Simpson Strong-tie N8D5HDG-R 8d Joist Hanger Nails 750ct Hdg

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE N8D5HDG-R is an 8d hot-dipped galvanized joist hanger nail designed specifically for use with structural connector hardware. At 1.5 inches in length and 10 gauge in diameter, this nail is engineered to deliver full bearing capacity in joist hangers, post caps, and similar metal connector plates. The hot-dip galvanizing process deposits a thick zinc coating that resists corrosion in treated lumber and exterior framing applications. Each box contains 750 nails and weighs approximately 5 pounds, making it a practical jobsite quantity for framing crews and structural carpenters.

These nails are intended for use with Simpson Strong-Tie structural connectors installed in residential and light commercial wood framing. Typical applications include floor system joist hangers, beam-to-post connections, and rafter tie hardware. The 1.5-inch length is sized for compatibility with standard connector flange depths, reducing the risk of nail tip blowout on narrower framing members. Nails are packaged in a resealable container for controlled dispensing and storage on active job sites.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Simpson Strong-Tie structural connector products requiring 8d nails. Always verify the specific connector installation instructions to confirm the required nail size, gauge, and coating before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified carpenters or structural framing contractors in accordance with applicable building codes and the connector manufacturer's load tables. Confirm nail size and galvanizing requirements with the connector's printed installation specifications before driving. Use a hammer or pneumatic nailer rated for 10-gauge nails; confirm the nailer's collation type and magazine compatibility before use. Do not substitute a different nail length or gauge, as doing so may void the published load values for the connector.
