In regions with severe weather and high wind regulations like the Miami-Dade High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), the integrity of the roofing system begins with the secure attachment of the underlayment. Huttig-Grip 1-5/8″ Tin Caps – Ring Shank System – Miami-Dade Approved, available in convenient 50lb bulk boxes from A1A Wholesale Supply, are specifically engineered and approved to meet these demanding standards.

These fasteners consist of durable 1-5/8 inch diameter metal (tin) caps that are designed to be installed with hand-drive ring shank nails. The combination of the wide cap and the ring shank nail creates a fastening system with significantly increased pull-through resistance compared to using nails alone. This is crucial for preventing wind uplift from detaching the underlayment, a critical layer of protection for the roof deck.

The Miami-Dade approval signifies that this Huttig-Grip tin cap system has undergone rigorous testing and meets the strict requirements of the Florida Building Code, including the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. This provides essential assurance to roofing contractors that they are using a product proven to perform in extreme wind conditions. While the tin caps themselves are 1-5/8″ in diameter, they are intended for use with appropriately sized hand-drive ring shank nails, typically 1-1/4″ or 1-5/8″ in length, depending on the specific application and code requirements for penetration into the roof deck. The finish of the caps and the recommended nails (often Hot-Dipped Galvanized or Electro-Galvanized as per the NOA) provides corrosion resistance suitable for exterior exposure.

Huttig-Grip is a trusted national brand known for supplying reliable fasteners that meet industry standards and contractor needs. These 1-5/8″ Tin Caps are packaged in 50lb boxes, a standard bulk quantity for hand-drive fasteners, providing ample supply for large roofing projects in high-wind areas. A 50lb box typically contains a significant quantity of caps, approximately 12,500 based on common counts for this size. Roofing contractors relying on traditional hand-nailing methods for underlayment will find these Miami-Dade approved tin caps an essential component for code compliance and ensuring a robust roof assembly.

By choosing Huttig-Grip 1-5/8″ Tin Caps – Ring Shank System – Miami-Dade Approved from A1A Wholesale Supply, roofing contractors can confidently install underlayment in high-wind zones, meeting stringent building code requirements with a reliable, approved fastening system that enhances the overall durability and performance of the roof.
