304 stainless steel provides substantially better corrosion resistance than ordinary uncoated carbon-steel finish nails. It is useful where moisture, humidity or intermittent exterior exposure could cause conventional steel fasteners to corrode.
Stainless fasteners help reduce the risk of visible rust staining around the nail head, which is important for natural wood, painted trim, exterior casing and other appearance-sensitive finish work.
304 stainless steel can be appropriate for selected cedar, redwood, hardwood and moisture-prone woodworking where carbon-steel fasteners could create corrosion or discoloration concerns. Always follow the wood-product or project fastener specification.
Unlike a surface coating applied to carbon steel, stainless steel corrosion resistance comes from the alloy itself. This can be advantageous where the fastener surface may be scratched during driving.
| Material / Finish | General Corrosion Resistance | Typical Selection |
|---|---|---|
| Bright Carbon Steel | Low | Dry interior trim, cabinetry and protected woodworking |
| Galvanized Steel | Depends on zinc coating specification | General finish work where zinc-coated fasteners provide sufficient corrosion protection |
| 304 Stainless Steel | High for many normal woodworking and exterior environments | Exterior trim, humid environments, natural wood and corrosion-sensitive finish work |
| Higher Corrosion-Resistance Stainless Specification | Selected for more aggressive chloride or salt-air exposure | Confirm project specification for coastal, marine or high-chloride environments |
Important: 304 stainless steel should not be described as absolutely rust-proof in every environment. For severe marine, coastal or chloride exposure, confirm the required stainless grade before ordering.
KYA's current DA Series range covers 25mm to 64mm. The full family includes the following common lengths. Confirm current 304 stainless availability for the exact size when placing an order.
| Model | Length | Pcs / Stick | Pcs / Box | Boxes / Carton |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DA25 | 25mm / 1" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| DA32 | 32mm / 1-1/4" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| DA38 | 38mm / 1-1/2" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| DA45 | 45mm / 1-3/4" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| DA50 | 50mm / 2" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| DA57 | 57mm / 2-1/4" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| DA64 | 64mm / 2-1/2" | 100 | 4,000 | 4 |
| Length Range | General Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| 25–32mm / 1"–1-1/4" | Light trim and thinner finish components where the nailer accepts the selected short DA length |
| 38–45mm / 1-1/2"–1-3/4" | Paneling, medium trim, cabinetry and furniture components |
| 50mm / 2" | Common baseboard, casing, molding, cabinetry and general finish-carpentry applications |
| 57–64mm / 2-1/4"–2-1/2" | Thicker molding, substantial trim and applications requiring greater available penetration |
Nail length should be selected according to workpiece thickness, receiving substrate, required penetration and the fastener range accepted by the nailer. Longer is not automatically better because excessive length can increase the risk of deflection or breakthrough.
304 stainless finish nails can be considered for exterior trim where the project calls for a corrosion-resistant stainless fastener and the service environment is appropriate for 304 stainless steel.
The 34° DA format provides angled magazine access around door and window openings, while stainless steel helps reduce corrosion and staining in moisture-prone installations.
15GA DA nails provide a heavier finish fastener for substantial crown molding and baseboards. Stainless steel can be useful where humidity, condensation or material staining is a concern.
DA stainless nails can be used for suitable cabinet face frames, furniture components, decorative wood assemblies and other finish applications requiring the strength of a 15GA fastener.
Stainless steel is often selected for natural wood where visible corrosion staining would affect the finished appearance. The correct stainless grade should be matched to wood chemistry and environmental exposure.
Bathrooms, utility areas and other humid interiors can benefit from stainless fasteners where the project specification calls for improved corrosion resistance compared with standard carbon-steel finish nails.
Do not describe 304 stainless steel finish nails as universally rust-proof or suitable for every marine environment. Salt, chlorides, persistent moisture and coastal exposure can significantly increase corrosion demands.
For marine, salt-air, coastal or other aggressive environments, check the architectural, wood-product or project fastener specification. A higher-corrosion-resistance stainless grade may be required. The product documented on this page is 304 stainless steel.
