Value Collection 10HGC1 10D Common Nail 3 Inch Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10HGC1 is a 10D common nail designed for general construction fastening applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a galvanized finish, this nail measures 3 inches in overall length and is manufactured to 9 gauge diameter. The ring shank design provides enhanced withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank fasteners, making it well suited for structural and framing work where holding strength is a priority. It is installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors as a standard fastener in wood-to-wood connections.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial construction framing, sheathing, decking, and general rough carpentry. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for applications in treated lumber, exterior assemblies, or humid environments. Ring shank geometry increases friction against the wood fiber, reducing the risk of nail back-out over time under load or seasonal wood movement.

Key Features

• 10D penny size, 3 inches overall length for standard framing depth
• 9 gauge diameter for a robust shank profile
• Ring shank design improves withdrawal resistance versus smooth shank
• Grade 2 steel construction for consistent mechanical performance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exterior and treated-lumber applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10D common nail replacement suitable for general wood framing, sheathing, and rough carpentry fastening applications where a 3-inch galvanized ring shank nail is specified.

Installation Notes

Installed by framers, carpenters, and general contractors using a framing hammer or pneumatic nailer compatible with 10D common nails. Follow applicable building code requirements, including IRC or IBC fastener schedules, for minimum nail counts and spacing in structural connections. When fastening pressure-treated lumber, verify that the galvanized coating grade meets local code requirements for the treatment chemical used. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving nails manually or with a nail gun.
