KYA 2-1/2" × .092" ring shank wire coil nails are 15° collated carbon-steel fasteners with an electro-galvanized finish. The featured size has a nominal shank diameter of .092 inch / approximately 2.34mm and a nominal length of 2-1/2 inches / approximately 63.5–64mm.
The ring shank uses annular ridges to increase engagement with surrounding wood fibers compared with a comparable smooth-shank nail. This configuration is used in suitable siding, sheathing, fencing, pallet, crate and general woodworking applications where the nail dimensions, coating and joint requirements are appropriate.
The listed configuration contains 300 nails per coil for compatible pneumatic coil nailers. Tool compatibility should be checked using the complete fastener specification, including length, shank diameter, head geometry and wire-coil collation.
2-1/2" nominal length: approximately 63.5–64mm for applications requiring deeper penetration than shorter siding nails.
.092" shank diameter: approximately 2.34mm.
Ring shank: annular ridges increase mechanical engagement with suitable wood fibers.
15° wire coil: designed for compatible wire-collated pneumatic coil nailers.
Electro-galvanized finish: provides zinc-based corrosion protection compared with uncoated bright steel.
Full round head: common head configuration for siding and general wood-fastening applications.
300 nails per coil: high-capacity coil configuration for production and jobsite fastening.
Alternative finishes: hot-dip galvanized and stainless-steel configurations are available within the wider KYA coil nail range; confirm exact size availability.

Confirm the exact head diameter, point configuration, carton packing and electro-galvanized coating specification when these details are part of the purchasing requirement.
Ring-shank nails have raised annular ridges around the shank. As the nail is driven, the rings engage surrounding wood fibers and can increase withdrawal resistance compared with an otherwise comparable smooth-shank nail.
The amount of improvement is not a fixed percentage. Holding performance depends on wood species, density, moisture content, ring geometry, penetration depth and the complete joint design.
| Shank Type | General Characteristic | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Ring Shank | Annular ridges create additional engagement with surrounding wood fibers. | Useful where increased withdrawal resistance is required. |
| Smooth Shank | Straight shank without raised rings. | Common for general production fastening where the specified smooth nail provides adequate holding performance. |
Electro-galvanizing applies a zinc coating to the carbon-steel nail surface. It provides additional corrosion protection compared with uncoated bright steel.
Electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized and stainless-steel fasteners are different corrosion-protection systems. The correct material or coating should be selected according to moisture exposure, timber treatment, siding specification and the required service environment.
| Finish / Material | General Characteristic | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Electro-Galvanized | Electroplated zinc coating on carbon steel. | Select where the specified EG coating provides sufficient corrosion protection. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized | Zinc coating applied through a hot-dip galvanizing process. | Often selected where an appropriate HDG fastener is required for exterior or treated-wood applications. |
| Stainless Steel | Corrosion-resistant alloy throughout the fastener. | Consider where the project specifies stainless steel for higher-moisture or corrosion-sensitive environments. |
Tool compatibility depends on more than the nominal 15° angle. The nailer must accept the 2-1/2-inch length, .092-inch shank diameter, wire-coil format, head geometry and coil dimensions of the selected fastener.
| Tool Reference | Published Range | 2-1/2" × .092" Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Metabo HPT NV65AH2 | Wire coil: 1-1/2"–2-1/2", .090"–.099", up to 300 nails. | Nominal length and diameter fall within its published wire-nail range. Confirm exact head and coil geometry before production use. |
| BOSTITCH N66C-1 | Published as a 1-1/4"–2-1/2" coil siding nailer. | Length class is appropriate; confirm .092" wire fastener and exact collation requirements for the specific tool. |
| MAX CN55 | 1"–2-1/4", .083"–.092" wire coil nails. | 2-1/2" length exceeds the published maximum. |
| SENCO SCN60XP | 2"–2-3/4", .099"–.113" flat wire welded coil nails. | .092" diameter is below the published tool range. |
The 2-1/2-inch length and .092-inch shank place this fastener within a commonly used siding-nail size class. The ring shank is useful where additional resistance to withdrawal is desired.
