Metallics MN3TM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics MN3TM masonry nail hold in poured concrete and block?
That is what it's built for. The MN3TM is a heat tempered fluted masonry nail in steel, made to drive into concrete and other masonry products. The fluted shank cuts into the base material and the heat treatment is what keeps a 3 inch steel nail from bending or shattering on a hard pour. It is used across electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning work for fastening to concrete and masonry.
2) How long is the MN3TM nail, and what thickness of material can I fasten with it?
Fastener length is 3 inches. Figure on roughly 3/4 to 1 inch of embedment into concrete for a masonry nail, so a 3 inch nail leaves you a good 2 inches of grip length for strapping, furring, conduit straps or plate stock. If you are only pinning thin conduit clips flat to a wall, a shorter masonry nail is the better pick, and Metallics offers other lengths in the same style.
3) Is the MN3TM nail Buy American or ARRA compliant for a government job?
No. The MN3TM 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 nail will not satisfy it and you need a domestically produced masonry nail instead.
4) How many nails come in a jar of Metallics MN3TM?
Each jar holds 135 of the 3 inch nails, and the jar weighs 2.62 lbs. The pack type is a jar, so it is the usual screw-top container that stays closed in a gang box or on a cart rather than a loose bag.
5) Can I order a single jar of MN3TM masonry nails, or is there a case minimum?
One is the minimum. Order minimum is 1 each, so a single 135 count jar is a valid order. Other sizes and quantities in the same fluted masonry nail style can be requested if you are standardizing a crew or a stockroom.
6) Should I use a masonry nail like this or a concrete screw for attaching conduit straps to block?
A hand-driven masonry nail is the fast, no-drill option for light attachments like conduit straps, furring and strapping, which is exactly the electrical, plumbing and HVAC work the MN3TM is aimed at. It is a one-way fastener though, so if the assembly needs to come apart or be adjusted later, or you are into hollow block webs where a driven nail can blow out the face, a drilled screw anchor is the better call.
7) Are Metallics MN3TM masonry nails hardened, or will they bend on hard concrete?
They're heat tempered steel, which is the whole point of the design. A plain common steel nail will bend or mushroom on a cured pour. The heat treatment on the MN3TM gives the shank the hardness to drive without deforming, and the flutes relieve stress in the hole as it goes in. Hardened nails are brittle by nature, so eye protection is standard practice when driving them.
