The secure and efficient installation of asphalt shingles is paramount to the long-term performance and wind resistance of any roof system. 1-1/4″ Coil Roofing Nails EG Smooth Shank (7.2M), supplied by A1A Wholesale Supply, are engineered for high-volume, pneumatic shingle application. These high-performance nails are indispensable for roofing contractors, offering consistent and reliable holding power to withstand various weather conditions and contribute to a resilient roof, particularly when deeper penetration into the roof deck is desired.
The 1-1/4 inch length is a very common and versatile size for securing asphalt shingles to standard wood roof decks (e.g., plywood or OSB). This length provides slightly more penetration than a standard 1-inch roofing nail, which can be beneficial for certain deck materials or in areas where a more robust bite is preferred. The nail features a standard roofing nail shank diameter (typically around .120″ or 11 Gauge) and a crucial large, flat head (typically 3/8″ or 7/16″ diameter). This wide head is designed to compress the shingle firmly without cutting through, providing maximum surface contact for superior wind resistance.
These nails feature a smooth shank design, which allows for fast and easy penetration into common roofing substrates. This design is widely used for general shingle applications, offering a reliable hold for standard installation practices.
These nails feature an Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish. This process applies a thin, protective layer of zinc to the nail’s surface, offering basic corrosion resistance. EG coated roofing nails are a widely used and cost-effective option for standard asphalt shingle applications where building codes allow. While Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) or Stainless Steel (SS) options offer superior corrosion resistance for extreme environments or treated lumber, EG nails provide dependable protection against moisture in typical roofing installations.
These nails are supplied in coils, designed for high-volume, rapid-fire fastening with compatible pneumatic coil roofing nailers. This collation method significantly boosts productivity on large roofing jobs, ensuring consistent nail placement and depth. Each box contains 7,200 nails (7.2M), providing a substantial quantity for extensive roofing projects.
Common applications for 1-1/4″ Coil Roofing Nails EG Smooth Shank (7.2M) on a roofing contractor’s job site include:
- Asphalt Shingle Installation: Primary fastener for securing asphalt shingles to roof decks, especially where a deeper bite is desired.
- Roofing Underlayment Securement: Attaching asphalt felt paper or synthetic underlayments to roof sheathing with enhanced penetration.
- Flashing: Securely fastening certain types of metal or membrane flashing, such as drip edge, step flashing, or apron flashing where a slightly longer, wide-headed, and secure nail is suitable.
- Starter Strip Fastening: Ensuring the first course of shingles or starter strips are firmly anchored.
Supplied in bulk by the pallet, with 48 boxes per pallet, A1A Wholesale Supply ensures that contractors have a continuous, high-volume supply, reducing downtime for reordering and optimizing job site logistics.
