Value Collection 12CTDSKR1 12D Sinker Nails 10 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12CTDSKR1 is a 12D sinker nail designed for general framing and structural fastening applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a cement-coated finish, this nail measures 3-1/4 inches in overall length and is produced in 10 gauge wire diameter. The cement coating provides a friction-based adhesion effect during driving, which improves holding power in dimensional lumber. Smooth shank construction makes these nails well-suited for pneumatic nailers as well as hand nailing. Contractors, framers, and finish carpenters keep this nail size on hand as a standard framing fastener.

These 12D sinker nails are used in residential and light commercial construction for tasks including wall framing, floor decking, and roof sheathing. The 3-1/4 inch length and 10 gauge body provide the penetration depth and shear strength appropriate for standard dimensional lumber connections. The cement-coated finish activates under the heat of driving, helping lock the fastener in place once set. This size is one of the most commonly specified nails in conventional wood-frame construction.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for standard framing nailer applications using 12D smooth shank sinker nails in wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors using pneumatic framing nailers or a framing hammer. Verify nailer compatibility with 10 gauge, 3-1/4 inch smooth shank sinker nails before loading. Follow applicable building code requirements for nail schedules as specified in the IRC or local adopted code. Store fasteners in a dry environment to prevent corrosion before use.
