Simpson Strong-tie N8DHDG-R Galvanized Joist Nails 8d 150ct

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE N8DHDG-R is an 8d hot-dip galvanized joist nail designed for use with structural connector products in wood framing applications. At 1.5 inches in length and 10 gauge wire diameter, this nail is sized to work with the load-path connector hardware that structural connectors require. The hot-dip galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for treated lumber and exterior framing conditions. Each box contains 150 nails and weighs approximately 1 pound net, packed in a resealable container that keeps fasteners organized on the jobsite. Licensed contractors and framers rely on these nails to meet connector manufacturer installation requirements.

These nails are intended for use with joist hangers, hurricane ties, post caps, and similar structural connectors in residential and light commercial wood framing. The 1.5-inch length and 10 gauge shank are matched to connector nail-hole geometry, ensuring proper bearing and load transfer through the connector. The resealable packaging makes partial-box storage practical when running smaller connector counts on a project.

Key Features

• 8d designation at 1.5 inches length and 10 gauge wire for connector-specific fitment
• Hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance with treated lumber and exterior framing
• 150-nail count per box provides a convenient quantity for mid-size framing tasks
• Resealable container for organized jobsite storage and easy partial use
• Nail length optimized for depth compatibility with standard framing member thicknesses

Compatibility

Designed for use with Simpson Strong-Tie structural connector products requiring 8d nails, including joist hangers and hurricane ties that specify a 10 gauge hot-dip galvanized fastener.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed framers or general contractors following applicable building code requirements. Always verify that the connector manufacturer specifies the N8DHDG-R or an equivalent 8d 10 gauge hot-dip galvanized nail before installation, as substituting incorrect nail sizes or coatings can reduce the rated load capacity of the connector. Drive nails fully seated without overdriving, which can distort connector flanges and compromise structural performance. Follow local building department requirements and connector installation instructions for nail pattern and quantity.
