The nails are joined with wire and formed into a coil for use in compatible pneumatic roofing nailers. The coil format provides continuous feeding while maintaining the full round head required for roofing applications.
Tool compatibility depends on more than the nominal collation angle. Buyers should compare the .120" shank diameter, 1-1/2" length, head diameter, wire position, coil outside diameter and magazine capacity with the exact nailer specification.
KYA lists both smooth and ring shank versions within its .120" roofing coil nail range. The correct shank profile should be selected according to the roofing material, substrate and applicable fastening requirements.
| Shank Type | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|
| Smooth Shank | Common roofing configuration for compatible shingles, underlayment and insulation applications. |
| Ring Shank | Annular shank profile provides increased mechanical engagement with compatible wood substrates where this fastener type is specified. |
Asphalt shingles: roofing installations where a 1-1/2" × .120" full-round-head nail meets the roof covering manufacturer's requirements.
Fiberglass shingles: compatible roof-covering installation using pneumatic coil roofing nailers.
Roofing felt: applications where this fastener length and head size are appropriate.
Roof underlayment: compatible installations where coil roofing nails are specified.
Insulation board: fastening compatible insulation materials using broad-head roofing nails.
Re-roofing: assemblies where additional nail length is required to achieve the specified substrate penetration.
A 1-1/2" nail should not automatically be used for every roofing assembly. Nail length should be selected according to the roof covering, number of layers, deck thickness and required penetration.
Some professional roofing nailers that accept .120" roofing nails can also be configured for selected siding applications. For example, certain roofing nailer platforms offer dedicated siding attachments.
However, this does not make a 1-1/2" × .120" roofing nail equivalent to a conventional siding nail. Most dedicated professional siding nailers are designed around smaller shank diameters, commonly approximately .083"–.099".
For fiber cement, vinyl, wood or engineered siding, confirm the required nail length, shank diameter, head diameter, corrosion resistance and installation method with the siding manufacturer before selecting the fastener.
Fiber cement siding manufacturers publish specific fastening requirements that can vary according to product profile, framing type, installation method and wind-load conditions.
Do not assume that 1-1/2" × .120" is a universal fiber cement siding fastener. When installing James Hardie or another fiber cement product, follow the manufacturer's current fastener tables and use the required corrosion-resistant nail or screw.
KYA lists multiple corrosion-protection options within the .120" coil roofing nail range. Select the material or coating according to the roof covering, substrate and exposure conditions.
| Finish / Material | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|
| Electro-Galvanized | Zinc-coated steel for applications where electro-galvanized roofing fasteners are permitted. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized | Heavier galvanized coating for applications requiring increased corrosion protection. |
| 304 Stainless Steel | Corrosion-resistant option for applications requiring stainless steel fasteners. |
| 316 Stainless Steel | Available for selected demanding corrosive environments where this stainless grade is specified. |
Electro-galvanized steel should not automatically be specified for cedar, redwood, treated lumber, severe exterior exposure or corrosive environments. Follow the material manufacturer's corrosion-resistance requirements.
The 1-1/2" × .120" dimensions fall within the published fastener ranges of several professional roofing nailer platforms.
| Tool Family | Compatibility Reference |
|---|---|
| Metabo HPT / Hitachi NV45AB2 | Designed for .120" wire-collated roofing nails in a range that includes 1-1/2" length. |
| MAX CN445R Series | Accepts .120" roofing nails from approximately 3/4" to 1-3/4" with 120-nail magazine capacity. |
| BOSTITCH RN46 Series | Professional coil roofing nailer family commonly used with 1-1/2" × .120" wire-collated roofing nails. |
| SENCO RoofPro 445 Series | Roofing nailer family with .120" coil roofing nail configurations including 1-1/2" length. |
Always verify the exact nailer model, nail length, head diameter, shank type, collation geometry and magazine specification before use.
Many dedicated siding nailers use substantially smaller fastener diameters. For example, professional 2-1/2" siding nailer platforms commonly accept approximately .083"–.099" nails.
A .120" roofing nail is therefore outside the published fastener range of many siding nailers. Do not assume compatibility with tools such as MAX CN565S-series, Metabo HPT NV65AH2, BOSTITCH N66C or SENCO SCN49 solely because they use 15° coil fasteners.
KYA's current roofing coil nail specification for 3.05 × 38 mm lists approximately 120 nails per coil. This corresponds to the magazine capacity used by common professional roofing nailers.
Coils containing 300–400 fasteners are common in other wire-coil nail categories, including siding, pallet and general construction nails with smaller heads or different dimensions. The nail count should not be transferred between product categories without confirming the actual coil outside diameter and tool magazine.
ASTM F1667 covers driven fasteners used in wood construction and includes dimensional classifications for roofing nails.
If ASTM F1667 compliance or another project-specific approval is required, request the applicable documentation for the exact KYA nail configuration supplied. Product dimensions alone should not be treated as proof of a particular certification or evaluation report.
For an accurate quotation, provide the required quantity, shank type, finish or material, destination market, roofing application and pneumatic nailer model. If the fastener will be used in a siding application, also provide the siding material and installation requirements.
The current product information lists a minimum order quantity of 50 cartons and indicates that sample coils can be arranged. Confirm current MOQ, sample quantity, freight terms and packing configuration when requesting pricing.
The featured nails measure 1-1/2" long × .120" diameter, approximately 38 × 3.05 mm.
The 1-1/2" × .120" full-round-head wire coil format is primarily a roofing nail specification. KYA's roofing coil nail range lists the 3.05 × 38 mm size with 120 nails per coil.
The KYA roofing nail specification for the 3.05 × 38 mm size lists approximately 120 nails per coil.
The listed KYA configuration is approximately 120 nails per coil × 60 coils per carton = 7,200 nails per carton.
No universal compatibility should be assumed. MAX CN565S-series siding nailers publish a maximum nail diameter of approximately .099", while this product has a .120" shank.
The NV65AH2 siding nailer accepts approximately .090"–.099" diameter nails. A .120" roofing nail is outside that published diameter range.
The NV45AB2 is designed for .120" wire-collated roofing nails and its published length range includes 1-1/2" nails. Confirm the complete coil dimensions before use.
MAX CN445R-series roofing nailers accept .120" roofing nails from approximately 3/4" to 1-3/4", so the 1-1/2" size falls within the published dimensional range.
Do not assume universal compatibility. James Hardie requires corrosion-resistant fasteners that comply with the applicable installation instructions and fastener schedules. Confirm the exact siding product, framing, installation method and required fastener before use.
Some .120" roofing-nailer systems offer dedicated vinyl siding attachments. Use this nail for siding only when the siding manufacturer and tool manufacturer permit the specific fastener and installation method.
