Product Description
The HILLMAN FASTENERS 461631 is a 5D galvanized ring shank cedar shake nail sold in a 1-pound box. Ring shank geometry increases withdrawal resistance compared to smooth shank fasteners, making this nail well suited for cedar shake and shingle applications where seasonal wood movement and wind uplift are ongoing concerns. The hot-dip or electro-galvanized coating resists corrosion in the exposed, moisture-prone environment typical of roofing and siding work. At 1.75 inches in length, the 5D sizing is the standard specification for single-course cedar shake installation. Roofing contractors and exterior siding crews are the primary installers.
This nail is used in residential and light commercial exterior applications, primarily for installing cedar shake roofing and cedar shingle siding. The 1.75-inch length and ring shank profile meet common manufacturer and code requirements for shake fastening. Each box contains 1 pound of nails. Cases are packed 12 boxes per case, making this item practical for stocking a service truck or job-site supply. This product is appropriate for new construction and re-roofing or re-siding projects.

Compatibility
Designed for use as a standard fastener in cedar shake roofing and cedar shingle siding installations where a 5D, 1.75-inch galvanized ring shank nail is specified.
Installation Notes
Roofing and siding contractors install these nails using a pneumatic coil or framing nailer set to the appropriate drive pressure, or by hand with a roofing hammer. Follow local building codes and the shake manufacturer’s fastening schedule for nail placement, penetration depth, and spacing requirements. Inspect the substrate for dry, sound decking or sheathing before fastening. Do not overdrive nails, as this can fracture the shake face and compromise weather resistance.
