KYA 15 Degree Wire Collated Coil Nails 2-1/2 Inch × .131 Inch are full-round-head carbon steel nails designed for compatible pneumatic wire coil nailers. This specific KYA-3365SM configuration combines a 63.5mm / 2-1/2" length, 3.33mm / .131" smooth shank, bright finish and wire-welded coil collation.
The .131-inch shank places this product in the heavier range of common coil framing nails. It is intended for dry, non-corrosive applications such as interior framing, wall sheathing, subflooring, crating, pallets and other wood fastening applications where the project specification permits a bright smooth-shank coil nail.
This product uses bright carbon steel rather than galvanized steel. The listed vinyl/resin-type driving coating should not be interpreted as a corrosion-protection coating. For exterior exposure, pressure-treated lumber or corrosive environments, specify an appropriate galvanized, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel coil nail instead.

A 2-1/2 inch × .131 inch specification defines both nail length and shank diameter. The .131-inch shank is substantially larger than common .092, .099, .113 and .120 coil nail diameters and is used in heavier fastening applications where the approved fastening schedule calls for this nail size.
Buyers should not select framing nails by length alone. A 2-1/2-inch nail with a .099-inch or .113-inch shank is not mechanically identical to a 2-1/2-inch × .131-inch nail.
| Specification | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| 2-1/2" Length | Determines penetration depth through the fastened material into the supporting wood member. |
| .131" Shank | Provides a relatively heavy shank compared with smaller coil nail diameters. |
| Smooth Shank | Supports straightforward driving and is widely used in framing and general construction where smooth-shank nails are specified. |
| Full Round Head | Provides a broad bearing surface against framing lumber, sheathing or other compatible wood materials. |
| Wire Coil | Allows higher magazine capacity and fewer reloads than many short strip-collated fastener systems. |
This SKU uses a bright steel finish. Bright nails do not receive the zinc corrosion-protection layer used on electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized fasteners.
A vinyl or resin driving coating may reduce driving friction or assist fastening performance, but it should not be interpreted as equivalent to galvanizing or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
| Environment | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Dry Interior Framing | Bright steel can be appropriate where the project specification does not require corrosion-resistant fasteners. |
| Interior Sheathing / Subfloor | Can be suitable in dry service conditions when the specified nail size and fastening schedule permit it. |
| Exterior Exposure | Use an appropriate galvanized, HDG or stainless steel fastener instead of this bright SKU. |
| Pressure-Treated Lumber | Bright carbon steel should generally not be substituted where the treated-wood system requires corrosion-resistant fasteners. |
| Coastal / High-Moisture Environment | Select the corrosion-resistant fastener material or coating required by the project specification. |
This KYA SKU uses a smooth shank. Smooth-shank nails have a cylindrical surface without the annular ridges of ring-shank nails or the twisted profile of screw-shank nails.
Smooth shanks are widely used for framing, sheathing, packaging and general wood fastening because they drive efficiently. Withdrawal resistance depends on nail diameter, penetration depth, wood species, moisture content and connection design.
| Shank Type | General Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Smooth Shank | Fast, conventional driving for framing, sheathing and general construction applications. |
| Ring Shank | Annular rings can increase withdrawal resistance in suitable wood substrates. |
| Screw Shank | Twisted shank can provide increased withdrawal resistance in selected pallet, timber and hardwood applications. |
A coil nail should be matched to the nailer's complete fastener specification, not only to the nominal 15° collation angle. Confirm wire collation, nail length, shank diameter, head style and magazine capacity.
Some manufacturers describe compatible wire-coil nailer magazines as nominal 15° while others may publish approximately 16° or 16° ±1°. The correct test is whether the tool manufacturer accepts 2-1/2" × .131" wire-collated full-round-head nails.
| Compatibility Check | Required Specification |
|---|---|
| Collation | Wire-welded coil |
| Nominal Angle | Approximately 15° wire coil system |
| Length | Tool must accept 2-1/2" / 63.5mm nails |
| Diameter | Tool must accept .131" / approx. 3.33mm shank |
| Head | Full round head compatibility |
| Nailer Type | Heavy-duty wire coil framing / pallet / construction nailer with matching fastener range |
For example, the MAX CN80 officially accepts 15° wire-collated nails from 2" to 3-1/4" with shank diameters from .099" to .131", placing this 2-1/2" × .131" SKU inside its published size range. Always confirm the exact tool model and current manufacturer specification before use.
