treated wood products where hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel fasteners are required by code or lumber producer specification.

Installation Notes

These nails are intended for installation by qualified carpenters, framers, or deck contractors using hand hammers or pneumatic nailers rated for 8d ring shank nails. Verify that your pneumatic nailer magazine and driver blade are compatible with ring shank collated or bulk nails before use. Many residential and commercial building codes, including IRC provisions for exterior decking, require hot-dip galvanized fasteners when connecting to pressure-treated lumber — confirm local code requirements before installation. Avoid using smooth shank or electro-galvanized nails as substitutes in treated lumber applications.
