Value Collection 20C5 Common Nail 20D 4 in Ring Shank

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 20C5 is a 20-penny (20D) common nail designed for heavy-duty fastening applications in structural framing, decking, sheathing, and general construction. Measuring 4 inches in overall length and sized at 6 gauge, this nail features a ring shank profile that provides significantly higher withdrawal resistance than a smooth shank nail. The flat head ensures flush seating against the workpiece surface. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a bright finish, it is suited for interior and dry-environment applications where corrosion resistance is not the primary requirement.

This nail is commonly used by carpenters, framers, and general contractors for wood-to-wood fastening tasks including wall framing, floor joist installation, and structural panel attachment. The ring shank design bites into wood fibers as the nail is driven, locking it in place and resisting pull-through under load. It is appropriate for both hand-nailing and pneumatic nailer applications where the gun accepts 20D ring shank nails of this diameter and length.

Key Features

• Ring shank profile delivers higher withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank nails
• 20-penny (20D) size at 4 inches overall length suits structural framing tasks
• 6 gauge diameter provides strong shear strength for wood connections
• Flat head design seats flush and distributes load across the surface
• Grade 2 steel construction meets standard fastener strength requirements
• Bright finish is appropriate for interior and protected dry-environment use

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 20D common nail for use in wood framing and general construction fastening applications where a 4-inch ring shank nail is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters and framers using a framing hammer or a pneumatic framing nailer rated for 20D nails of this gauge and length. Verify nailer compatibility with ring shank nail profiles before loading. Follow applicable building codes, including IRC and IBC fastening schedule requirements, when using these nails in structural connections. Bright-finish nails are not recommended for exterior, treated-lumber, or high-moisture environments where corrosion resistance is required.
