16d common nail dwg

From construction applications to DIY projects, the 16D common nail is a versatile fastener with an extensive range of sizes and finishes. Boasting a diameter of 0.162 inches and a typical length of 3.25 inches, this steel fixture can come with galvanized, hot-dipped galvanized, and electro-galvanized coating for enhanced durability and wet-weather protection. If you require nails shorter or longer than the standard size, they are also available from 2 inches to 6 inches.

The 16d common nail holds a versatile purpose, serving as a binding agent for wood-to-wood, wood-to-concrete, concrete-to-concrete, and metal-to-wood or concrete. While it’s an effective solution in multiple scenarios, it should not be relied on for trusses or decking that will face heavy or recurrent loads.

The 16d common nail is made of low-carbon steel, which has been given heat treatment to give it extra hardness. The slim taper of the nail’s shank allows for straightforward insertion and guards against splitting of the timber. At the same time, the flat head features a wide circumference to avoid sinking through the wood.

For a reliable level of corrosion resistance, the 16d common nail comes in a choice of finishes: galvanized, hot-dipped galvanized, or electro-galvanized. The classic galvanized finish offers average protection from rust and oxidation. If added strength is needed, selecting the hot-dipped galvanized option will outfit the nail with more robust defense against corrosion. For ultimate resistance to rust, opting for electro-galvanization will give the longest lasting protection.

The 16d common nail is a highly versatile tool, capable of connecting different materials together – from wood to wood, wood to concrete, metal to wood or concrete, and even concrete to concrete. Despite its range of applications, it’s not the top choice when the fastener must withstand demanding loads – such as in trusses or decking.
