The long-term performance and wind resistance of any asphalt shingle roof, especially those with multiple layers or thicker underlying materials, depend critically on the quality and securement of its fasteners. 1-3/4″ Electro-Galvanized (EG) Ring Shank Coil Roofing Nails, available in bulk by the pallet from A1A Wholesale Supply, are engineered for high-volume, pneumatic shingle application. These extended-length, high-performance nails are indispensable for roofing contractors, offering superior holding power to withstand harsh weather and contribute to a resilient roof system.

The 1-3/4 inch length provides significantly increased penetration into the roof deck compared to standard 1″ or 1-1/4″ roofing nails. This extra length makes them particularly suitable for:

• Multi-layer shingle installations: Ensuring secure fastening through two layers of shingles into the deck.
• Thicker underlayments: Providing adequate penetration when using thicker roofing felt or robust synthetic underlayments.
• Re-roofing over existing shingles: When permitted, securing new shingles through old ones into the decking.
• High-wind zones: Offering enhanced grip to meet stricter building codes.

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.

The defining characteristic of these nails is their ring shank design. The series of concentric rings along the shank dramatically increases the nail’s surface area in contact with the wood fibers, providing superior withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank roofing nails. This enhanced grip is paramount in preventing shingle blow-off during high winds and ensuring the long-term integrity of the roof system.

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 1-3/4″ Electro-Galvanized Ring Shank Coil Roofing Nails on a roofing contractor’s job site include:

• Asphalt Shingle Installation: Primary fastener for securing asphalt shingles, especially in multi-layer applications or with thicker deck materials.
• Roofing Underlayment Securement: Attaching thicker roofing felt or synthetic underlayments to roof sheathing with enhanced grip.
• Flashing: Securely fastening certain types of metal or membrane flashing, such as step flashing or apron flashing, requiring deeper penetration and strong hold.
• Re-Roofing: When fastening new shingles over existing layers (where permissible by code).

Supplied in bulk by the pallet, these nails ensure that contractors have a continuous, high-volume supply, reducing downtime for reordering and optimizing job site logistics. Striker is a brand known for providing a range of reliable fastening solutions trusted by construction professionals for efficiency, holding power, and performance in roofing applications.

By choosing 1-3/4″ Electro-Galvanized Ring Shank Coil Roofing Nails from A1A Wholesale Supply, roofing contractors can confidently install durable, wind-resistant roof systems, particularly those requiring deeper penetration and enhanced holding power, with efficient, high-performance fasteners.
