Metallics MN20D50 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How many nails come in a box of Metallics MN20D50 20D common nails, and what does the box weigh?
The MN20D50 ships as a 50 lb carton holding roughly 1,100 nails. Metallics packages both 20D and 30D common nails in 50 lb cartons, so this is a bulk framing quantity, not a handful-sized box. Order minimum is 1 each, meaning one 50 lb box.
2) Are 20D bright common nails OK for exterior or treated lumber work?
No. A bright finish is bare, uncoated steel with no galvanizing or other corrosion protection, so the MN20D50 should stay in dry interior framing. For exterior decks, sill plates, or ACQ/treated lumber, use a hot dipped galvanized or stainless common nail in the same 20D size instead.
3) Is the Metallics MN20D50 nail box Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No on both counts. The MN20D50 is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your project carries domestic sourcing requirements, this part will not satisfy them.
4) What is a 20D common nail used for on a framing job?
20D is a 4 inch common nail with a thick shank and a flat head, used for heavy framing: built-up beams and girders, laminating multiple 2x members, post and timber connections, and bracing. The flat head on the MN20D50 sits flush and gives a solid driving surface for a framing hammer. For general 2x stud and plate nailing most crews drop to 16D.
5) Can these be run through a framing nailer or are they hand drive nails?
These are loose bulk nails in a box, not collated strips or coils, so they are hand driven. A pneumatic framing nailer needs paper or plastic collated sticks or wire coils. Buy the MN20D50 for hand nailing and for the heavy connections a nailer will not reach.
6) What is the difference between the 20D and 30D bright common nails from Metallics?
Size, not construction. Both are bright uncoated steel common nails with flat heads, and Metallics cartons both in 50 lb boxes. The MN20D50 is the 20D (4 inch) size; 30D is longer and heavier gauge, so it goes deeper for thicker built-up assemblies. Nail count per 50 lb box drops as the size goes up, so the 20D carton holds about 1,100 pieces.
7) How big is the carton of MN20D50 nails for shelving or storage planning?
The carton measures 19 x 8.25 x 8 inches and weighs 50 lbs. That is a dense, single-man-lift box, so plan for a low shelf or pallet position rather than overhead storage in a stockroom.
