Value Collection 12CTDSKR5 12D Sinker Nails 10 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 12CTDSKR5 is a 12D sinker nail designed for structural framing and general construction fastening applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a cement-coated finish, this nail measures 3-1/4 inches overall length and is manufactured to 10 gauge wire diameter. The cement coating reduces driving resistance and improves holding strength once set, making it a standard choice for framing crews, rough carpentry, and sheathing work. Installation is straightforward with a standard framing hammer or pneumatic nailer compatible with this nail size and gauge.

This sinker nail is suited for wood-to-wood fastening in residential and light commercial framing. Common applications include wall plate attachment, joist installation, sheathing, and decking substructure. The smooth shank profile is appropriate for applications where nail removal may be required during construction sequencing. Carpenters and framing contractors working to standard building codes will find this nail compatible with typical framing lumber assemblies.

Key Features

• 12D nail size at 3-1/4 inches OAL for full-depth framing penetration
• 10 gauge wire diameter provides consistent shank strength
• Cement-coated finish reduces driving resistance and improves holding power
• Smooth shank allows removal during construction if needed
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard structural fastening duty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for standard framing applications requiring 12D sinker nails in residential and light commercial wood-frame construction.

Installation Notes

This nail is installed by licensed carpenters and framing contractors using a standard framing hammer or a pneumatic nailer rated for 3-1/4 inch sinker nails. Verify nailer magazine and driver settings match the nail gauge and length before use. Follow applicable building codes for nail spacing and pattern when fastening structural members. Do not use in applications requiring ring-shank or spiral-shank withdrawal resistance unless the smooth shank profile meets the specified load requirements.
