Value Collection 12C1 Common Nail 12D 9 Gauge 3.25 in Ring Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12C1 is a 12-penny (12D) common nail designed for structural framing, sheathing, and general construction fastening. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright finish, this nail measures 3.25 inches in overall length and is produced in 9 gauge wire diameter. The ring shank design increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, making it well suited for applications where fastener pull-out is a concern. This nail is installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using standard nail guns or hand-hammering methods.

The 12C1 is appropriate for residential and light commercial framing, subfloor attachment, wall sheathing, and similar structural wood-to-wood fastening tasks. The 12D penny size is a common specification in load-bearing wall framing and roof sheathing per standard building codes. The bright finish is suited for interior or protected exterior applications where corrosion resistance is not a primary requirement.

Key Features

• 12-penny (12D) sizing — standard for structural framing and sheathing applications
• Ring shank profile increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable strength in general construction use
• Bright finish provides a clean appearance for interior and dry-environment applications
• 9 gauge wire diameter consistent with standard 12D common nail specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 12-penny common nail suitable for use in residential and light commercial wood-framing and sheathing applications where a 3.25-inch, 9-gauge ring-shank nail is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by framers, carpenters, or general construction tradespeople using a framing hammer or compatible pneumatic nailer rated for the nail diameter and length. Verify that the bright finish is appropriate for the moisture exposure level of the application — uncoated steel nails are not recommended for exterior or pressure-treated lumber contact without a corrosion-resistant finish. Follow applicable building code requirements for nail spacing and pattern in structural assemblies.
