All galvanized nails supplied by MiTek are hot-dipped for greater corrosion resistance. Any MiTek connector requiring a NA16D-RS or NA20D nail is shipped with the nails attached to the connector in convenient poly bags.

Installation

  • Allowable shear values assume nail embedment into the wood of the entire nail or 10 nail diameters (whichever is less). Otherwise, the nail must be embedded at least 6 nail diameters, with the load reduced using this equation: Reduced Load = (Published Load x Actual Penetration) divided by (Nail Diameter x 10)
  • Load reductions may occur if nails are used other than those specified. See the load table Optional Nails for Face Mount Hangers for load reduction factors regarding nail substitutions.
