Value Collection 16CUTMAS1 Masonry Nail 16D 9 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16CUTMAS1 is a 16D cut-shank masonry nail designed for fastening wood framing members and plates to concrete, block, and masonry substrates. At 3.5 inches overall length and 9 gauge diameter, this nail delivers the penetration depth and shank strength required for structural and non-structural masonry attachment tasks. The cut shank profile increases holding power in hard substrates by compressing the material as it is driven. Constructed from Grade 2 steel, the 16CUTMAS1 is suited for interior masonry fastening applications where a hardened, flat-head nail is the specified fastener type. Installation is typically performed with a hand hammer or pneumatic nailer rated for cut masonry nails.

This nail is used in residential and light commercial construction where wood sill plates, bottom plates, or furring strips must be anchored directly to poured concrete foundations, concrete block walls, or similar masonry surfaces. It is a standard specification fastener for framing crews, general contractors, and finish carpenters working on below-grade framing, basement finishing, and slab-on-grade construction. The flat head profile seats flush and resists pull-through under load.

Key Features

• Cut shank profile increases withdrawal resistance in concrete and masonry
• Flat head design seats flush and resists pull-through
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable hardness and driveability
• 16D penny size at 3.5 inches overall length suits standard plate-to-slab fastening
• 9 gauge diameter provides adequate shear strength for framing attachment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16D cut masonry nail suitable for driving into concrete, concrete block, and similar masonry substrates in typical wood-to-masonry framing applications.

Installation Notes

Cut masonry nails should be installed by qualified carpenters or framing contractors familiar with masonry fastening requirements. Always wear appropriate eye protection, as masonry nails can fracture or deflect during driving. Use a hardened-face hammer or a pneumatic tool rated for cut masonry nails. Inspect the substrate for voids or cracks before fastening, and follow applicable building code requirements for fastener spacing and embedment depth.
