KYA 34 Degree Paper Tape Anchor Nails are designed for fastening joist hangers, joist shoes, metal connector plates and other structural timber connectors. The featured KYA-ANCHOR 4X45 configuration uses a 4.0mm diameter, 45mm length, 34° paper tape collation and Anker / anchor head.
The broader KYA anchor nail family covers published lengths from 37mm to 75mm with smooth, ring and screw shank options and bright, electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel configurations. Select the exact nail according to the connector specification, timber application and compatible anchor or metal-connector nailer.

The specifications above identify the featured 4.0 x 45mm KYA-ANCHOR 4X45. The 37–75mm range and multiple shank and finish options belong to the wider anchor nail family and should not be interpreted as one single SKU.
Anchor nails are used where metal connectors are fastened to structural timber through pre-punched or pre-drilled connector holes. Typical hardware includes joist hangers, joist shoes, brackets, straps, connector plates and selected truss or rafter connectors.
Because these connections can be structural, the nail diameter, length, head geometry, shank, material and corrosion protection should match the connector manufacturer's fastening schedule and the applicable project requirements.
The featured KYA nail uses a 4.0mm diameter. This dimension is particularly relevant when matching the nail to the connector hole, nailer magazine and structural fastening requirement.
Do not substitute a smaller framing nail solely because it uses a similar 34° paper strip. Standard framing nails can differ in diameter, head geometry and intended connector application.
This product page features the 45mm length. Select this size only when the connector, timber thickness and installation specification require the corresponding penetration.
Other anchor nail lengths within the published 37–75mm family should be ordered as separate configurations and matched to the intended connector and tool.
The featured fastener uses an Anker head, also described as an anchor head. This head configuration is associated with timber connector fastening and provides a bearing surface against the metal connector around the fastener hole.
Head geometry is also part of nailer compatibility. Verify that the exact anchor or metal-connector nailer accepts the required head profile before ordering.
KYA publishes this anchor nail with 34-degree paper tape collation. Paper strips allow multiple nails to be loaded into compatible professional anchor or metal-connector nailers.
The collation angle should be treated as only one compatibility parameter. Nail diameter, length, head shape, strip geometry and the tool manufacturer's accepted fastener specification must also match.
KYA publishes smooth, ring and screw shank options within the wider anchor nail family. The required shank should follow the connector specification rather than being selected only on general holding-power preference.
| Shank Type | Selection Consideration |
|---|---|
| Smooth Shank | Use where the connector or construction specification permits a smooth-shank anchor nail. |
| Ring Shank | Annular rings increase mechanical engagement with timber and can provide greater withdrawal resistance than a comparable smooth shank. |
| Screw Shank | Published family option for applications requiring this shank profile. Confirm the exact connector and tool requirements. |
KYA publishes bright, electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel configurations within the anchor nail family. The required finish should be selected according to the connector material, timber treatment, environmental exposure and project specification.
| Finish / Material | Selection Guidance |
|---|---|
| Bright | Uncoated configuration for applications where corrosion protection is not required by the project specification. |
| Electro-Galvanized | Zinc-coated option for protected applications where this coating level is permitted. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized | Published option for projects requiring a heavier galvanized coating. Confirm suitability with the connector and treated timber specification. |
| Stainless Steel | Published family option for applications requiring stainless fasteners. Confirm exact stainless grade, connector compatibility and size before ordering. |

Use these fasteners with a purpose-built anchor, joist-hanger or metal-connector nailer whose published fastener range accepts the required paper tape collation, approximately 4.0mm diameter, 45mm length and anchor-head profile.
Do not assume that a general-purpose 34° framing nailer is compatible. Many framing nailers use smaller-diameter offset or clipped-head nails and have minimum fastener lengths longer than the 45mm anchor nail featured on this page.
For purchasing confirmation, provide the exact tool brand and model together with the current fastener specification or a sample nail.
| Feature | Anchor / Metal Connector Nail | Standard Framing Nail |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Use | Joist hangers and structural metal connectors | General timber framing and sheathing |
| Connector Hole Matching | Selected to match connector holes and fastening schedule | Not automatically suitable for metal connector holes |
| Head Profile | Anchor / connector-specific head profile | Varies by framing nail system |
| Tool Selection | Purpose-built anchor or metal-connector nailer preferred | General framing nailer |
KYA paper tape anchor nails are intended for professional timber-connector fastening where the selected nail configuration complies with the connector and project requirements.

Check the metal connector manufacturer's fastening schedule for the required nail diameter, length, head type, shank type and corrosion protection.
The featured KYA anchor nail uses a 4.0mm diameter. Do not replace it with a smaller-diameter framing nail unless the connector specification explicitly permits the alternative.
This page features the 45mm model. Other lengths within the family should be selected according to the connector, timber member and required penetration.
Specify smooth, ring or screw shank according to the approved connection detail rather than automatically substituting one profile for another.
Match the nail material or coating with the connector material, treated timber requirements and installation environment.
Verify the complete fastener range of the exact nailer. The tool should accept the required diameter, length, anchor-head profile and paper-tape collation.
