Metallics MN16S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Are Metallics MN16S nails Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The MN16S coated sinkers are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic sourcing clause, these will not satisfy it.
2) What is a 16D coated sinker nail used for on a framing job?
The Metallics MN16S is a 16D coated sinker nail in steel, intended for all types of rough-in wood construction. Sinkers have a flat head and a surface coating that eases driving, so they are the common choice for framing, blocking, nailing off plates and backing, and the general rough carpentry that happens before finishes go on.
3) How many nails come in a jar of Metallics MN16S, and how much does it weigh?
Each jar of MN16S holds 140 of the 16D coated sinkers and weighs 2.67 lbs. It ships in a jar pack, which is handy for a service truck or a job box rather than the loose bulk boxes framers buy by the pound.
4) Can I use the MN16S sinker nail for exterior or pressure treated work?
Stick to dry rough-in wood framing with these. The MN16S is plain steel with a drive coating, and the only application the spec gives is rough-in wood construction. For exterior exposure or treated lumber you want a hot dip galvanized or stainless nail instead.
5) Do I have to buy a case of MN16S nails, or can I order a single jar?
One jar is the minimum. The order minimum on the MN16S is 1 each, so a single 140-count jar is a valid order with no case quantity required.
6) Will a flat head sinker nail sit flush when I drive it in?
Yes. The MN16S has a flat head, which is the sinker profile meant to be driven flush or slightly below the wood surface without tearing up the face, so sheathing, plates and backing sit tight.
7) Can I get 16D coated sinkers from Metallics in a size or count other than the 140-jar?
Other sizes and quantities of these coated sinkers are available by request, so if you need a different penny size or a larger bulk count rather than the 140-piece jar, ask rather than assuming the jar is the only option.
8) What is the part number to order Metallics 16D coated sinker nails?
Order it as Metallics MN16S. That is the single model covering the 16D coated steel sinker in the 140-count jar.
