KYA 15 Degree Electro-Galvanized Plastic Sheet Coil Nails in 1.8mm × 18mm are compact smooth-shank collated nails designed for compatible pneumatic coil nailers and light fastening applications where a short 18mm fastener is required.
This SKU uses a 1.8mm / .071 inch shank diameter, 18mm / approximately .71 inch length, smooth shank, diamond point, full round head, 15° plastic sheet collation and an electro-galvanized finish. The current product listing specifies 300 nails per coil.
Because the 18mm leg length is much shorter than many conventional siding, fencing or framing coil nails, buyers should select this fastener according to the actual material thickness, required penetration and nailer specification rather than by application name alone.

Smooth Shank
Full Round Head
The diamond point is designed to enter suitable wood and wood-based materials efficiently. Actual driving behavior depends on material density, thickness and nailer power.
The smooth cylindrical shank supports straightforward driving and is commonly used where the application does not require the additional withdrawal resistance of a ring or screw shank.
The full round head provides a defined bearing surface against the fastened material. Head dimensions and driver clearance should still be checked against the exact nailer specification.
Plastic sheet collation uses a flexible plastic carrier to hold nails in a coil at a controlled angle for automatic feeding through a compatible pneumatic nailer.
During driving, the individual nail separates from the carrier. Tool compatibility depends on more than the 15° angle: nail diameter, length, head dimensions, coil diameter, feed direction and plastic-sheet geometry should all match the nailer.
Electro-galvanizing applies a zinc coating to the steel fastener to provide more corrosion protection than untreated bright steel. It is commonly selected for interior, sheltered or limited-moisture applications.
For prolonged outdoor exposure, treated lumber, coastal locations or highly corrosive environments, confirm whether hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel fasteners are required. Electro-galvanized should not automatically be treated as equivalent to HDG or stainless steel.
The short 18mm leg length can suit selected thin wood, board and panel fastening where the required penetration is limited and the receiving material is suitable for a 1.8mm smooth-shank nail.
This compact fastener can be considered for appropriate trim, accessory or light assembly work where longer coil nails would create excessive penetration.
Selected light crate, box and packaging assemblies may use short smooth-shank coil nails when material thickness and holding requirements match the 18mm fastener length.
OEM manufacturers can use the 1.8×18mm configuration for applications specifically designed around this compact nail size. Providing the existing fastener drawing and nailer model is recommended for replacement sourcing.
The product can only be considered for siding or panel systems where the installation specification explicitly permits an 18mm nail. Many conventional siding and sheathing applications require substantially longer fasteners, so the project specification should be checked first.
| Parameter | KYA 1.8x18mm | Typical Larger Siding / Fencing Coil Nails |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 18mm / approx. .71" | Often approximately 1-7/8" to 2-1/2" or other project-specific lengths |
| Shank Diameter | 1.8mm / .071" | Often larger depending on siding, fencing and tool system |
| Shank | Smooth | Smooth or ring commonly used |
| Collation | 15° Plastic Sheet | Plastic sheet or wire depending on tool system |
| Selection | Select by material thickness, required penetration and nailer specification rather than the application name alone. | |
The wider KYA coil nail family includes diamond, chisel, blunt, clinch and round point configurations. This 1.8×18mm page shows a diamond-point product; alternative point styles should be confirmed for the exact requested size before ordering.
| Shank Type | General Characteristic | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Smooth Shank | Low-profile cylindrical shank for straightforward driving | General and light fastening where increased withdrawal resistance is not required |
| Ring Shank | Annular rings increase mechanical engagement with wood fibers | Applications requiring increased resistance to pull-out |
| Screw Shank | Twisted profile rotates during driving into suitable wood | Selected hardwood, pallet and industrial fastening applications |
KYA manufactures a wider range of plastic-sheet coil nails with different diameters, lengths, heads, points and shanks. The figures below describe the broader family and should not replace the exact 1.8×18mm SKU specification.
| Family Parameter | Available Range / Options |
|---|---|
| Diameter | Approximately 1.8–4.0mm depending on product family |
| Length | Multiple lengths available; this SKU is specifically 18mm |
| Shank | Smooth, Ring, Screw |
| Point | Diamond, Chisel, Blunt, Clinch, Round |
| Head | Full Round and other specified configurations |
| Finish | Bright, Electro-Galvanized, Hot-Dip Galvanized, Stainless and other configurations depending on SKU |
| Collation | Plastic Sheet, including 15° and selected alternative configurations |
A 15° designation alone does not guarantee that a nail fits a tool. Fanaco and other professional fastener suppliers similarly instruct buyers to verify each tool specification before use.

The featured SKU is 1.8mm in shank diameter and 18mm long, approximately .071 inch × .71 inch.
This product uses a smooth shank.
The product images and current configuration identify a diamond point.
The current KYA product listing specifies 300 nails per coil for this 1.8×18mm configuration.
The nails are held in a 15° coil using a plastic carrier for automatic feeding through a compatible pneumatic nailer.
Electro-galvanizing provides basic corrosion protection and is generally better suited to interior, sheltered or limited-moisture environments. For prolonged exterior, coastal or highly corrosive exposure, confirm whether HDG or stainless steel is required.
Only where the siding or panel installation specification explicitly permits an 18mm fastener. Many conventional siding systems use significantly longer nails, so material thickness and required penetration must be checked first.
An 18mm nail is much shorter than typical structural sheathing or decking fasteners. Do not use this SKU for structural fastening unless the approved installation specification explicitly requires this size.
Electro-galvanized nails generally use a thinner zinc coating, while hot-dip galvanized fasteners generally provide greater corrosion protection for more demanding exterior conditions. The required finish should follow the actual environment and project specification.
No. The tool must accept 15° plastic-sheet collation, 1.8mm diameter, 18mm length, full-round-head geometry and the corresponding coil dimensions.
Not automatically. The feed system, carrier material, coil dimensions and fastener geometry can differ. Follow the nailer's published fastener specification.
Provide the exact nailer model, required quantity, application, substrate thickness, finish requirement, packaging and destination market.
Contact KYA Fasteners regarding current sample availability. Test the nail with the intended nailer and actual substrate before high-volume production use.
KYA supplies plastic-sheet coil nails for fastener distributors, pneumatic-tool distributors, packaging manufacturers, wood-product factories and professional industrial fastening buyers.
