KYA 1.80×18mm plastic sheet coil nails are compact 15-degree collated fasteners with a smooth shank, diamond point and bright finish. The featured nail has a nominal 1.80mm / .071" shank diameter, 18mm / .71" length and 4.5mm head diameter.
Each plastic-sheet coil contains 300 nails, with 40 coils listed per carton. The compact 18mm length and fine 1.80mm shank make this product substantially smaller than common roofing, siding and framing coil nails, so tool compatibility and application suitability must be checked by the complete fastener dimensions rather than the term "15-degree coil nail" alone.
This exact product is the bright-finish, smooth-shank KYA-1.8X18M. KYA also supplies related plastic-sheet coil nails in other lengths, shank profiles and surface treatments, but those configurations should be specified separately.

| Required Tool | Plastic-sheet coil nailer specifically rated for 1.80mm diameter × 18mm length fasteners and the corresponding coil geometry |
The featured KYA nail combines an 18mm leg with a fine 1.80mm smooth shank. Its short length distinguishes it from larger coil nails commonly used for structural framing, conventional siding, roofing and heavy pallet construction.
Plastic-sheet collation holds the nails in coil form for sequential feeding through a compatible pneumatic nailer. The nail separates from the plastic carrier during the driving cycle.
The featured nail uses a 1.80mm / .071" smooth shank. This is significantly finer than many conventional siding, framing, pallet and roofing coil nails. Tool selection should therefore be based on the actual shank diameter rather than the general term "coil nailer."
At approximately .71" long, this nail is intended for relatively thin fastening assemblies where an 18mm fastener provides the required penetration. It should not automatically replace the longer coil nails normally specified for structural framing, standard siding, decking or roof sheathing.
The exact KYA product lists a 4.5mm head diameter. Head size is an important compatibility parameter because the magazine, feed system and nose assembly of the nailer must accommodate the complete fastener geometry.
The diamond point provides a defined penetrating tip for driving into suitable wood and wood-based materials. Final penetration depends on substrate density, tool energy and installation conditions.
The nails are assembled on a flexible plastic carrier at a nominal 15-degree angle. Plastic-sheet collation and wire-welded collation are different feeding systems and should not be treated as interchangeable.
KYA lists 300 nails in each coil for this exact configuration. Forty coils per carton correspond to 12,000 nails per carton.
Bright fasteners are uncoated steel fasteners without a protective zinc coating. They are best specified for dry, protected applications where additional corrosion protection is not required.
For applications exposed to moisture, weather, treated lumber or corrosive environments, select a fastener with a surface treatment or material appropriate for the project rather than substituting this bright-finish SKU.
The broader 15-degree plastic-sheet coil nail category includes products for siding, fencing, sheathing, decking and other construction work. Those applications commonly use nails that are substantially longer and thicker than this 1.80×18mm model.
For the exact KYA-1.8X18M, select the application according to the material thickness, required penetration, holding requirement and nailer specification.
Light wood-component fastening where an 18mm nail is specified
Thin panels and wood-based materials where the available penetration is suitable
Light packaging and assembly applications using the matching plastic-sheet coil nailer
OEM manufacturing processes already using 1.80×18mm plastic-collated nails
Replacement applications where the existing fastener matches KYA-1.8X18M dimensions
Do not specify this nail for structural framing, conventional roof sheathing, standard deck construction or full-size siding installation unless the relevant system specifically calls for a 1.80×18mm fastener.
The term "15-degree plastic sheet coil nail" covers a wide range of fastener dimensions. Common plastic-sheet siding and framing nails are often much larger than this 18mm KYA product.
| Parameter | KYA 1.80×18mm | Common Larger Plastic-Sheet Siding Nail |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 18mm / .71" | Often approximately 1-3/4" to 2-1/2" |
| Shank Diameter | 1.80mm / .071" | Often approximately .090"–.092" or otherwise tool-specific |
| Shank | Smooth | Smooth or Ring depending on application |
| Collation | 15° Plastic Sheet | 15° Plastic Sheet |
| Selection Method | Match exact nail dimensions, material thickness and tool | Follow siding / framing system and nailer requirements |
A matching 15-degree angle does not make two coil nails interchangeable. Length, shank diameter, head diameter, collation type and magazine geometry must all correspond to the tool.
| Feature | Plastic Sheet Collation | Wire-Weld Collation |
|---|---|---|
| Collation Material | Plastic carrier sheet | Metal collation wires |
| Tool Feed System | Tool must accept plastic-sheet coil geometry | Tool must accept wire-weld coil geometry |
| Interchangeability | Not automatically interchangeable with wire coils | Not automatically interchangeable with plastic-sheet coils |
| Compatibility Check | Angle, length, diameter, head, carrier and coil geometry | Angle, length, diameter, head and wire collation geometry |
This 1.80×18mm plastic-sheet fastener requires a nailer specifically designed to feed its small dimensions and plastic carrier. Several common 15-degree coil nailers do not accept this fastener even though their magazine angle is similar.
