Metallics MN112J50LB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use regular common nails in a joist hanger instead of these?
No. A common nail of the same length is a thinner shank and will not develop the shear the hanger was tested with, and a 16d common is too long for most hanger faces. The MN112J50LB is purpose made for that application: 9 gauge shank, 1-1/2 inch length, so it fills the hanger hole and stays inside the thickness of the supporting member.
2) Are these Metallics joist hanger nails galvanized or plain steel?
Plain steel. The MN112J50LB is a steel joist hanger nail, so it suits dry interior framing. For exterior decks, pressure treated lumber, or anything exposed to moisture, order a hot dip galvanized or stainless hanger nail instead to match the connector's coating.
3) Will a 1-1/2 inch joist hanger nail penetrate deep enough into a 2x header?
Yes for the hanger face into nominal 2x material. At 1-1/2 inches the nail seats through the hanger flange and into the header without blowing through the back of a 1-1/2 inch thick member, which is why the short hanger nail exists rather than a 10d or 16d. If your drawing calls for full length nails into a double header, that is a different, longer fastener.
4) Is this one nail or a box, and how is the Metallics MN112J50LB ordered?
It is ordered by the single catalog number MN112J50LB, with no size, finish, or length options to pick, so there is one part number to put on the purchase order for the 1-1/2 inch 9 gauge steel joist hanger nail.