The correct fastener for a siding system must still be selected according to the siding manufacturer's requirements for material, corrosion resistance, head geometry, penetration and fastening pattern.
Fiber-cement siding manufacturers specify acceptable fastener materials, dimensions, penetration and installation patterns for their individual products. A 2-1/2" × .092" ring-shank nail can only be used where the complete fastener specification meets the applicable siding installation instructions.
Do not assume that ring shank and full round head alone establish compliance with a specific fiber-cement siding system. For James Hardie products, follow the current installation instructions and applicable approved fastener requirements for the project.
This fastener can be used in selected plywood and wood-panel sheathing assemblies where its .092-inch diameter, 2-1/2-inch length and head configuration meet the required fastening schedule.
For structural sheathing or load-rated assemblies, use the nail size and spacing required by the engineering documents, building code or approved assembly rather than selecting solely by general application name.
Ring-shank coil nails are used for timber fence boards, pickets and related fence assemblies where increased shank engagement is beneficial. Confirm that 2-1/2 inches provides the correct penetration for the board and supporting rail.
Exterior fencing also requires appropriate corrosion protection. Select electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel according to moisture exposure and the timber treatment used.
Wire-collated ring-shank nails are also used in selected pallet and wooden crate assemblies. Nail length, shank diameter and withdrawal performance should be matched to the board thickness, timber species and pallet or crate design.
Where a pallet specification defines an exact nail type or performance requirement, use the specified fastener rather than substituting only on the basis of nominal length.
Do not automatically specify electro-galvanized nails for preservative-treated lumber. Treated wood can create a more corrosive environment for steel fasteners.
Where treated lumber is used, follow the timber-treatment supplier and project requirements. An appropriate hot-dip galvanized or stainless-steel fastener is commonly specified for many exterior treated-wood applications.

Discuss Your Coil Nail Requirement
The featured size is 2-1/2 inches long with a .092-inch shank diameter, approximately 63.5–64mm × 2.34mm.
This product uses a ring / annular shank.
The annular ridges engage surrounding wood fibers and can provide greater withdrawal resistance than a comparable smooth-shank fastener.
No fixed percentage should be assumed without testing of the exact nail and substrate. Withdrawal performance varies with ring geometry, timber species, density, moisture and penetration.
The current KYA specification lists 300 nails per coil for this product.
It uses a wire-welded coil in the 15° class. Confirm exact coil geometry with the nailer before production use.
The NV65AH2 published wire-nail range includes 1-1/2"–2-1/2" lengths and .090"–.099" diameters, so this nominal size falls within its dimensional range. Confirm the exact nail and coil geometry before production use.
The N66C is a 2-1/2-inch coil siding nailer. Confirm that the specific tool specification accepts the .092-inch wire fastener, head geometry and selected wire-coil configuration before use.
No. MAX publishes the CN55 for nails up to 2-1/4 inches long. This 2-1/2-inch nail exceeds that published maximum length.
The current SENCO SCN60XP specification lists .099"–.113" nail diameters. This .092-inch fastener is below that published diameter range, so it should not be treated as a direct SCN60XP fastener.
They can only be used where the exact nail dimensions, head, finish, corrosion resistance and penetration satisfy the fiber-cement siding manufacturer's current installation requirements.
No. James Hardie installations must use fasteners that meet the applicable product installation instructions and approved fastening requirements. Ring shank and full round head alone do not establish approval.
Yes, in wood siding applications where the 2-1/2-inch length, .092-inch diameter, head and corrosion protection meet the siding and substrate requirements.
They may be used in selected sheathing assemblies where the exact nail size and fastening schedule are permitted. Structural sheathing should follow the approved drawing, code or engineering requirements.
Yes, for suitable fence boards and pickets where the fastener length provides appropriate penetration into the rail or supporting member.
Suitability depends on weather exposure, moisture, timber treatment and required service life. For sustained exterior or corrosive environments, confirm whether hot-dip galvanized or stainless-steel fasteners are required.
Do not assume they are suitable for every treated-wood application. Follow the preservative supplier and project fastening requirements; appropriate hot-dip galvanized or stainless-steel fasteners are commonly specified for treated lumber.
