Value Collection 212EGRFG1 Roofing Nail 11 Gauge 2.5 in Galvanized

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 212EGRFG1 is an 11-gauge roofing nail with a ring shank profile and a galvanized steel finish. It measures 2.5 inches in overall length, making it a standard choice for securing roofing materials to roof decks and underlayment systems. The ring shank design increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, reducing the chance of fastener pullout over time. Grade 2 steel construction with a galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in exposed roofing applications. Roofing contractors and general carpenters install these nails by hand or with compatible pneumatic nailers.

This nail is suited for residential and light commercial roofing work, including installation of asphalt shingles, felt underlayment, and similar roofing substrates. The 11-gauge wire diameter and 2.5-inch length fall within common code-specified fastener requirements for many shingle manufacturers and building codes. These nails are appropriate for use where a ring shank fastener with galvanized corrosion protection is specified by the project or material manufacturer.

Key Features

• Ring shank profile increases withdrawal resistance over smooth-shank nails
• 11-gauge wire diameter for standard roofing fastener applications
• 2.5-inch overall length suits common shingle and deck thickness combinations
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in outdoor and roofing environments
• Grade 2 steel construction meets general fastener strength requirements

Compatibility

Designed as a standard ring-shank roofing nail suitable for use with asphalt shingles, felt underlayment, and similar roofing materials where an 11-gauge galvanized fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by roofing contractors using a hammer or a pneumatic coil nailer compatible with 11-gauge ring-shank nails. Consult local building codes and shingle manufacturer specifications for minimum nail count per shingle and required penetration depth into the roof deck. Always verify the nailer pressure setting before use to avoid overdriving or underdriving fasteners. Work from a stable, secured position and follow all applicable fall-protection requirements when working at height.
