Metallics MN16HG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can Metallics MN16HG 16D nails be used outdoors or in damp locations?
Yes. The MN16HG is a hot galvanized box nail, and the galvanized coating is what makes it suitable for exterior areas affected by water and humidity. The nail body is steel under the coating, so the galvanizing is doing the corrosion work. For interior dry framing a bright nail is the cheaper choice; pay for galvanized where weather, splash, or high humidity reach the fastener.
2) What is the difference between a 16D box nail and a 16D common nail?
Same length class, different shank. A box nail like the Metallics MN16HG uses a thinner shank than a common nail of the same penny size, so it is less likely to split trim, fascia, and thinner exterior stock. A common nail has more shank diameter and more withdrawal and shear capacity, which is what structural framing calls for. If a drawing or inspector calls out 16D common, a box nail is not a substitute.
3) Are Metallics MN16HG nails Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The MN16HG is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries a domestic sourcing requirement, this nail will not clear it and you need a domestically produced fastener instead.
4) How many nails come in a jar of Metallics MN16HG and how much does it weigh?
The MN16HG ships as a jar of 135 nails, weighing 2.64 lbs. Minimum order is one jar, so a single container is orderable for a small punch list rather than having to take a case.
5) Does the Metallics MN16HG have a flat head, and does that matter for finish work?
It is a flat head nail. A flat head sits on the surface and gives full holding power against the face of the material, which is what you want for sheathing, fencing, and exterior utility work. It is not a finish or casing nail, so it will not set below the surface and disappear under filler. For trim you want a finish nail instead.
6) Can I get 16D hot galvanized box nails in a different size or larger quantity?
Yes. Metallics offers other sizes and quantities of this hot galvanized box nail by request beyond the 135-count jar of the MN16HG. If you are nailing off a large exterior run, ask for the bulk pack rather than buying jars.
7) What part number do I order for Metallics 16D hot galvanized box nails?
Order MN16HG. That is the Metallics manufacturer part number for the 16D hot galvanized steel box nail supplied in a 135-count jar, and it is the only configuration under that number.
