Ensuring the durability and wind resistance of a roof is paramount, and the right fasteners play a critical role. Huttig-Grip 1-1/4″ Coil Roofing Nails – EG Ring Shank (7.2M), available from A1A Wholesale Supply, provide a robust solution for fastening roofing materials where enhanced holding power is needed. These nails measure 1-1/4 inches in length with a standard .120-inch shank diameter, a common size for securely attaching asphalt shingles and other roofing materials to roof sheathing.
The key feature distinguishing these nails is the ring shank. Unlike smooth shank nails, the annular threads on the ring shank grip the wood fibers of the roof deck, creating significantly higher withdrawal resistance. This enhanced holding power is vital for securing shingles against wind uplift and meeting stringent building codes in areas prone to high winds.
These roofing nails feature an Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish. This provides a basic level of protection against rust and corrosion, making them suitable for roofing applications in many moderate climates. It’s important to understand that the EG finish offers less corrosion resistance than hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel fasteners and is not recommended for use in coastal environments, with treated lumber (such as ACQ), or in areas with severe or persistent moisture exposure, as these conditions can lead to premature corrosion. For demanding environments, fasteners with a higher level of corrosion protection should be used.
Designed for high-speed installation, these nails are collated in 15-degree wire coils. This standard collation type and angle is compatible with a wide range of pneumatic coil roofing nail guns, ensuring smooth and consistent feeding for efficient work on the roof. The nails are equipped with a large full round head (typically around 3/8″ in diameter), which provides a broad bearing surface to minimize pull-through of roofing materials.
Huttig-Grip is a trusted brand known for providing quality fasteners to meet the demands of professional contractors. These 1-1/4″ Coil Roofing Nails EG Ring Shank are supplied in 7.2M boxes (7,200 count), a standard bulk quantity that supports efficient workflow for roofing professionals on various projects. By choosing Huttig-Grip EG finish ring shank coil roofing nails from A1A Wholesale Supply, contractors can achieve secure shingle installation with enhanced wind resistance in suitable climates, all while benefiting from the efficiency of coil-fed pneumatic nailers.
