Efficient and reliable fastening is essential for any roofing project. Huttig-Grip 1-1/4″ Coil Roofing Nails – EG Finish (7.2M), available from A1A Wholesale Supply, provide a practical and economical solution for fastening asphalt shingles and other roofing materials to roof sheathing. These nails measure 1-1/4 inches in length with a standard .120-inch shank diameter, a common size for securely attaching shingles to various sheathing thicknesses.
These roofing nails feature a smooth shank. While smooth shanks offer less withdrawal resistance compared to ring or screw shanks, they provide easy and consistent driving, which is often preferred for the high-speed installation of asphalt shingles with pneumatic tools.
The Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish provides a thin layer of zinc coating, offering basic protection against rust and corrosion. This makes them suitable for roofing applications in many moderate climates where prolonged exposure to salt spray or other highly corrosive elements is not a primary concern. It is important to note that EG finish is not recommended for use in coastal areas, with treated lumber (such as ACQ), or in environments where severe or persistent moisture is expected, as the coating may not provide adequate long-term corrosion resistance in these conditions. For demanding environments, Hot-Dip Galvanized or Stainless Steel roofing nails are typically required.
Designed for use with pneumatic roofing nailers, these nails are collated in 15-degree wire coils. This standard collation angle and type ensure smooth and consistent feeding through compatible 15-degree coil roofing nail guns, allowing for rapid and efficient installation across the roof. The nails feature a large full round head (typically around 3/8″ in diameter), which is crucial for providing a wide bearing surface against the roofing material, significantly reducing the risk of pull-through, especially with asphalt shingles.
