KYA Fasteners supplies collated anchor nails, also known as Anker nails or metal connector nails, for professional structural timber construction. These fasteners are used to attach specified joist hangers, joist shoes, metal connector plates, structural straps and pre-drilled timber connectors to suitable wooden members.
The KYA range includes 34 degree paper tape anchor nails and 15 degree plastic sheet collated Anker nails. The listed series feature a nominal 4.0mm shank diameter, selected lengths within a 37mm to 75mm range, anchor-head designs and different steel and corrosion-resistant material options.
For structural connector installations, select the nail according to the connector manufacturer's fastener schedule, including diameter, length, head geometry, shank design, material, finish and required installation pattern. The selected nail must also match the fastening tool. Similar-looking anchor nails are not automatically interchangeable.
Anchor nails are specialized connector fasteners used to secure metal construction hardware to timber. They are commonly identified by their relatively large shank diameter, purpose-designed anchor head and shank geometry suitable for the specified metal-to-wood connection.
Many anchor nails use a ring shank, which engages surrounding wood fibers to improve withdrawal resistance compared with a comparable smooth shank design. The anchor head provides a bearing surface against the connector plate, while the point supports driving into the receiving wood member.
Anchor nails differ from ordinary framing nails because connector performance may depend on a specific nail diameter, head shape, length and installation arrangement. They also differ from concrete anchors, which are designed for fastening into concrete or masonry using other anchoring methods.
KYA offers three anchor nail product listings covering paper tape and plastic sheet collation. The primary differences are collation format, reference size, finish options and packaging configuration.

Collation is an important selection factor for connector nails. KYA offers 34 degree paper tape strips and 15 degree plastic sheet collation. Both formats are intended for compatible nailers, but their feeding systems and magazine requirements differ.
| Specification | 34° Paper Tape Anchor Nails | 15° Plastic Sheet Anker Nails |
|---|---|---|
| Collation Type | Paper Tape Strip | Plastic Sheet Collation |
| Collation Angle | 34° | 15° |
| Nominal Diameter | 4.0mm / Approx. 0.157" | 4.0mm / Approx. 0.157" |
| Listed Length Range | 37–75mm | 37–75mm |
| Reference Size | 4×40mm or 4×45mm by item | 4×40mm |
| Collated Quantity | 22 nails per strip for the listed galvanized model | 100 nails per collated unit in the listed specification |
| Head Design | Anker / Anchor Head | Anker / Anchor Head |
| Tool System | Compatible 34° paper tape anchor nailer | Compatible 15° plastic sheet anchor nailer |
The 34 degree and 15 degree formats are not interchangeable. Magazine angle, feeding mechanism, nail head dimensions, shank diameter, accepted length and collation geometry must all match the selected tool.
Even when the same nominal 4.0mm diameter and 40mm length are specified, paper tape anchor nails and plastic sheet Anker nails must be matched to their respective fastening systems.
Anker head nails have a head profile designed for specified metal connector applications. The head provides bearing against the connector plate and helps retain the metal hardware when the fastener is correctly installed through the required hole.
Head diameter, underside geometry and the connection's required fastener type should be verified with the connector manufacturer's specifications. A general-purpose framing nail head may not provide the same fit or bearing characteristics.
Ring shank anchor nails have annular ridges that engage wood fibers and can increase withdrawal resistance in suitable timber. The KYA 15 degree plastic sheet Anker nail listing identifies a ring shank configuration. Ring shank variants are also described within the 34 degree paper tape range.
Actual fastening performance depends on timber species, moisture content, penetration, nail geometry and connector design. A ring shank fastener should not be substituted for a specified smooth or other shank type without confirming the connection requirements.
Selected KYA 34 degree paper tape product descriptions also identify smooth and screw shank configurations. These designs have different driving and withdrawal characteristics. Confirm the actual shank type for the selected item and use only the configuration accepted by the connector specification.
The listed galvanized anchor nail products include a diamond point design for penetrating timber. Driving characteristics and splitting risk still depend on timber density, distance from the wood edge, fastener diameter and installation conditions.
KYA lists standard steel, electro-galvanized steel, hot-dip galvanized steel and selected stainless steel anchor nail variants. The material and finish must be chosen together with the metal connector, timber treatment and exposure requirements.
| Material / Finish | Characteristics | Selection Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Bright Steel | Uncoated steel fastener. | Protected conditions where the connector specification permits an uncoated fastener. |
| Electro-Galvanized Steel | Steel with an electroplated zinc coating. | Applications where the specified zinc coating provides adequate corrosion protection. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel | Steel with a hot-dip zinc coating. | Selected exposed or treated-timber connections when the coating specification and connector finish are compatible. |
| Stainless Steel 304 | Austenitic stainless steel with corrosion-resistant characteristics. | Use where the structural connector design and environmental requirements permit this material. |
| Stainless Steel 316 | Stainless steel with increased resistance to certain chloride exposures compared with 304. | Consider for specified corrosion-sensitive connections using compatible hardware. |
Material and finish availability varies by product. Stainless steel grades and galvanized coating processes should be confirmed for the required anchor nail size and collation. A general galvanized designation does not establish coating thickness or suitability for every outdoor environment.
