Value Collection 112CTDDW5 Drywall Nails 13 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 112CTDDW5 is a 13-gauge drywall nail designed for fastening drywall panels to wood framing in residential and light commercial construction. The nail measures 1-1/2 inches in overall length and features a smooth shank profile with a cement-coated finish that improves holding power on initial drive. Constructed from Grade 2 steel, this nail offers consistent hardness and shear resistance suitable for standard drywall installation work. Drywall finishers, framers, and general contractors are the primary users of this fastener type.

This nail is used in interior wall and ceiling drywall applications where wood studs or joists serve as the substrate. The 1-1/2 inch length is a common selection for single-layer 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch drywall panels fastened to nominal lumber framing. The cement coating activates briefly during driving to increase friction and reduce nail pop over time. This fastener is appropriate for hand-nailing applications on residential drywall projects.

Key Features

• 13-gauge wire diameter provides consistent nail body strength for drywall fastening
• 1-1/2 inch overall length suited for standard single-layer drywall installation into wood framing
• Smooth shank allows clean, controlled driving with a drywall hammer
• Cement-coated finish improves initial grip and reduces nail pop after finishing
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable hardness and shear resistance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supply fastener for hand-nailing drywall panels to wood stud framing in typical residential and light commercial interior construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by drywall hangers or general carpenters using a standard drywall hammer. Drive nails flush to slightly dimpled below the panel surface without breaking the paper face. Follow local building codes and gypsum board manufacturer fastener spacing requirements, which typically specify fastener intervals along studs and at panel edges. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, when hand-nailing.
