Simpson Strong-Tie, a provider of engineered structural connectors and building solutions, now offers Strong-Drive structural-connector nails that have been designed as a pneumatically driven alternative to hand-driven nails.
The Strong-Drive 33-degree SCN Smooth-Shank nails and 33-degree SCNR Ring-Shank Connector nails are approved for use with Simpson Strong-Tie connectors and serve as replacements for 8d, 10d and 16d common hand-driven nails. These collated structural-connector nails are available in several sizes and coatings for installations in a variety of connector applications and environments, including interior, exterior, dry-service or corrosive.
Key features include:
- Full round head with embossed identifiers on SCN and SCNR Connector nails for easy recognition on the job site.
- SCN Smooth-Shank Connector nails are available in bright, hot-dip galvanized and electrogalvanized.
- SCNR Ring-Shank Connector nails are available in Type-316 stainless steel, and are an ideal choice for achieving maximum load values when used with Simpson Strong-Tie stainless-steel connectors and provide high corrosion resistance.
- Both are available in paper-collated strips and are compatible with popular pneumatic nailing systems.
