Genuine Metabo HPT (formerly Hitachi) framing nails for 30 degree paper-tape clipped-head framing nailers. Diamond-point ring shank delivers roughly 35-40 percent more withdrawal resistance than smooth-shank in pine framing lumber -- the standard choice for sheathing, subfloor, and decking where pull-out matters.

• Type: 30 degree (+/- 2 deg) clipped head, paper-tape collated framing nails
• Size: 2-3/8" x .113"
• Shank: Ring Shank (8d-equivalent)
• Finish: Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) per ASTM A153 Class D -- approved for ACQ/CA-B/MCQ treated lumber and exterior service
• Point: Diamond point reduces splitting in dense or knotty lumber
• Pack: 2,000 nails per box
• Metabo HPT part 10495
• Fits: Metabo HPT NR83AA, NR83AA2, NR83AA3, RN90AA, NR90ADS1, NR90AC5, NR90AES1, plus any 30 to 34 degree paper-tape clipped-head framing nailer (common in the Bostitch, DeWalt, Senco, and Paslode lines)

Where to use: HDG ring-shank for fastening into or through ACQ/MCQ treated lumber -- deck ledgers, treated sill plates, treated bottom plates over concrete -- and for any sheathing exposed to weather during the build envelope-closure window. The hot-dip ASTM A153 Class D coating defends against the elevated copper content in modern treated-lumber preservatives that strips electroplated zinc within months. Match the HDG nail with HDG joist hangers and hold-down hardware so the corrosion class is uniform end-to-end.

Tip: Run a depth test on a scrap of the actual framing stock before driving the first wall. Heads should sit flush to a hair below flush -- over-driven heads in shear-wall, hold-down, or hurricane-tie patterns can be cause for a failed inspection. Match nail finish to fastener-corrosion class across hangers, straps, and ties so the whole assembly ages together.
