Value Collection 2EGRFG5 Roofing Nails 2 in 11 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 2EGRFG5 is an 11-gauge roofing nail designed for fastening roofing materials in residential and light commercial applications. At 2 inches overall length, these nails feature a ring shank profile that increases pull-out resistance compared to smooth-shank fasteners. The galvanized finish provides corrosion protection against moisture exposure, making them suited for exterior roofing work. Constructed from Grade 2 steel, they deliver the shear strength and toughness required by standard roofing installation practices. These nails are driven by pneumatic coil or strip nailers as well as by hand, depending on the tool setup on the job site.

These roofing nails are used in residential re-roofing and new construction when attaching asphalt shingles, felt underlayment, and similar sheet roofing materials to wood decking. The ring shank design is especially useful in high-wind regions where building codes require enhanced fastener holding power. Installers working in coastal or high-humidity environments benefit from the galvanized finish, which resists rust and extends the service life of the fastener in exposed conditions.

Key Features

• Ring shank profile increases pull-out resistance for high-wind fastening applications
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion protection in exterior and high-moisture environments
• 11-gauge wire diameter delivers appropriate shear strength for roofing substrates
• 2-inch overall length suits standard asphalt shingle installation over wood decking
• Grade 2 steel construction meets typical roofing fastener strength requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply nail for residential and light commercial roofing installations requiring 11-gauge, 2-inch ring shank fasteners.

Installation Notes

Roofing nails of this type are installed by roofing contractors using pneumatic nailers or hand hammers in accordance with local building codes and shingle manufacturer specifications. Fastener pattern and spacing should follow applicable code requirements such as IRC guidelines for wind uplift zones. Inspect the roof deck condition before installation and ensure nails are driven flush without overdriving, which can damage shingle integrity. Do not use in applications requiring stainless steel or other corrosion-resistant alloys where galvanized fasteners are specifically prohibited.
