KYA CF Series Corrugated Fasteners are 25mm / approximately 1 inch wide steel-sheet fasteners designed for joining and reinforcing wood components. The corrugated profile uses alternating grooves to engage the wood across the joint and is commonly used for picture frames, cabinet and furniture frames, wood boxes, doors, windows and selected pallet or timber repair applications.
The CF Series is manufactured from approximately 0.5mm steel sheet and is available in 8mm, 8.8mm, 9.5mm, 12.2mm and 14.4mm lengths. Bright, galvanized and phosphate-coated finishes are available according to the required model and application.
CF fasteners should be matched to the exact corrugated fastening tool by fastener width, thickness and length. Bostitch CF15 and BeA W15-type tools are established references for this general fastener class, but supported dimensions vary by tool model.

The CF Series has a nominal width of approximately 25mm / 1 inch. This broad corrugated profile crosses the joint and provides multiple points of engagement with the wood fibers.
Different manufacturers may describe the same general fastener class with slightly different nominal measurements. For example, Bostitch specifies approximately 24.4mm crown for its CF15 tool, while BeA describes its standard W corrugated fasteners as approximately 25mm wide.
For replacement purchasing, use the actual fastener and tool specifications rather than relying only on the nominal 1-inch description.
CF Series fasteners are formed from approximately 0.5mm steel sheet. The thin steel profile is shaped into alternating corrugations that increase contact with the wood across the joint.
Fastener performance depends on wood species, grain direction, moisture content, joint geometry, penetration depth and installation tool. Joint strength should be evaluated in the intended assembly rather than inferred from fastener thickness alone.
The alternating-groove profile is designed to engage wood on both sides of the joint as the fastener is driven. This geometry makes corrugated fasteners useful for miter joints, butt joints, corner reinforcement and selected repair work.
The corrugated profile should not be treated as a substitute for engineered structural connectors where the assembly is subject to specified structural loads. For load-bearing construction, follow the applicable joint design and building requirements.
| Model | Length (mm) | Approx. Inch | Width | Thickness | Pcs/Box | Boxes/Carton |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CF8 | 8.0 | 5/16" | 25mm | 0.5mm | 1,000 | 12 |
| CF9 | 8.8 | 11/32" | 25mm | 0.5mm | 1,000 | 12 |
| CF10 | 9.5 | 3/8" | 25mm | 0.5mm | 1,000 | 8 |
| CF13 | 12.2 | 1/2" | 25mm | 0.5mm | 1,000 | 8 |
| CF15 | 14.4 | 5/8" | 25mm | 0.5mm | 1,000 | 8 |
Select fastener length according to joint thickness, penetration requirements, wood density and the supported range of the corrugated fastening tool.
CF Series corrugated fasteners are available with bright, galvanized and phosphate-coated surface options according to the required model and order specification.
Bright steel is commonly used for dry indoor production. Galvanized coatings provide additional corrosion protection, but galvanized fasteners should not automatically be specified for long-term exterior, marine or highly corrosive environments without confirming the coating requirement.
The CF Series belongs to the approximately 25mm-wide pneumatic corrugated fastener class. Tool compatibility depends on the exact fastener width, thickness and supported length.
| Tool Reference | Compatibility Guidance |
|---|---|
| Bostitch CF15 / CF15-2 | Bostitch specifies approximately 24.4mm corrugated fasteners in the 10–15mm length range. Confirm the selected CF size against the exact tool. |
| BeA W15 Series | BeA W15 tools use standard approximately 25mm corrugated fasteners in common 9mm, 12mm and 15mm classes. Confirm exact dimensions before substitution. |
| Other 25mm Corrugated Tools | Verify fastener width, sheet thickness, magazine profile and supported length before ordering. |
Spotnails 5600 staples are a separate medium-crown staple format and should not be treated as a direct CF Series corrugated-fastener tool reference.

Corrugated fasteners are widely used to reinforce miter joints in suitable wood picture frames. The wide corrugated sheet crosses the joint and helps hold the two components together.
CF8, CF9 and CF10 provide shorter penetration options for thinner workpieces, while longer CF13 and CF15 fasteners can be considered for thicker compatible components. The correct length depends on frame thickness, wood species and tool settings.
CF Series fasteners can reinforce cabinet face frames, furniture frames, corners and other wood joints where a concealed corrugated connection is suitable.
Joint performance depends on the wood and connection geometry. Use adhesive, clamps or additional fasteners where required by the furniture or cabinet construction method.
Corrugated fasteners are also used for joining and reinforcing suitable butt joints and corners in wood boxes, crates and packaging components.
For shipping crates or load-bearing packaging, the complete joint should be designed for the expected handling load rather than relying on the corrugated fastener alone.
25mm corrugated fasteners are used in selected door stile, cabinet face-frame and window-frame fabrication processes where a concealed sheet fastener is suitable for reinforcing the joint.
Select the fastener length and surface finish according to the component thickness, wood type and exposure conditions.
Corrugated fasteners are used in selected repair applications to reinforce split pallet stringers and other suitable timber components by bridging the damaged area.
The fastener should not be presented as a universal repair for cracked or structurally damaged timber. The condition of the wood, crack location, load and required repair standard must be evaluated before use.
Corrugated fasteners and V-nails use different geometries and are installed with different tools. Corrugated fasteners provide a wide, grooved steel sheet across the joint, while V-nails are commonly driven from the back of picture-frame miter joints.
Neither fastener should automatically be described as stronger in every application. Joint strength depends on fastener size, number of fasteners, wood species, grain direction, adhesive, joint geometry and installation method.

KYA supplies CF, W, WM, X, JCF, NCF, GC20, NR and other corrugated fastener formats for picture frames, furniture, cabinets, boxes, doors, windows and industrial woodworking applications.
CF Series fasteners are approximately 25mm / 1 inch wide and 0.5mm thick, with listed lengths from 8mm to 14.4mm.
Available models include CF8 at 8mm, CF9 at 8.8mm, CF10 at 9.5mm, CF13 at 12.2mm and CF15 at 14.4mm.
They are formed from approximately 0.5mm steel sheet with alternating corrugations.
Bostitch CF15 and BeA W15-type tools are established references for approximately 25mm corrugated fasteners. Confirm the supported width, thickness and length for the exact tool model.
No. Nominal width alone does not guarantee compatibility. Confirm the magazine, fastener thickness and supported length range.
No. Spotnails 5600 refers to a different 7/16-inch medium-crown staple system and should not be treated as a CF Series corrugated fastener tool.
There is no single size that is best for every picture frame. Select CF8, CF9, CF10, CF13 or CF15 according to frame thickness, wood species, required penetration and tool capability.
Not in every application. Corrugated fasteners and V-nails use different geometries and installation methods. Joint strength depends on fastener size, wood, adhesive, joint geometry and installation conditions.
They can be used for selected reinforcement and repair applications, including suitable split pallet stringers. They should not be treated as a universal structural repair for damaged timber.
Yes. Cabinet face frames and furniture frame reinforcement are established corrugated-fastener applications.
Yes. Corrugated fasteners are used in selected door-stile, window-frame and related woodworking assemblies where this joint type is appropriate.
Galvanized fasteners provide additional corrosion protection over bright steel, but suitability for long-term exterior, coastal or highly corrosive environments depends on the coating specification and project requirements.
Bright steel is commonly selected for dry indoor manufacturing, while galvanized steel adds a zinc coating for improved corrosion protection. Choose the finish according to the actual service environment.