The exact nail size required for structural or construction work must follow the applicable fastening schedule, building code, engineering specification and substrate requirements. Typical dry-service applications for this size include the following:
| Application | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Interior Framing | Walls, partitions and framing connections where 2-1/2" × .131" smooth-shank nails are specified. |
| Wall Sheathing | Plywood or OSB sheathing where the approved fastening schedule permits this nail size. |
| Subflooring | Dry interior subfloor work when the flooring system permits smooth-shank coil nails. |
| Pallets | Selected pallet assembly where smooth-shank .131 nails provide the required fastening performance. |
| Crating | Industrial wood crates and packaging used in dry or protected conditions. |
| Furniture & Cabinet Frames | Selected heavy wood-frame assembly where the size is appropriate for the components. |
| Truss / Wood Assembly | Only where the design or manufacturer specifies the required nail dimensions and connection pattern. |
KYA offers both .113-inch and .131-inch shank options at 2-1/2-inch length. These products should not be treated as interchangeable solely because their lengths are identical.
| Feature | 2-1/2" × .131" | 2-1/2" × .113" |
|---|---|---|
| Length | 2-1/2" / 63.5mm | 2-1/2" / 63.5mm |
| Shank Diameter | .131" / approx. 3.33mm | .113" / approx. 2.87mm |
| Cross-Section | Heavier / larger-diameter shank | Smaller-diameter shank |
| Nailer Compatibility | The nailer must support the exact shank diameter; some tools accept .113 but not .131. | |
| Structural Substitution | Follow the project fastening schedule and do not substitute diameters solely because nail length is the same. | |

KYA-3365SM is a 2-1/2-inch long wire coil nail with a .131-inch smooth shank, equivalent to approximately 63.5mm × 3.33mm.
.131 inch refers to the nominal nail shank diameter. It is approximately 3.33mm and is larger than common .099, .113 and .120-inch coil nail shanks.
This specific KYA-3365SM product uses a smooth shank. Ring-shank and screw-shank nails are separate configurations.
Yes. They use a nominal 15-degree wire-welded coil collation system.
Yes. This product uses a full round head designed for compatible coil framing and industrial nailers.
The corresponding 2-1/2" × .131" smooth wire-coil configuration uses a conventional diamond point for wood penetration.
Typical applications include interior framing, wall sheathing, subflooring, pallets, crating and other dry-service wood fastening where the specified connection permits a 2-1/2" × .131" smooth-shank nail.
No. Bright steel is not galvanized. If zinc corrosion protection is required, specify electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized coil nails instead.
No. A vinyl or resin driving coating should not be treated as equivalent to zinc galvanizing or stainless steel corrosion protection.
They are primarily intended for dry, non-corrosive service. For exposed exterior construction, select a coating or material that meets the project's corrosion requirements.
Bright carbon steel is generally not the appropriate choice where pressure-treated lumber requires corrosion-resistant fasteners. Follow the wood preservative manufacturer's and project fastener requirements.
MAX currently specifies the CN80 for 15-degree wire-collated coil nails from 2 to 3-1/4 inches long and .099 to .131 inch in diameter, so this size falls within the published dimensional range. Always verify the exact collation and fastener configuration before use.
Manufacturers may use slightly different nominal angle descriptions for wire-coil systems. Do not select nails by angle alone; verify collation type, length, shank diameter and the tool manufacturer's approved fastener range.
The numbers describe shank diameter. A .131-inch nail has a larger shank cross-section than a .113-inch nail. They should not be substituted in structural work unless the fastening specification permits it.
KYA's current reference for this configuration lists approximately 200 nails per coil. Confirm the final coil and carton packing when requesting a quotation.
No. Roofing coil nails typically use different head dimensions, nail sizes and dedicated roofing nailers. This product is a heavier wire-collated framing and construction nail.
Yes. KYA's wider 15-degree wire coil nail range includes multiple lengths, shank diameters, shank profiles and finishes. Each specification should be quoted as a separate SKU.
