Value Collection 2ATUL1 Underlayment Nail 2 in 13 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2ATUL1 is a 13-gauge underlayment nail designed for fastening roofing underlayment, felt paper, and similar sheet materials during residential and light commercial roofing work. At 2 inches overall length with an annular thread shank, this nail provides enhanced holding power compared to smooth-shank alternatives, resisting pull-through and withdrawal forces common in wind-exposed roof assemblies. Constructed from Grade 2 steel with an uncoated finish, it is suited for dry, protected applications where corrosion exposure is not a primary concern. Roofing contractors and general carpenters are the typical installers.

This nail is used in roofing and flooring underlayment installations where a mechanically driven or hand-driven fastener is required to secure sheet goods to wood substrates. The annular thread shank pattern grips the wood fibers along the shank length, making it well suited for OSB, plywood, and dimensional lumber decking. It is appropriate for residential new construction, re-roofing projects, and subfloor underlayment applications where a 13-gauge diameter and 2-inch length meet the specified fastener schedule.

Key Features

• Annular thread shank increases withdrawal resistance versus smooth-shank nails
• 13-gauge wire diameter provides a balance of shank strength and material penetration
• 2-inch overall length suits standard underlayment and sheet-goods fastening schedules
• Grade 2 steel construction for consistent mechanical performance
• Uncoated finish keeps cost low for interior or protected dry applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use fastener for roofing underlayment and sheet-goods applications requiring a 13-gauge, 2-inch annular thread shank nail.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by roofing contractors or carpenters using a hammer or compatible pneumatic/coil nailer accepting 13-gauge ring-shank nails. Follow the fastener schedule specified by the underlayment manufacturer and applicable building code for nail spacing and edge distance. For corrosion-sensitive environments or exterior exposure without a finished roof covering, consult local code requirements regarding nail finish and material grade before proceeding.
