Metallics MN16SP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a 16D coated sinker nail used for on a framing job?
The Metallics MN16SP is a 16D coated sinker in steel, intended for all types of rough-in wood construction. Sinkers are the common choice for stud framing, plates, blocking, and nailing off backing in wood construction. The coating is there to speed penetration, so the nail drives with less resistance into dry lumber.
2) Are these coated sinkers suitable for exterior or treated-lumber work?
These are steel nails with a drive coating, not a galvanized or stainless corrosion finish, so keep them to interior, dry rough-in framing. For exterior exposure or pressure-treated lumber, specify a hot-dip galvanized or stainless fastener instead.
3) Do these 16D nails meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a public project?
No. The MN16SP is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this pail will not satisfy it.
4) Do Metallics MN16SP sinker nails have a flat head or a checkered countersink head?
Flat head. The MN16SP is a flat-head coated sinker, which is what lets it be driven flush or slightly below the lumber surface without the head standing proud of a plate or stud face.
5) How are the MN16SP 16D nails packaged, and how much does a pail weigh?
They ship in a pail of 520 nails, and the pail runs 9.68 lbs. Pail footprint is 8.12 x 6.37 x 8.5 inches, so it sits easily in a gang box or on a cart. Order minimum is one each, meaning you can buy a single pail.
6) Are these loose hand-drive nails or collated for a framing gun?
Loose bulk nails in a pail, not a collated strip or coil. They are for hand driving in rough-in wood framing. If you are feeding a pneumatic framing nailer, you need collated 16D strips or coils instead.
7) Can I get 16D sinkers in a different size or pack quantity than the 520-count pail?
Other sizes and quantities of these coated sinkers are available by request. The MN16SP itself is the single catalogued configuration, 16D in a 520-count pail.
