Simpson Strong-Tie S13A225SNC Ring-Shank Siding Nail 2-1/4″ 3600 Pack

Description

Product Overview

Simpson Strong-Tie’s S13A225SNC collated siding nail is engineered for demanding exterior applications where durability and precision matter. Constructed from Type 304 stainless steel, the nails resist corrosion in humid and coastal environments, extending the life of the fastener and the attached siding. The 2-1/4 inch length and 0.221 inch head diameter provide a balanced profile that drives smoothly without splitting the wood, while the flat head finishes flush with the surface for a clean appearance.

The ring‑shank design creates multiple points of contact within the wood fibers, dramatically increasing withdrawal resistance compared to smooth‑shank nails. This feature is essential for preventing nail pull‑out caused by wind uplift, thermal expansion, or structural movement. Additionally, the diamond point tip initiates penetration with minimal torque, reducing the risk of driver wear and allowing faster installation on both residential and commercial projects.

Each coil contains 3,600 nails, packaged in a compact, lightweight box that simplifies inventory management and on‑site handling. The collated format aligns the nails in a continuous strip, enabling rapid feeding into pneumatic nail guns without the need for manual sorting. This efficiency translates into higher productivity for contractors, reducing labor costs and project timelines.

Technical specifications include a weight of 16.5 pounds per box, dimensions of 9 x 5.9 x 13.2 inches, and a full round head that distributes load evenly across the siding panel. The product meets industry standards for fastener performance and is backed by Simpson Strong‑Tie’s reputation for quality and reliability.

Designed for compatibility with standard 15‑gauge wire coil nail guns, the S13A225SNC nails integrate seamlessly into existing toolsets. The packaging also includes clear labeling of size, material, and quantity, ensuring that crews can quickly verify they have the correct fastener before beginning work.

Usage

These nails excel in a variety of siding applications, including vinyl, wood, fiber‑cement, and engineered panels. Whether you are installing new construction siding or performing a retrofit on an existing structure, the corrosion‑resistant stainless steel composition protects against rust and staining, preserving the aesthetic integrity of the façade.

Ideal for residential homes, multi‑family dwellings, and light commercial buildings, the S13A225SNC nails are suited for climates ranging from dry inland regions to humid coastal zones. The ring‑shank’s superior pull‑out strength makes them a reliable choice for areas prone to high winds or seismic activity, where fastener failure could compromise the building envelope.

Contractors often pair these nails with adhesive sealants to further enhance water resistance and improve long‑term performance. The flat head’s low profile also reduces the likelihood of snagging on surrounding materials during installation, allowing for smoother operation in tight or confined spaces.
