Metallics MN8C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size nail is the Metallics MN8C, and how long is an 8d common nail?
The MN8C is an 8d bright common steel nail. In the common nail sizing system, 8d works out to 2-1/2 inches long, which is the size typically called for when face-nailing 2x framing and rough-in wood work.
2) Are bright common nails okay for outdoor or damp locations?
No. A bright finish is bare, uncoated steel with no corrosion protection, so the MN8C belongs in dry interior rough-in framing. For exterior walls, pressure treated lumber, or anywhere exposed to moisture, use a hot dipped galvanized or stainless nail instead.
3) Do Metallics MN8C nails meet Buy American or ARRA requirements for a federal job?
No. The MN8C is not Buy American compliant and is not ARRA compliant, with country of origin listed as multiple. If your contract carries a domestic-sourcing clause, this nail will not satisfy it.
4) What is the MN8C bright common nail actually used for on an electrical rough-in?
It is specified for all types of rough-in wood construction, so it covers the framing-side work an electrician or GC hits before drywall: nailing blocking and backing for device boxes and fixtures, securing nailing plates and straps to studs and joists, and general stud and plate nailing.
5) How many nails come in a box of Metallics MN8C?
They ship as a box of 220 nails, and the box is the pack type, with a one-each order minimum, so you can buy a single box rather than a case.
6) Do these nails have a flat head, or are they finish nails?
Flat head, which is what a common nail is. The broad flat head bears on the wood surface and gives full holding power, so it is meant to be left proud rather than set and puttied the way a finish nail would be.
7) How much does a box of MN8C nails weigh, and what are the carton dimensions?
A box runs 2.63 lbs, with stated dimensions of 3.5 in length, 3.5 in width and 5.75 in height. Useful if you are planning van stock or a kitted material pull.
8) Can I get 8d bright common nails in a different size or larger quantity?
Yes. Other sizes and quantities in the Metallics bright common line are available by request, so if you need a 16d for heavier framing or a bulk quantity beyond the 220 count box, that can be sourced.
