Value Collection 6HGOHS1 Siding Nail 6D 12 Gauge 2 in Oal

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6HGOHS1 is a 6D siding nail designed for fastening siding materials in residential and light commercial construction. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel with a smooth shank and uncoated finish, this nail measures 2 inches in overall length and is produced in 12 gauge wire diameter. The smooth shank profile allows for consistent, clean-driving performance through wood and engineered siding substrates. Carpenters, siding installers, and general contractors reach for this nail when a standard uncoated fastener is required for exterior cladding work.

This nail is suited for installing lap siding, wood shingles, and similar exterior cladding materials on wood-framed structures. The 6D designation follows standard nail sizing conventions, making this a commonly specified size for siding applications where building codes call out a minimum fastener length of 2 inches. The uncoated steel finish is appropriate for use where a coated or galvanized fastener is not specifically required by the project specification or local code.

Key Features

• 6D nail designation with 2-inch overall length for standard siding fastening applications
• 12 gauge wire diameter provides consistent shank strength
• Smooth shank profile for clean, controlled driving
• Grade 2 steel construction for reliable structural performance
• Uncoated finish suitable where corrosion-resistant coating is not required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 6D siding nail suitable for use in hand-nailing or pneumatic nailers compatible with 12 gauge, 2-inch smooth shank nails in siding installation applications.

Installation Notes

Siding nails are typically installed by carpenters or siding contractors using a hammer or a pneumatic coil or strip nailer rated for the appropriate gauge and length. Always verify that the fastener type and coating meet local building code requirements before installation, particularly in high-moisture or coastal environments where corrosion-resistant fasteners may be mandated. Inspect the substrate for soundness prior to fastening, and follow the siding manufacturer's nailing pattern and spacing specifications.
