Metallics MN10C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size nail is the Metallics MN10C, and what is a 10d common nail used for?
The MN10C is a 10d bright common steel nail. A 10d common runs 3 inches long with a heavy shank, which is the standard framing nail for rough-in wood construction: studs, plates, joists, blocking, and nailing out backing for boxes and fixtures. Metallics lists the field application as all types of rough-in wood construction.
2) Can I use bright common nails outdoors or on treated lumber?
No. Bright is a bare, uncoated steel finish, so the MN10C is for dry interior rough-in work only. Exposed to weather or in contact with pressure treated lumber it will rust and the treatment chemicals will attack the steel. For those jobs use a hot dip galvanized or stainless common nail instead.
3) Do Metallics MN10C nails meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
No. The MN10C is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your job carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this nail will not satisfy it.
4) Are these loose nails or collated for a framing nailer?
These are loose hand drive nails in a jar, not paper or plastic collated strips, so they will not feed a pneumatic framing nailer. They are meant for hand nailing on rough-in wood work.
5) Should I use a 10d common or a smaller nail for nailing boxes and straps to studs?
A 10d common is a framing-weight nail, good for plates, blocking, and backing where you want full penetration into the stud. For fastening device boxes, cable straps, and clamps directly to framing, most electricians reach for a shorter 6d or 8d common or a box nail, since a 3 inch shank is longer than the fastening needs and can split narrow stock. Use the 10d where the structural hold matters.
6) Does the MN10C nail have a flat head, and does that matter for electrical rough-in?
Flat head, yes. A full flat common head gives maximum bearing surface for holding straps, nail-on boxes, and backing in place, and it sits proud enough to drive and pull if you need to adjust. It is the head type you want for structural rough-in rather than a finish or casing nail.
