Value Collection 158BLDW5 Common Nails 13 Gauge 1-5/8 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 158BLDW5 is a 13-gauge common nail with an annular thread shank, manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a blued finish. The annular threading along the shank provides mechanical resistance to withdrawal, making these nails suited for applications where holding power matters. At 1-5/8 inches overall length, these nails are sized for light framing, sheathing, and general fastening tasks encountered in construction and trade work. Installers working in carpentry, general contracting, and rough-in applications will find the blued finish provides basic surface protection during typical handling and storage.

These common nails are appropriate for residential and light commercial construction tasks where a mid-gauge, short-shank fastener is required. The annular thread shank improves pull-out resistance compared to smooth-shank nails of the same gauge, making them a practical choice for subfloor work, decking underlayment, crate fabrication, and similar fastening applications. They are compatible with hand-nailing and may also be driven with appropriate pneumatic or powder-actuated tools rated for loose nails of this gauge and length.

Key Features

• Annular thread shank for increased withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails
• Grade 2 steel construction for consistent hardness and shear strength
• Blued finish provides basic corrosion resistance during storage and handling
• 13-gauge diameter balances penetration force with holding capacity for light framing tasks
• 1-5/8 inch overall length suited for thin-material fastening and underlayment applications

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose common nail for hand-nailing and compatible loose-nail pneumatic or powder-actuated driving tools rated for 13-gauge fasteners at 1-5/8 inches overall length.

Installation Notes

These nails are installed by licensed carpenters, general contractors, and construction tradespeople using standard hammers or compatible nail driving tools. Verify that any pneumatic or powder-actuated tool is rated for the gauge and length before use. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC fastener schedules, when using common nails in structural applications. Wear appropriate eye protection when hand-nailing or operating fastening tools.
