Value Collection 16CTDSKR1 16D Sinker Nails 3.5 in Smooth Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16CTDSKR1 is a 16D sinker nail designed for structural framing, sheathing, and general carpentry applications. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a cement-coated finish, this nail measures 3.5 inches in overall length and is produced in 9 gauge wire diameter. The cement coating reduces driving resistance and increases holding power once set, making these nails a practical choice for production framing crews and finish carpenters alike. The smooth shank profile is suited for applications where clean driving and consistent depth are priorities.

These sinker nails are used in wood-frame construction across residential and light commercial projects. Typical applications include wall framing, floor decking, roof sheathing, and general wood-to-wood fastening. The 16D designation makes them compatible with standard framing nailers and pneumatic nail guns configured for full-round or clipped-head 16D nails, as well as hand-driving with a framing hammer.

Key Features

• 16D size at 3.5 inches overall length for standard framing depth
• 9 gauge wire for consistent shank diameter and structural holding strength
• Cement-coated finish reduces driving friction and improves pull-out resistance
• Smooth shank profile for clean, controlled penetration
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable performance in wood-frame applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16D sinker nail suitable for use with pneumatic framing nailers and hand tools in wood-frame construction applications.

Installation Notes

These nails are installed by licensed carpenters, framing crews, and general contractors using pneumatic framing nailers or framing hammers. Follow all applicable building codes, including IRC or IBC nailing schedule requirements for the specific structural application. Ensure the nailer is depressurized and the work area is clear before loading or clearing jams. Do not use these nails in wet or pressure-treated lumber applications unless the cement coating and steel grade are verified against applicable code requirements for that exposure condition.
