When constructing structural elements like walls, floors, and roofs, the strength and durability of the fasteners are paramount. Huttig-Grip 2 3/8″ x .113 Ring Shank Plastic Strip Fasteners, available from A1A Wholesale Supply, are engineered to provide exceptional holding power for these critical applications. These nails are 2 3/8 inches in length with a .113-inch shank diameter, commonly referred to as 8d nails, a standard size for many framing tasks.

A key feature of these Huttig-Grip fasteners is their ring shank. The series of annular rings along the shank create a powerful friction grip with the wood fibers as the nail is driven, significantly increasing withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank nails. This superior holding power is vital for structural integrity and preventing fastener pull-out, especially in applications subject to wind or seismic forces.

The nails are organized in plastic strips with a common collation angle of 21 degrees. This plastic strip collation is designed for use with a wide range of 21-degree (and often 20-22 degree) plastic strip framing nail guns, allowing for fast and efficient sequential or contact fastening on the job site. The plastic collation breaks away cleanly upon firing, minimizing job site debris.

The finish of these nails is crucial for determining their suitability for different environments. Common finishes for this type of nail include bright (for interior, dry use), electro-galvanized (EG) for basic corrosion resistance in sheltered exterior applications, and hot-dip galvanized (HDG) for superior corrosion resistance in harsh exterior environments or when fastening treated lumber, as often required by building codes. The specific finish (e.g., Bright, EG, HDG) should be selected based on the requirements of the application and local building codes.

Huttig-Grip is a trusted brand in the fastener industry, known for providing a comprehensive range of high-quality collated fasteners. These 2 3/8″ x .113 Ring Shank Plastic Strip fasteners are typically supplied in boxes containing 5,000 nails (indicated as 5M, where M represents 1000 in the fastener industry), providing ample supply for large-scale construction projects. By choosing Huttig-Grip plastic strip collated nails from A1A Wholesale Supply, contractors can ensure strong, reliable connections and efficient workflow.
