Value Collection 10HGC5 10D Common Nail 3 Inch Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10HGC5 is a 10D common nail designed for general construction fastening applications. At 3 inches in overall length and 9 gauge in wire diameter, this ring shank nail is manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a galvanized finish to resist corrosion in treated lumber and exterior environments. The ring shank profile increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank nails, making it a preferred choice for structural sheathing, framing, and decking assemblies where holding power is critical. Carpenters, framers, and general construction contractors will find this nail suitable for a wide range of production and repair work.

This 10D ring shank common nail is appropriate for residential and light commercial wood-frame construction. Typical applications include wall sheathing attachment, subfloor fastening, joist hanger installation, and general rough carpentry where code-compliant fastener schedules call for 10D nails. The galvanized finish makes it suitable for use with pressure-treated lumber in accordance with applicable building code requirements for corrosion-resistant fasteners.

Key Features

• 10D penny size, 3 inches overall length for standard framing and sheathing schedules
• 9 gauge wire diameter provides solid shank strength for structural fastening
• Ring shank profile delivers increased withdrawal resistance over smooth shank nails
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable holding strength
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exterior and treated-lumber applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 10D common nail for use in wood-frame construction assemblies where ring shank, galvanized fasteners are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and framers using standard pneumatic nail guns or hand-driving hammers compatible with 10D common nails. Verify that the nail length and shank type meet the fastener schedule requirements of the applicable residential or commercial building code before installation. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, always use corrosion-resistant nails as required by IRC and local building codes. Inspect nail heads for proper seating and avoid overdriving, which can reduce holding strength in sheathing panels.
