Metallics MN7HGB Nails 7D Hot Galv Box Steel (Box 8565)

The MN7HGB is a hot galvanized steel box nail, so the zinc coating gives it corrosion resistance that bright steel nails don't have. That makes it the right pick for exterior sheathing, fencing, framing in damp crawl spaces, and other locations where a plain nail would rust and bleed through. Note it is hot galvanized, not stainless, so it is not intended for direct saltwater exposure.

The MN7HGB is flagged as both Buy American compliant and ARRA compliant in the manufacturer's product data. Country of origin is listed as multiple, so if your contract requires a specific country of manufacture documented per lot, that is a submittal item rather than something the catalog designation settles.

Same length, different shank. A box nail like the Metallics MN7HGB uses a thinner shank than a common nail of the same penny size, so it is far less likely to split thin stock, trim, or board sheathing. The tradeoff is lower shear capacity, so where a structural connector or a load-bearing framing connection is specified, a common nail is the correct choice instead.

It ships as a 50 lb box. Pack type is listed as Box, and the carton measures 16 x 12 x 12 inches. Worth knowing before you spec it for a service van or a single repair, since 50 lb of 7d nails is a jobsite or shop quantity rather than a handful.

No. Order minimum on the MN7HGB is 1 each, so you can take a single 50 lb box.

Other sizes and quantities of the Metallics hot galvanized box nail are available by request. The MN7HGB as catalogued is the 7d size in a 50 lb box, so if you need an 8d or 16d, or a smaller carton for a service truck, ask for the alternate size rather than ordering this one.

Order Metallics MN7HGB. That is the manufacturer part number for the 7d hot galvanized steel box nail in a box. There is a single configuration under that number, so there is no finish or size option to specify.
