Value Collection 8CUTMAS1 Masonry Nail 8D 9 Gauge

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 8CUTMAS1 is an 8D cut masonry nail designed for fastening into concrete, block, and masonry substrates. Manufactured from Grade 2 steel, this nail measures 2.5 inches in overall length and is produced in 9 gauge wire diameter. The cut shank profile increases holding power by mechanically keying into masonry material as the nail is driven, reducing the risk of pull-out under load. This type of fastener is standard on rough framing, furring strip attachment, and sill plate anchoring work where a pneumatic or hand-driven nail must penetrate hardened surfaces. Licensed carpenters, masons, and general contractors keep this nail on hand for concrete and block applications.

This nail is suited for residential and light commercial masonry fastening tasks. Typical applications include securing wood plates to concrete floors, attaching furring strips to block walls, and anchoring framing members to poured concrete foundations. The cut shank geometry makes it appropriate for hammer-driven installation directly into mortar joints or cured concrete without pre-drilling in many standard masonry conditions. It is sold in individual unit quantity, making it a practical option for job-site replenishment or low-volume specialty work.

Key Features

• Cut shank profile for increased withdrawal resistance in masonry substrates
• 8D penny size at 2.5 inches overall length for standard framing-to-masonry applications
• 9 gauge wire diameter provides strength suitable for structural fastening tasks
• Grade 2 steel construction for durability in masonry installation environments
• Hammer-driven design compatible with standard masonry nail installation practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fastener for standard 8D masonry nail applications in residential and light commercial construction.

Installation Notes

Masonry nails of this type are installed by carpenters and masons using a heavy framing hammer or masonry hammer. Always wear appropriate eye protection when driving cut nails into concrete or block, as chip and ricochet hazards are common. Do not attempt to drive masonry nails into reinforced or high-strength concrete without confirming suitability, as nail deflection or fracture can occur. Consult applicable building codes for minimum embedment and edge-distance requirements when fastening sill plates or framing members to concrete substrates.
