Efficient and precise fastening is crucial for many aspects of a roofing project. 1″ Electro-Galvanized Coil Roofing Nails (7,200 Count), available through A1A Wholesale Supply, are a fundamental fastener for roofing contractors. These nails are designed for rapid, consistent performance when used with pneumatic coil roofing nailers, making them an excellent choice for applications requiring a shorter, controlled penetration.
The 1 inch length of these roofing nails makes them particularly well-suited for specific applications such as fastening drip edge, starter strips, certain types of underlayment, or thin flashing where a longer nail might be unnecessary or undesirable. Most often, these EG coil roofing nails feature a smooth shank, which allows for easy and rapid driving, contributing to high installation speeds without excessive friction.
A key characteristic of these nails is their Electro-Galvanized (EG) finish. This process applies a thin layer of zinc to the nail’s surface, providing 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 by roofing materials. They are suitable for environments where local building codes allow for electro-galvanized fasteners, offering an economical choice for general roofing work.
These roofing nails are coil collated, typically with a 15-degree wire collation. This format is specifically engineered for use with most pneumatic coil roofing nailers from major brands, enabling contractors to efficiently fasten large quantities of materials without frequent reloading. Each nail is manufactured with a standard diameter, often around 0.120 inches (approximately 11 or 12 gauge), providing adequate strength for driving and holding, and a full round head or large flat head (around 3/8″ diameter) that provides ample bearing surface to securely hold down roofing materials.
Supplied in a substantial box containing 7,200 nails (7.2M), this quantity is designed to support significant portions of roofing projects, ensuring contractors have a steady supply of fasteners and minimizing downtime for material reordering. The nails are conveniently organized into multiple smaller coils within the box for easy handling and loading into nailer magazines. Master Fasteners is a brand known for providing a range of quality fastening solutions for construction professionals, including various types of roofing nails.
By choosing 1″ Electro-Galvanized Coil Roofing Nails (7,200 Count) from A1A Wholesale Supply, roofing contractors can access a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective fastener essential for productive and successful roofing installations, especially for those applications requiring precise shorter length nails.
