Hardened Steel Masonry Nails for Light-Duty Wood-to-Concrete and Brick Fixing

Product Information

Masonry Nails, also called Concrete Nails, are hardened steel fasteners used for light-duty attachment of wood battens, furring strips and compatible fixtures to sound brick, concrete and mortar joints. Their hardened body is designed to resist bending during hammer driving, while grooved or fluted shank options improve mechanical engagement in suitable masonry substrates.

Concrete, brick and mortar vary considerably in density and condition. Fastener length, shank style and installation method must match the substrate and attachment. Mortar joints generally provide less predictable holding than sound concrete or brick, so a site test and the project specification are important. Masonry nails are not substitutes for rated anchors in structural, overhead, guardrail or other safety-critical connections.

Drive masonry nails with a Claw Hammer or Masonry Hammer using controlled square blows. A masonry drill may be used only to form a correctly sized shallow starter or pilot hole where the substrate is dense or prone to surface spalling; it is not used to drive the nail. Wear safety glasses because hardened nails or masonry can chip, and do not install into cracked material, near unsupported edges or where the substrate cannot provide reliable holding.

Features & Benefits

• HARDENED STEEL BODY - Designed to resist bending during controlled hammer driving into compatible masonry substrates.
• GROOVED OR FLUTED SHANK - Shank profiles improve mechanical engagement in sound concrete, brick and mortar applications.
• WOOD-TO-MASONRY FIXING - Suitable for light-duty attachment of battens, furring strips and compatible wood components.
• HAMMER-DRIVEN INSTALLATION - Installed with a Claw Hammer or Masonry Hammer, with no powered driving tool required.
• OPTIONAL SHALLOW PILOT - A masonry bit can form a starter hole in dense or brittle surfaces before hand driving.
• CLEAR LOAD LIMITS - Intended for light-duty fixing, not rated structural, overhead or safety-critical anchoring.
