Simpson Nails: Professional-Grade Fasteners for Every Construction Application

When it comes to construction fasteners, selecting the right nail for your specific application is crucial for structural integrity and long-term performance. Simpson Strong-Tie offers engineered nails designed to meet the demanding requirements of professional contractors across framing, finish work, and structural connections.

Simpson Bulk Loose Nails

Individual loose nails provide maximum versatility for diverse construction and carpentry applications. These nails are engineered with specific shank designs, head configurations, and coatings to match their intended use, whether it's framing lumber, installing trim, or securing sheathing materials.

Loose nails excel in applications where nail placement varies, access is limited for pneumatic tools, or where hand-driving provides better control. They're essential for detail work, repairs, and situations where precise placement matters more than installation speed. Available in various lengths, diameters, and coating options, this product is suitable for a range of applications, from interior finish work to exterior structural projects.

The flexibility of loose nails makes them invaluable for contractors who work on diverse projects requiring different fastener specifications or where job site conditions don't accommodate pneumatic nailers.

Simpson Collated Nails

Strip-collated nails are engineered for high-volume installations using pneumatic nail guns, delivering consistent performance while significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. These nails are precision-manufactured and assembled in strips with specific angles and spacing to match different nail gun systems.

The collation system ensures reliable feeding and consistent driving depth, reducing misfires and improving productivity on large framing projects, sheathing installations, and repetitive fastening operations. Each nail maintains the same structural performance as loose versions while the strip delivery system eliminates the time spent loading individual fasteners.

Collated nails are essential for framing crews, roofing contractors, and any application where installation speed directly impacts project timelines and labor efficiency.

Simpson Joist Hanger Nails

Specifically engineered for use with Simpson structural connectors, these nails provide optimal load transfer and connection performance in wood-to-wood structural applications. The nail dimensions, head design, and material specifications are matched to Simpson hanger requirements to ensure maximum structural capacity.

These specialized nails feature the proper length, diameter, and head configuration to fully engage Simpson connector nail holes while providing required embedment into wood members. Using the correct joist hanger nails ensures that structural connections meet design loads and building code requirements.

Critical for any project using Simpson joist hangers, beam hangers, or other structural connectors where connection integrity depends on proper fastener selection and installation. The engineered match between the connector and nail provides reliable structural performance that generic nails cannot guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any nail in Simpson joist hangers?

No. Simpson joist hanger nails are specifically engineered to match the connector requirements. Using incorrect nails can reduce load capacity by up to 50% and may not meet building code requirements. Always use Simpson-specified nails for structural connector applications.

Are Simpson nails compatible with all nail gun brands?

Simpson collated nails are manufactured to industry-standard collation angles and spacing. However, always verify compatibility with your specific nail gun model. Check the nail gun manufacturer's specifications and test with a small quantity before large installations.

What causes nail gun misfires with collated nails?

Common causes include worn driver blades, incorrect air pressure, dirty nail strips, or damaged collation. Maintain proper air pressure per manufacturer specs, keep strips clean and dry, and replace worn gun components regularly.

What's the difference between galvanized and stainless steel nails?

Galvanized nails have a zinc coating for corrosion protection and are suitable for most construction applications. Stainless steel nails offer superior corrosion resistance for marine environments or highly corrosive conditions but cost significantly more.