For pressure-treated timber or exposed structural hardware, follow the corrosion-protection requirements of the connector manufacturer and applicable project specification. Fastener and connector materials should be selected as a compatible system.
Anchor nails are intended for compatible fastening tools that accept the selected nail geometry and collation. A conventional framing nailer may not accept a 4.0mm connector nail even when the magazine angle appears similar.
The KYA 34 degree paper tape range is intended for compatible paper-collated anchor nailers. Before purchasing, verify that the tool accepts the required 4.0mm shank diameter, anchor head, nail length, paper tape configuration and strip dimensions.
The KYA 15 degree plastic sheet Anker nails require a compatible nailer designed for the specified plastic sheet collation and anchor nail dimensions. The tool must accept the required nail diameter, length, head geometry and collated feeding format.
Verify the connector manufacturer's required fastener type and dimensions.
Confirm the exact nailer manufacturer and model.
Check the accepted collation angle and feeding format.
Match shank diameter, nail length, head profile and point geometry.
Use the specified nail quantity and connector hole locations.
Follow installation requirements for penetration, spacing and edge distance.
Avoid damaging or enlarging connector holes during driving.
Do not substitute shorter or different nails without the required design approval.
Structural connector performance depends on the complete fastening arrangement. The correct nail specification, installation method and connector schedule take precedence over general product descriptions.
KYA anchor nails are used in professional timber construction where the selected structural connector requires compatible metal-to-wood fasteners.
Joist hangers and joist shoes
Metal connector plates and structural straps
Specified roof truss and rafter connectors
Hurricane ties and selected structural restraint hardware
Pre-drilled metal plates attached to timber
Engineered timber connector assemblies
Other structural wood connections requiring anchor-type nails
Not every anchor nail in this category is suitable for every application listed above. Select the fastener according to the specific connector design, required dimensions, timber substrate and installation instructions.
Anchor nails and framing nails are both used in timber construction, but they may have different head geometry, shank dimensions, collation and permitted applications. Anchor nails are selected specifically for compatible structural connector fastening, whereas general framing nails are selected for specified timber-to-timber connections.
An ordinary framing nail should not replace an anchor nail solely because it has the same nominal length or collation angle. The connector manufacturer may require a particular diameter, head profile, shank configuration and installation pattern to achieve the stated connection performance.

If you are sourcing an alternative fastener for an existing anchor nail system, include the original product drawing, nailer model and connector information. This helps identify a comparable product for review without assuming that similar dimensions establish structural interchangeability.
Anchor nails are used to fasten specified joist hangers, joist shoes, connector plates, structural straps and other metal connector hardware to timber. The selected nail must meet the connector manufacturer's requirements.
KYA 34 degree anchor nails use paper tape strips, while the 15 degree Anker nail series uses plastic sheet collation. The two formats require compatible nailers with different magazine and feeding arrangements.
The featured KYA anchor nail families have a nominal 4.0mm diameter and list lengths from 37mm to 75mm. Specific reference models include 4×40mm and 4×45mm. Confirm the available sizes for the selected product series.
Ring shank nails have annular ridges that engage wood fibers and can improve withdrawal resistance in suitable timber. Their use must still follow the fastener type and dimensions specified for the connector.
No. The tool must accept the exact collation format, angle, shank diameter, head design, length and magazine arrangement. A standard framing nailer is not automatically suitable for large-diameter connector nails.
The finish must be compatible with the timber preservative, metal connector and exposure conditions. Hot-dip galvanized or specified stainless steel fasteners may be appropriate where the relevant connector requirements permit them.
KYA product descriptions identify stainless steel anchor nail options, including 304 and 316 grades for selected product families. Confirm the exact material grade, size and collation before ordering.
Only when the selected anchor nail satisfies the connector manufacturer's specified or accepted fastener requirements. Matching length alone is not sufficient. Nail diameter, head, shank, material and installation pattern must also be considered.
The KYA 34 degree paper tape 4×45mm product lists 2,000 nails per carton. A galvanized 34 degree model lists 22 nails per strip, while the 15 degree plastic sheet model lists 100 nails per collated unit. Confirm final carton quantities by product.
Provide the required product model, nail dimensions, head and shank configuration, collation angle, material, finish, nailer model, packaging quantity and destination market. Include the structural connector reference when the fastener must match a particular installation system.
