Simpson Strong Tie NS2 Nail Stop 16 Gauge Pack of 100

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG TIE NS2 is a 16-gauge nail stop designed to control nail penetration depth during fastening operations. Measuring 1-1/2 inches wide by 6 inches long, it provides a physical stop that prevents over-driving nails into framing members, sheathing, or finish materials. This helps maintain structural integrity and surface quality across a wide range of wood construction tasks. Licensed contractors, framers, and finish carpenters rely on this type of hardware to maintain consistent fastener depth on production work where speed and repeatability both matter. Each package contains 100 units, making it well suited for larger job quantities.

The NS2 nail stop fits into general wood construction workflows including residential and light commercial framing, cabinetry assembly, sheathing installation, and other applications where controlling nail depth is critical to a clean, code-compliant result. Its 16-gauge construction gives it the rigidity needed to hold position during repetitive nailing operations without deforming under normal job-site conditions.

Key Features

• 16-gauge construction provides rigidity and durability during repetitive nailing
• 1-1/2 inch x 6 inch dimensions suited for standard framing and finish applications
• Controls nail penetration depth to prevent over-driving and surface damage
• Sold in a 100-unit package for production-volume job needs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style nail stop for use in standard wood framing, sheathing, and finish carpentry applications where consistent fastener depth control is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of nail stops is typically performed by framers, finish carpenters, or general contractors. No power tools are required for positioning the stop itself. Ensure the workpiece is properly secured before nailing operations begin. Follow applicable building codes and fastener schedules for the specific structural application.
