Value Collection 16HGC1 Common Nail 16D Ring Shank Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 16HGC1 is a 16D common nail designed for structural framing, decking, and general construction fastening applications. Built from Grade 2 steel with a galvanized finish, this nail measures 3.5 inches overall length (OAL) at 8 gauge. The ring shank profile provides enhanced holding power compared to smooth-shank nails, making it well-suited for applications where pull-out resistance matters. The flat head seats flush and distributes load across the fastened material. This nail is installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors working on wood-framed construction projects.

This nail is commonly used in residential and light commercial framing, subfloor installation, ledger boards, and exterior wood fastening where corrosion resistance is required. The galvanized finish helps resist rust and oxidation in exposed or treated-lumber environments. The ring shank makes it appropriate for decking, sheathing, and other applications where standard smooth-shank pull-out strength is insufficient. Quantity per package is 1.

Key Features

• Ring shank design increases pull-out resistance over smooth-shank nails
• Grade 2 steel construction for standard structural fastening applications
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for exterior and treated-lumber use
• Flat head for flush seating and load distribution
• 3.5 inch OAL at 8 gauge matches standard 16D framing nail specifications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 16D common nail for use with wood framing, sheathing, decking, and general carpentry applications requiring a galvanized ring-shank fastener.

Installation Notes

Installed by framers, carpenters, and general contractors using a framing hammer or pneumatic nailer compatible with 16D round-head nails. When fastening into pressure-treated lumber, confirm that the galvanized coating meets applicable building code requirements for contact with treated wood. Follow applicable local building codes and IRC guidelines for fastener schedules in structural applications.
