KYA Fasteners supplies 34 degree paper collated joist hanger nails for fastening compatible metal connectors to timber. These structural connector fasteners are used with specified joist hangers, connector straps, hurricane ties, seismic ties and related metal-to-wood connections in professional timber construction.
The product range includes 3.3×38mm, 3.4×35mm and other paper collated connector nail sizes, with electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel options. KYA also lists 34 degree paper tape anchor nails with larger shank diameters for compatible connector fastening systems.
For reliable product selection, buyers should confirm the connector manufacturer's required nail diameter, length, head configuration, shank type, corrosion protection and installation pattern. The collation angle alone does not establish compatibility with a nailer or structural connector.
Joist hanger nails, also known as metal connector nails or connector fasteners, are designed for attaching specified metal connector plates and structural hardware to wood members. They are commonly used in engineered timber connections where the nail dimensions and installation layout form part of the connector design.
Unlike general-purpose framing nails, joist hanger nails must match the fastener requirements of the selected connector. Important characteristics include shank diameter, length, head bearing area, point design, material and surface finish. Certain connector systems also require identifiable nail head markings or specific shank designs.
KYA's 34 degree paper tape collation allows grouped nails to feed through compatible nailers. The tool must accept the exact connector nail size and head configuration and provide suitable positioning for installation through connector holes.
KYA offers several product configurations for professional connector fastening. The following listed products provide reference points for comparing dimensions, finishing materials and connector nail types.
| KYA Product | Reference Size | Collation | Product Distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.3×38mm Joist Hanger Nails | 3.3 × 38mm | 34° Paper Tape | Metric connector nail size for compatible timber hardware applications. |
| 3.4×35mm Electro-Galvanized Joist Hanger Nails | 3.4 × 35mm | 34° Paper Tape | Electro-galvanized model with a listed 12μm coating designation. |
| 34° Paper Collated Joist Hanger Nails | 0.148" × 1-1/2" reference model | 34° Paper Tape | Imperial connector nail reference size for suitable metal connector systems. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized Joist Hanger Nails | 0.131" × 1-1/2" reference model | 34° Paper Tape | HDG steel option for applications requiring a specified corrosion-resistant finish. |

Connector nails are selected primarily by actual shank diameter and length. KYA's 34 degree paper collated joist hanger nail family includes several metric diameter and length combinations. These are reference dimensions for comparing product requirements.
| Nominal Size | Listed Diameter Range | Listed Length | Collation Angle | Nails per Strip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.4 × 35mm | 3.36–3.40mm | 35 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
| 3.3 × 35mm | 3.26–3.30mm | 35 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
| 3.3 × 38mm | 3.26–3.30mm | 38 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
| 3.76 × 38mm | 3.71–3.76mm | 38 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
| 3.76 × 40mm | 3.71–3.76mm | 40 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
| 3.76 × 50mm | 3.71–3.76mm | 50 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
| 3.76 × 64mm | 3.71–3.76mm | 64 ± 1mm | 34° ± 1° | 25 |
The dimensions above reflect the listed KYA joist hanger nail series. Head dimensions, shank configurations and finishes should be confirmed for the exact product being ordered. The separate 4.0mm anchor nail series uses its own specifications and packaging arrangements.
KYA's featured joist hanger nails use 34 degree paper tape collation for sequential feeding through compatible metal connector nailers. Paper tape holds the fasteners together before driving, allowing repeated fastening operations without manually positioning each loose nail.
A 34 degree magazine angle does not mean that every 34 degree framing nailer is suitable for structural connector nails. Tool compatibility depends on the accepted nail diameter, length, head shape, collation dimensions and fastening mechanism.
Dedicated metal connector nailers may include a locating nose designed to position the fastener at the specified connector hole. This feature supports accurate installation through metal hardware. General framing nailers may not have the same locating mechanism or accept the same short, large-diameter connector nails.
Exact nailer manufacturer and model
Accepted paper tape collation angle
Permitted nail shank diameter and length
Required full-round, offset or anchor-head geometry
Magazine and nail-strip compatibility
Connector-hole positioning capability
Connector manufacturer's approved fastening method
Check the nailer manual and connector installation schedule before using a replacement fastener. Similar nail dimensions or matching paper collation do not guarantee identical structural performance.
Connector nails may use different head and shank designs according to the fastener series. These features affect how the nail engages the metal connector and timber receiving member.
The nail head must provide the bearing geometry required by the connector and be accepted by the fastening tool. Depending on the product design, connector nails may use full-round, offset-round or specialized anchor-head arrangements. Confirm the exact head configuration rather than relying on the collation angle alone.
Smooth shank connector nails have a straight shank profile. They are used where the specified connector fastening schedule permits the selected smooth shank dimensions and material properties.
Ring shank connector nails have annular ridges that engage timber fibers and can increase withdrawal resistance in suitable wood. Their use in structural connectors must follow the specified nail type and connection requirements.
Screw or spiral shank configurations are available within selected connector nail product ranges. They should be chosen only when the connector manufacturer or applicable project specification accepts the particular fastener design.
KYA lists electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel joist hanger nails. Corrosion protection must be selected together with the metal connector finish, timber treatment, environmental exposure and project requirements.
| Material or Finish | Characteristics | Selection Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Electro-Galvanized Steel | Zinc-plated steel surface. | Typically considered for protected conditions when the coating meets the connector and project requirements. |
| Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel | Steel fastener with a hot-dip zinc coating. | Selected exterior or treated-timber applications when the specified coating and connector finish are compatible. |
| 304 Stainless Steel | Austenitic stainless steel with corrosion-resistant characteristics. | Use with suitable connector materials where the required corrosion resistance and structural specifications are satisfied. |
| 316 Stainless Steel | Stainless steel grade with improved resistance to certain chloride exposures compared with 304. | Consider for demanding corrosion conditions when specified with a compatible connector system. |
For structural connector fastening, select the fastener finish according to the connector manufacturer's installation instructions. A general description such as galvanized does not establish the required coating thickness or compliance with a particular corrosion-protection standard.
Joist hanger nails and framing nails can look similar, particularly when they use paper tape collation. However, they serve different fastening requirements and must be identified by their complete specifications.
| Comparison | Joist Hanger Nails | General Framing Nails |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Application | Metal connector-to-timber fastening. | Wood framing and other specified wood assemblies. |
| Length Selection | Determined by the connector fastening schedule. | Determined by the framing connection requirements. |
| Head Requirements | Must match connector-hole and fastening requirements. | Must match the framing design and applicable nail specification. |
| Tool Requirements | Compatible metal connector nailer or another specified installation method. | Compatible framing nailer or specified driving method. |
| Interchangeability | Use only where the connector manufacturer permits the exact fastener. | Not a substitute for connector nails based only on matching length or angle. |
