Truss Nails
Truss nails are used in conjunction with metal connector plates to connect pre-fabricated light-frame wood trusses and provide a strong, secure connection between the wooden components.
Features
- These nails feature a large, flat head to provide a wide bearing surface that prevents the nail from pulling through the wood.
- They have a diamond-shaped point that helps to reduce splitting as the nail is driven into the wood frame.
- Truss nails feature steel construction with hot-dipped galvanised finish to reduce oxidation and protect from rust and corrosion.
- They are available in smooth / barbed type shank options and have a maximum gauge (diameter) size of 10-1/2 inches.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install truss nails?
Truss nails can be installed using a pneumatic nail gun or hammer. They must be driven straight to reach the correct depth and also prevent damage to the wood.
How many truss nails should I use in my application?
The number of truss nails will depend on the specific design of the truss. However, it is recommended to use at least two nails at each connection point, spaced evenly apart for a secure connection.
What is the difference between a smooth and a barbed shank?
- Smooth Shank: This type of truss nail has a straight, smooth surface along its length. It is commonly used in applications where the nail is subjected to lateral forces, such as framing or sheathing of the truss, as the smooth surface prevents the nail from pulling out.
- Barbed Shank: A barbed-style truss nail is used in applications where the nail will be subject to tension forces, like the construction of roof trusses. The barbs help to provide extra holding power and prevent the nail from backing out over time.
