KYA 34 Degree Paper Tape Anchor Nails are designed for fastening metal connectors to timber in structural wood construction. The featured KYA-AN440 configuration uses a 4.0mm diameter, 40mm length, 34° paper tape collation, anchor head and diamond point.
The product is intended for compatible positive-placement or anchor nailers used with joist hangers, joist shoes, connector plates and other pre-drilled timber connectors. KYA publishes electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel configurations within the anchor nail range.

The specification above describes the featured 4.0 x 40mm KYA-AN440. The broader KYA anchor nail range includes other lengths, finishes and shank configurations, which should be confirmed separately when ordering.
The anchor head is designed for metal connector fastening where the nail must bear against a pre-drilled connector plate or joist hanger. Confirm that the connector manufacturer permits the selected nail dimensions for the intended connection.
KYA publishes a ring-shank option for the anchor nail range. The annular shank increases mechanical engagement with timber compared with a comparable smooth shank and is commonly selected where higher withdrawal resistance is required.
The published KYA anchor nail uses a diamond point for penetration into timber through the connector opening. Tool setup, timber species and connector geometry should all be considered during installation.
KYA-AN440 nails are collated on 34-degree paper tape with a published capacity of 22 nails per strip. This format is intended for compatible anchor or positive-placement nailers that accept the correct diameter, head profile, length and paper strip configuration.
Do not determine tool compatibility from the 34° angle alone. Different framing and connector nailers can use different head profiles, shank diameters, fastener lengths and magazine systems.
The featured 4.0 x 40mm configuration is intended for timber connector work where the connector, timber member and fastening specification call for this nail size.
Joist hanger fastening
Joist shoe fastening
Metal connector plates
Pre-drilled timber connectors
Structural timber connections
Selected framing connector applications
Because connector fastening can be structural, the nail diameter, length, shank type, finish and connector-hole specification should match the requirements of the connector system and project documentation.
KYA publishes a broader anchor nail family covering 37mm to 75mm nominal lengths. The product on this page is specifically the 40mm configuration.
| Parameter | Published Range |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 4.0mm / 0.157" |
| Family Length Range | 37–75mm / approximately 1-7/16"–3" |
| Featured Product | 4.0 x 40mm / KYA-AN440 |
| Collation | 34° Paper Tape |
| Strip Capacity | 22 nails |
Do not treat every length in the 37–75mm family range as interchangeable. The connector design, tool capacity, required timber penetration and structural fastening specification determine the correct length.
KYA publishes multiple corrosion-protection options for 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 Consideration |
|---|---|
| Electro-Galvanized | Published zinc-coated steel option for applications where this corrosion-protection level is permitted. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized | Published galvanized option for projects requiring a different zinc-coating specification. |
| Stainless Steel 304 | Published stainless material option. Confirm exact size and current configuration when ordering. |
| Stainless Steel 316 | Published stainless material option for specifications requiring 316 grade. Confirm exact product configuration before ordering. |
Do not substitute one coating or stainless grade for another without confirming the connector manufacturer's corrosion requirements and the applicable construction specification.
| Shank Type | Characteristics |
|---|---|
| Ring Shank | Annular rings provide increased mechanical engagement with timber and higher withdrawal resistance than a comparable smooth shank. |
| Smooth Shank | Plain shank configuration for applications where a smooth anchor nail is specified or permitted. |
The required shank type should follow the connector, structural design and fastening specification rather than being selected only by general holding-power preference.
These nails are intended for compatible nailers designed for paper-collated anchor or metal connector nails. Before ordering, confirm that the exact tool accepts 4.0mm diameter nails, 40mm length, 34° paper tape collation and the required anchor-head profile.
Professional anchor nailer systems from different manufacturers can use similar 34° formats while specifying different nail lengths, strip capacities or dimensional tolerances. Tool compatibility should therefore be verified against the exact model manual.
Check the joist hanger, joist shoe or connector manufacturer's specification for the required nail diameter, length, head configuration and corrosion protection.
The featured KYA-AN440 uses a 4.0mm diameter. Connector holes and structural requirements should match this nail diameter.
This product is the 40mm version. Select another family length only when the connector system, timber thickness and nailer specifications require it.
Specify ring or smooth shank according to the fastening specification. Do not automatically substitute one shank type for another in a structural connection.
Choose EG, HDG or stainless steel according to connector material, treated timber requirements, moisture exposure and project documentation.
Verify that the exact nailer accepts 34° paper tape anchor nails with the required diameter, length, head profile and strip configuration.
