Metallics MN8S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size nail is the Metallics MN8S, and what is it used for?
The MN8S is an 8d coated sinker nail in steel, with a flat head. Metallics lists it for all types of rough-in wood construction, so it is a framing and general carpentry nail rather than a finish nail. The cement-type coating helps it drive faster and hold in wood.
2) Are Metallics MN8S sinker nails acceptable on a Buy American or ARRA-funded job?
No. The MN8S coated sinker nails are not Buy American compliant and are not ARRA compliant, and country of origin is listed as multiple. On a federally funded project with domestic sourcing requirements you will need a different nail.
3) How are the Metallics 8d sinker nails packaged, and how much does a jar weigh?
They come in a jar of 340 nails. The packaged weight is 2.63 lbs, and the jar measures 5.75 in by 3.5 in by 3.5 in, so it fits a van shelf or gang box without repacking. Minimum order is 1 each.
4) Is a coated sinker the right nail for hanging electrical boxes and straps during rough-in?
Yes, that is the intended use. Metallics catalogs the MN8S for all types of rough-in wood construction, which is where an electrician uses an 8d sinker: nailing device boxes, bracket hangers, straps and blocking to studs and joists. The flat head seats flush against sheet-metal box ears, and the coating drives it faster in dry lumber.
5) Are these coated sinkers okay for outdoor or wet locations?
Treat them as interior fasteners. The MN8S is plain steel with a cement coating, not galvanized or stainless, so exterior exposure, pressure-treated lumber or damp locations will rust them. For those conditions use a hot-dip galvanized or stainless nail instead.
6) Can I get the Metallics coated sinker nails in a different penny size or a bigger container?
The MN8S itself is the 8d size in a 340-count jar. Metallics notes that other sizes and quantities are available by request, so if you need 6d, 10d or 16d sinkers or a bulk box instead of a jar, ask for those.
