Value Collection 78EGRFG5 Roofing Nails 11 Gauge 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 78EGRFG5 is an 11-gauge roofing nail with a ring shank design and a galvanized finish, manufactured from Grade 2 steel. At 7/8 inches overall length, this fastener is sized for securing roofing felt, shingles, and similar roofing substrates. The ring shank profile increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth-shank nails, helping the fastener hold under wind uplift and thermal cycling. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suited to exterior roofing applications. These nails are installed by roofing contractors and general construction trades using pneumatic coil nailers or hand nailing tools appropriate for the gauge and shank style.

This nail is intended for residential and light commercial roofing applications where a short, heavy-gauge fastener is required. Typical use cases include attaching asphalt shingles, roofing underlayment, and similar sheet or panel materials to wood decking. The 7/8-inch OAL makes it appropriate for thin-substrate fastening where penetration depth must be controlled. The ring shank pattern provides added holding power in softer wood decking materials commonly found in residential construction.

Key Features

• 11-gauge wire diameter for heavy-gauge shank strength
• 7/8 inch overall length suited for thin roofing substrates
• Ring shank profile for increased withdrawal resistance
• Grade 2 steel construction for consistent mechanical performance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exterior applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard roofing nail for use in residential and light commercial roofing assemblies where an 11-gauge, 7/8-inch ring shank fastener is specified.

Installation Notes

Roofing nails of this type are installed by roofing contractors following manufacturer fastening schedules and applicable local building codes. Verify that the nail length and gauge meet the shingle or underlayment manufacturer specifications before installation. When using a pneumatic nailer, confirm the tool is set to the correct depth to avoid overdriving or underdriving the fastener. Handle galvanized fasteners with care to avoid damaging the coating prior to installation.
