FRAMING NAIL, 30-DEGREE CLIPPED HEAD, RING SHANK - 2-3/8"Prime Source paper-tape collated 30-degree framing nails with annular ring shanks for pneumatic framing nailers. The clipped head packs more nails per strip than a round-head collation, and the ring shank grips the wood fiber so the nail resists pull-out under cyclic loading - the right pick for subfloors, sheathing, and decking where fasteners must stay seated.
- Length: 2-3/8" (8d)
- Shank: .113" annular ring shank
- Head: Clipped
- Collation: 30-degree paper tape
- Finish: Bright coated
- Applications: framing, sheathing, decking, subfloors, siding, fencing, and trusses
- Compatible with most 30-34 degree paper-tape framing nailers (Bostitch, DeWalt, Hitachi/Metabo HPT, Makita, Paslode, Porter-Cable, Ridgid, Senco)
Where to use: Subfloor sheathing over floor joists, exterior wall sheathing, and decking applications where 8d (2-3/8") nails are spec but smooth-shank pull-out is a concern - the annular rings lock the nail against cyclic moisture movement.
Smooth vs Ring Shank: Smooth-shank nails drive easier and pull straight - the right pick for structural framing where the connection is in shear (studs, plates, headers). Ring-shank nails resist pull-out under cyclic loading - the right pick for subfloors, sheathing, and exterior decking where wet/dry cycling otherwise backs nails out.
Finish Tip: Bright-coated nails are intended for interior, dry-service framing. For pressure-treated lumber (ACQ/CA), cedar, redwood, or exterior exposed connections, switch to a hot-dip galvanized or stainless framing nail to avoid corrosion-driven failure of the connection.
