Common nails versus other nail types Common nails are thicker than box, cooler or sinker nails and are therefore strongest and stiffest. Common nails have larger nail shank diameters than other nails. Common nails are always specified for shear wall panels Although hot-dip galvanized box nails may be used for plywood sidings, use only common nails for wood structural panel shear walls. The figure shows the box label for the nails that should be used When you order gun nails, you must specify: 3 x 148 (shown on box) Watch out for gun nail boxes: Hand driven nails typically come in boxes labeled with the nail type. Boxes with nails for nail guns sometimes show only the length, diameter and finish. To verify the use of common nails, contractors and building inspectors must be familiar with nail diameter requirements. For example, if a gun nail box says 2-3/8 x.113 Smooth instead of 2-3/8 x.131 Smooth, the fastener is an 8d cooler nail instead of the 8d common. This is a common construction error. Sometimes phony boxes are left at a site to sidetrack an inspector - Learn to recognize nails Often contractors may want to cut corners on nails and use less expensive nails – do not cut corners. Nail sizes and diameters are shown in the Appendix.
