Proper fasteners are a critical component in a sound wood frame
structure. To ensure successful installations of its connectors, MiTek
offers a full range of structurally-rated nails. All galvanized nails supplied
by MiTek are Hot-dipped for greater corrosion resistance. Any MiTek
connector requiring a NA16D-RS or NA20D nail is shipped with the nails
attached to the connector in convenient poly bags.
Finish: See Nail Specication Table on page 23.
Materials: ASTM A 123; ASTM A 153 (HDG)
Installation:
• Allowable shear values assume nail embedment into the wood of the
entire nail or 10 nail diameters (whichever is less). Otherwise, the nail
must be embedded at least 6 nail diameters, with the load reduced using
the equation below:
Reduced Load =
Published Load x Actual Penetration
Nail Diameter x 10
• Load reductions may occur if nails are used other than those specied.
See the chart Optional Nails for Face Mount Hangers below for load
reduction factors regarding nail substitutions.
• For pneumatic nail use, see Installation Notes on page 19 and
reference MiTek’s technical bulletins.

Optional Nails Example:
JL210 – listed load is 1650 lbs. @ 100% for 10d
common nails.
If substituting:
8d common nails with DF-L or LVL:
1650 lbs. x .83 = 1369 lbs.
8d common nails with SP:
1650 lbs. x .90 = 1485 lbs.
8d common nails with S-P-F:
1650 lbs. x .72 = 1188 lbs.
No further reductions are required.
!
How to Use:
The base value is the catalog listed nail in Douglas
Fir-Larch and the adjustment factor is the multiplier for
the applicable replacement nail and wood combination.
• Adjustment factors may vary with some custom
hangers or steel thicker than 10 gauge. Contact MiTek
for exceptions.
• Roofing nails shall not be substituted for any nail
size or type.
Optional Nails for Face Mount Hangers and Straight Straps
Reductions are taken from appropriate DF value found in the load chart.
