Value Collection 138CTDDW5 Drywall Nails 13 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 138CTDDW5 is a 13-gauge drywall nail designed for fastening gypsum board to wood framing in residential and light commercial construction. The nail measures 1-3/8 inches overall length and features a smooth shank profile with a cement-coated finish. The cement coating provides friction-based holding power during drive, helping resist pull-through under normal load. The nail is manufactured from Grade 2 steel, offering consistent hardness for reliable driving with a standard nail gun or hand hammer without excessive bending or deflection.

These drywall nails are suited for interior wall and ceiling drywall installation where a smooth-shank fastener is specified. The 1-3/8-inch length is appropriate for standard single-layer drywall applications over wood studs or joists. Carpenters, drywall hangers, and general contractors typically use fasteners in this size range for attaching 1/2-inch or 5/8-inch gypsum panels to dimensional lumber framing. Sold individually by the unit as indicated by the package quantity.

Key Features

• 13-gauge wire diameter for consistent drive performance and holding strength
• 1-3/8-inch overall length suited for single-layer drywall over wood framing
• Smooth shank profile for clean, flush driving into gypsum board
• Cement-coated finish increases friction and pull-out resistance during installation
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable hardness and minimal deflection on drive

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fastener for standard drywall nailing applications over wood-framed assemblies where a 13-gauge smooth-shank cement-coated nail is specified.

Installation Notes

Drywall nails in this size class are installed by qualified carpenters or drywall hangers using a standard framing hammer or drywall hammer. Drive the nail flush or slightly dimpled without breaking the face paper of the gypsum panel. Follow local building codes and gypsum association guidelines for fastener spacing on walls and ceilings. Do not overdrive, as fracturing the face paper reduces holding capacity.