| Tool | Published Fastener Range | KYA 1.80×18mm |
|---|---|---|
| MAX CN55 | 25–57mm length, 2.1–2.3mm diameter, wire-welded coils | Not within published fastener range |
| Metabo HPT NV45AB2 | 7/8"–1-3/4", .120" roofing nails, wire collation | Not within published fastener range |
| SENCO SCN45 | Published coil nail range begins at approximately 32mm | 18mm length is outside published range |
| BOSTITCH N55CD | Legacy industrial coil nailer | Do not assume compatibility; verify original fastener specification and plastic-sheet feed geometry |
| Other 15° Coil Nailers | Varies by manufacturer and model | Must accept 1.80mm × 18mm plastic-sheet nails with 4.5mm head and matching coil geometry |
Do not select a nailer only because it is described as a 15-degree coil nailer. Many 15-degree tools are designed for wire-welded fasteners or for nail dimensions much larger than this product.
The exact KYA-1.8X18M shown on this page has a bright finish. Bright steel has no zinc coating and should generally be selected for dry, protected fastening environments.
| Fastener Finish / Material | General Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Bright Steel | Dry and protected applications where additional corrosion protection is not required |
| Electro-Galvanized | Zinc-coated option for applications requiring more corrosion protection than bright steel |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized | Used where a heavier galvanized coating is specified |
| Stainless Steel | Consider where the project requires higher corrosion resistance and the exact fastener dimensions are available |
Material and finish availability varies by coil nail size. Confirm the exact combination rather than assuming every KYA plastic-sheet coil nail is available in every material or coating.
The featured KYA-1.8X18M uses a smooth shank. KYA's broader plastic-sheet coil nail range also includes ring and screw shank configurations in other SKUs.
| Shank | Profile | Product Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth | Straight cylindrical shank | Exact shank used by KYA-1.8X18M |
| Ring | Annular grooves around the shank | Separate SKU where increased withdrawal resistance is required in suitable wood |
| Screw | Twisted or helical shank | Separate product configuration |
Do not change shank type without checking the receiving material and application requirements. Nail holding performance depends on the complete fastener geometry, penetration and substrate.
When replacing an existing plastic-sheet coil nail, compare the complete fastener rather than matching only the nominal angle.
| Shank Diameter | 1.80mm / .071" |
| Nail Length | 18mm / .71" |
| Head Diameter | 4.5mm |
| Shank | Smooth |
| Point | Diamond |
| Collation | 15° Plastic Sheet |
| Coil Capacity | 300 nails |

The exact fastener has a 1.80mm / .071" shank diameter and an 18mm / .71" nail length.
The product code is KYA-1.8X18M.
KYA lists a 4.5mm head diameter for this exact 1.80×18mm product.
The featured product uses a smooth shank and diamond point.
This exact SKU uses a bright finish. It does not have the zinc coating of an electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized fastener.
KYA lists 300 nails per coil for this product.
With 300 nails per coil and 40 coils per carton, the listed configuration contains 12,000 nails per carton.
No. The current MAX CN55 specification requires wire-collated nails approximately 25–57mm long and 2.1–2.3mm in diameter. This KYA fastener is only 18mm long, 1.80mm in diameter and uses plastic-sheet collation.
No. The NV45AB2 is a roofing nailer for .120" wire-collated roofing nails from 7/8" to 1-3/4". The KYA 1.80×18mm plastic-sheet nail does not match that fastener specification.
The published SCN45 fastener range begins at approximately 32mm, so an 18mm fastener is outside that documented range.
Do not assume compatibility. The N55CD is a legacy industrial coil nailer, and the exact fastener range and plastic-sheet feed geometry should be checked against the original tool documentation before using a 1.80×18mm nail.
No. The nailer must accept the exact 1.80mm diameter, 18mm length, 4.5mm head diameter, plastic-sheet carrier and corresponding coil geometry.
Do not assume so. Many standard plastic-sheet siding nails are substantially longer and thicker than 1.80×18mm. Use this fastener only where the siding or component specification permits this size and penetration.
A standard structural deck installation normally requires a fastener selected specifically for the deck material, required penetration, holding performance and exposure environment. Do not use this 18mm bright nail as a generic decking fastener.
Only where the applicable sheathing system explicitly permits an 18mm × 1.80mm nail. Conventional roof-sheathing fasteners are generally larger, so the project specification should be checked first.
Bright steel has no protective zinc coating and should not be treated as a general outdoor corrosion-resistant fastener. Select the material and coating specified for the actual exposure conditions.
No collation system should be treated as a universal zero-jam guarantee. Reliable feeding depends on using the correct nail dimensions, carrier geometry and coil configuration in a compatible, properly maintained tool.
Provide the required quantity, exact nailer manufacturer and model, application, receiving material, material thickness and delivery destination. Reference KYA-1.8X18M for this bright smooth-shank configuration.
