See page 14 for Strong-Drive Screw
information.
Strong-Tie nails and structural fasteners have been developed as the
optimum fasteners for connector products. Special lengths afford economy of purchase and
installation, and depth compatibility with framing members. Nail specifications include
head size, thickness, steel and shank design, and point configuration to ensure conformity
to published values.
For pneumatic nail use, see Instructions to the
Installer, page 5.

1. Allowable loads are based on the 1997 NDS. Adjustments are made
for use with metal side plates, Fes = 45 ksi- Loads under light gauge are for gauges
listed through 22 gauge. Allowable loads for gauges not Indicated must be calculated
according to the code. Contact the factory for more details.
2. N16, N20, N20AN and N54A fasteners may be ordered galvanized:
specify EG; for example N16EG.
3. Metric equivalents are listed by Diameter x Length.
4. EG = electro-galvanized; HDG = hot-dip galvanized; SS = stainless
steel; Bright = no finish; Zinc = Yellow zinc dichromate; GV= Green vinyl.
5. A 16d sinker, 12d common and a 10d common have the same load
value as an SS10D. A 16d common has the same load value as an SS16D. |