DA and FN are two different 15 gauge angled finish-nail systems. They should not be treated as interchangeable simply because both are 15GA.
| Feature | DA Style | FN Style |
|---|---|---|
| Gauge | 15 Gauge | 15 Gauge |
| Typical Angle | 34° | Approximately 25° |
| Magazine / Strip Geometry | DA-style angled strip | FN-style angled strip |
| Interchangeable? | No. Use only the fastener style specified by the nailer manufacturer. | |
Compatibility depends on the complete fastener system: gauge, 34° DA geometry, nail length, head profile, strip dimensions and magazine specification. Do not determine compatibility from “15 gauge” alone.
| Tool / Tool Family | Compatibility Guidance |
|---|---|
| SENCO F-15XP / FinishPro 42XP / FinishPro 30XP | SENCO currently lists these tools with its 15GA 34° DA fastener family. Confirm the accepted nail length for the exact tool before use. |
| Metabo HPT NT65MA4 | Published specification: 15GA, 34° magazine, 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" nail length. This corresponds dimensionally to DA32 through DA64, subject to full strip and head compatibility. |
| Other 34° DA-Style Nailers | Confirm gauge, angle, DA strip geometry, nail length, head dimensions and magazine requirements in the tool manual. |
| Bostitch N62FN | Do not list as a confirmed DA tool. The N62FN uses a 25° FN15 fastener system rather than the 34° DA system. |
DA25 compatibility note: the KYA family includes a 25mm / 1-inch DA nail, but many current professional 15GA 34° tools start at 1-1/4 inches. Verify the minimum accepted nail length before ordering DA25.

They are 15 gauge angled strip finish nails made from stainless steel for compatible DA-style finish nailers. The KYA product described on this page uses 304 stainless steel and a 34° angled strip format.
The DA Series described on this page uses a 34° angled strip format.
The current product specification lists 304 stainless steel.
No stainless fastener should be described as universally rust-proof in every environment. 304 stainless steel offers strong corrosion resistance for many normal woodworking and exterior applications, but aggressive chloride or salt-air conditions may require a different stainless specification.
They can be suitable for many exterior trim and moisture-sensitive applications when 304 stainless steel meets the project requirements. Check the material manufacturer's fastener specification and service environment before installation.
Do not assume 304 stainless steel is the correct specification for every coastal or marine application. Salt and chloride exposure can require a higher corrosion-resistance stainless grade. Confirm the project specification before use.
Stainless steel is often selected for natural and stain-sensitive woods because it helps reduce corrosion staining. Confirm the required stainless grade and nail length for the specific wood product and installation.
Use only a fastener material permitted by the treated-wood manufacturer and applicable project requirements. Do not assume every stainless grade is automatically approved for every preservative treatment.
The KYA DA family covers approximately 25mm to 64mm / 1 inch to 2-1/2 inches. Confirm current 304 stainless availability for the exact length when ordering.
The current KYA stainless DA page lists 4,000 nails per box and four boxes per carton.
KYA's current DA Series packing data lists 100 nails per stick.
The current KYA specification lists an approximately 3.1mm head width.
The current KYA DA specification lists approximately 1.76mm width × 1.76mm thickness.
The product specification lists a chisel point.
DA and FN are different 15 gauge angled fastener systems. DA is commonly associated with a 34° strip, while FN uses an approximately 25° angled format. They should not be interchanged unless the tool manufacturer specifically permits both systems.
The Bostitch N62FN is specified for a 25° FN15 fastener system, so it should not be listed as a confirmed match for 34° DA nails.
The NT65MA4 is a 15GA 34° angled finish nailer with a published 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" nail range. DA32 through DA64 fall within that published length range, but full fastener geometry should still be checked before bulk use.
No. Some DA nailers accept 1-inch nails, while many current professional models begin at 1-1/4 inches. Always check the tool's minimum nail length.
Choose length according to molding thickness and required penetration into the receiving substrate. DA50, DA57 or DA64 may be relevant for thicker profiles, but the actual assembly and nailer range should determine the final size.
Contact KYA Fasteners regarding current sample availability. Test the required stainless DA size in the intended nailer and actual wood assembly before placing a large-volume order.
