Efficient and effective fastening is paramount for productive roofing operations. 1-1/4″ Electro-Galvanized Coil Roofing Nails (7,200 Count), available through A1A Wholesale Supply, are a staple fastener for roofing contractors across the nation. These nails are designed for rapid, consistent performance when used with pneumatic coil roofing nailers, making them an excellent choice for the majority of asphalt shingle installations.
The 1-1/4 inch length of these roofing nails is a widely accepted and very common size for fastening asphalt shingles to typical roof decking materials such as plywood or OSB, ensuring proper penetration for secure attachment. Most often, these EG coil roofing nails feature a smooth shank, which facilitates easy and rapid driving, significantly contributing to high installation speeds and maximizing productivity on the job site.
A key characteristic of these nails is their Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish. This process applies a thin, protective layer of zinc to the nail’s surface, offering basic corrosion resistance. While not as robust as hot-dip galvanization (HDG) or stainless steel, EG coatings are typically sufficient for many standard exterior applications, particularly in mild to moderate weather conditions where the nails are largely covered and protected by the roofing materials. They are suitable for environments where local building codes allow for electro-galvanized fasteners, providing a practical and economical choice for general roofing work.
These roofing nails are coil collated, generally with a 15-degree wire collation. This format is specifically engineered for use with the vast majority of pneumatic coil roofing nailers from leading brands, enabling contractors to efficiently fasten large quantities of materials without frequent reloading. Each nail is manufactured with a standard 0.120-inch shank diameter (approximately 11 or 12 gauge), providing ample strength for driving and holding power, and a full round head or large flat head (around 3/8″ diameter) that provides sufficient bearing surface to effectively secure roofing materials without pull-through.
Common applications for these nails include the installation of asphalt shingles, roofing felt (underlayment), and other non-structural roofing components to wood roof decks. They are a practical choice for general roofing work where a balance of performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness is desired.
Supplied in a substantial box containing 7,200 nails (7.2M), this quantity is designed to support significant portions of roofing projects, minimizing interruptions for reloading and ensuring a steady workflow for roofing crews. Master Fasteners is a brand known for providing a range of quality fastening solutions trusted by construction professionals, including various types of roofing nails.
