Value Collection 8C1 Common Nail 8D Ring Shank 2.5 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8C1 is an 8D common nail designed for general fastening tasks in wood framing, sheathing, and structural applications. At 10 gauge with an overall length of 2.5 inches, this nail is built to Grade 2 steel specifications and features a ring shank for improved holding power over smooth-shank alternatives. The bright finish indicates no protective coating, making it best suited for dry or interior applications. A flat head provides solid surface contact for driving with a standard hammer or nail gun where compatible.

This nail is a standard choice for residential and light commercial wood construction work including wall framing, subfloor nailing, and general carpentry. The ring shank profile mechanically locks into wood fibers, resisting withdrawal forces better than a smooth shank of the same diameter. It is typically installed by carpenters, framers, and general contractors working on wood-to-wood connections. The 8D penny size is one of the most commonly specified sizes in residential framing applications.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8D common nail for general wood fastening applications in residential and light commercial construction where a ring shank, bright-finish nail is specified.

Installation Notes

This nail is driven by framers and carpenters using a standard framing hammer or pneumatic nailer rated for the appropriate gauge and length. Verify that the bright finish is acceptable for the application, as uncoated steel is not recommended in wet, exterior, or treated-lumber environments where corrosion resistance is required. Follow local building codes and project specifications for nail spacing, quantity, and placement in structural assemblies.
