| Available Lengths (Inches) | 3/4" (19mm), 1" (25mm), 1-1/4" (32mm), 1-1/2" (38mm), 1-3/4" (45mm), 2" (50mm) | "The Felt Nail" (3/4"-1.25") vs. "The Standard Shingle Nail" (1.5"-1.75") |
| Available Lengths (Metric) | 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 38mm, 45mm, 50mm | Essential for specifiers in Australia, UK, and Middle East markets. |
| Shank Diameter (Wire Gauge) | 11 Gauge: 0.120" (3.05mm) | 11 Gauge is often called "Heavy-Duty Coils" for high wind areas. |
| 12 Gauge: 0.106" (2.68mm) | 12 Gauge is the industry standard for general asphalt shingle work. | |
| 13 Gauge: 0.092" (2.34mm) | ||
| Shank Type | Smooth Shank: Standard holding power. | Ring Shank is often nicknamed "Ring Nails" or "Grip Nails" on site. |
| Ring Shank: Annular rings for max withdrawal resistance. | ||
| Screw Shank: (Less common, but available on request). | ||
| Head Type & Diameter | Full Round Head: 0.300" - 0.350" (7.6mm - 8.9mm) | The larger head (0.350") acts as a "Mini Umbrella" for felt paper, preventing tear-through. |
| D-Shaped Head: For specific metal roofing applications. | ||
| Point Type | Diamond Point: Standard for wood. | Diamond point is standard for OSB and Plywood decking. |
| Blunt Point: For harder materials to prevent bending. | ||
| Collation Angle | 15 Degree: The most common for wire-weld roofing nailers (Senco, Bostitch, Hitachi). | "Wire Weld 15°" is the most searched term. If you have a "coil nailer," you likely need 15°. |
| 34 Degree: For specific European/plastic sheet nailers. | ||
| Collation Material | Wire Weld: Steel wire holding nails together. Better heat resistance. | Wire Weld is preferred in hot climates (like Middle East/Australia) because it won't melt in the gun. |
| Plastic Strip/Sheet: (Less common for roofing). | ||
| Material & Coating | Bright (Uncoated): Interior use only. | HDG is often just called "Galvy" on the truck. |
| Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG): Standard exterior. Thick, matte gray coating. | 410 Stainless is the "Contractor Grade Stainless" for most coastal homes. | |
| Electro-Galvanized (EG): Thin, shiny coating. Not for long-term exterior. | ||
| Stainless Steel (410): Magnetic, corrosion resistant for coastal. | ||
| Stainless Steel (316): Non-magnetic, maximum marine grade. | ||
| Finish Clarification | Passivated (SS only): Sinsun passivates stainless nails to remove iron contamination and prevent surface rust. | If a stainless nail rusts immediately, it wasn't passivated. Sinsun does this as standard. |
| Coil Capacity | Standard: 120 nails per coil. | 120 Coils are the standard "Pro Pack." |
| High-Load: 180-240 nails per coil (for production crews to reload less). | ||
| Packaging | Box: 20 coils (2,400 nails). | |
| Carton: 4 boxes (9,600 nails). | ||
| Pallet: 40-48 cartons (~400,000 nails). |
Uses for Sinsun Roofing Coil Nails
Asphalt Shingle Installation
For any roofing crew, this is the most important thing. When putting down architectural or three-tab shingles, you need to be very careful.
You want the nail to go in just the right amount—flush to the shingle surface but not break it.
Even when you're reaching awkward angles on a dormer, the wire-weld collation on Sinsun's nailer keeps the nail in place in the magazine.
Our galvanized nails have a full round head that holds the shingle tab in place without tearing the fiberglass mat.
This keeps the shingles from blowing off during spring storms.
Roof Deck Sheathing
You need to attach the OSB or plywood to the trusses before the felt is laid down. You switch from smooth to ring shank roofing with coil nails here.
People who inspect buildings in areas likely to get cyclones (like North Queensland) are very strict about this. They look for that ring shank to ensure the deck doesn't come up.
The annular rings hold the roof together so that it can withstand high winds' racking forces, making the whole roof structure into one solid diaphragm. When the nail gun recoils, you'll feel the difference. It's a strong connection.
Metal Roofing & Flashing
Working with tin? You need roofing nails with 3/4 coils. When guys use longer nails on metal trim, the ridge cap is crushed.The secret is short nails.
To keep the metal from "telegraphing," we use a small head diameter for these specific runs. They sew the metal panels to the purlins in a way that keeps oil out.
If you live on the coast and have Colorbond steel, switching to our 410 stainless steel coil nails will stop the awful white rust that happens when galvanized and salt meet.
Felt Paper & Underlayment
Put down the synthetic felt or the ice and water shield? Don't waste staples; they come out. A roofing coil nail with a big head 1-1/4 inches long is like a tiny umbrella.
It holds the slippery synthetic underlayment flat so that the wind can't get underneath it and pull it off the roof before the shingles even get there. It's quick, cheap, and it stops callbacks before they start.
Guide to Installing (Quick Tips)

Check the pressure
Check the pressure by setting your compressor to 70–90 PSI. Change it until the nail head is level with the roofing material. Lower the pressure if you're pushing the nail head through the shingles.

Loading the Coil
When you load Sinsun wire-weld coils, make sure the wire side is facing the right way according to your nailer's manual (usually away from the contact arm). The most common cause of "bird-nesting" is reverse load.

Nail Placement
For shingles, the nail line is usually 5-1/2 inches up from the bottom edge and 1 inch in from the end. Align the nailer shoe with the edge of the shingle to keep speed steady.

What Our Customers Say
"Mate, we had problems with plastic collation melting in the nail gun if we left it on the roof for 10 minutes in the sun. Changed to Sinsun's galvanized roofing coil nails with wire weld. No jams. The ring-shank version holds onto the hardwood battens like a bulldog. We've ordered 20 more cases for the next estate build."
Construction Managers in DubaiOur beachfront villas needed 316 stainless steel, but the cost was crazy. Six months ago, we put Sinsun's 410 stainless steel roofing coil nails to the test in a cabana. They are exposed to salty air and dampness every day. I just checked them and there was no red rust or bleeding. We are now using them for the main project. The 1-3/4 length fits perfectly into our concrete formwork.
"The UK, re-roofing means using old, warped wood. I've tried cheaper nails that either bend or have teeny heads that put Sinsun 11-gauge galvanized nails have a thick head that holds. We aren't fighting nail gun jams every five minutes, so my guys get through roofs faster."
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A: Most of our products work best with 15-degree wire-weld coil nailers, which are the most common type in the business (think Senco, Bostitch, Makita). We also have 34-degree strips for some European and Asian tools, though. Before you order, check the angle of your tool's magazine.
A: That's an excellent question. Galvanized nails' zinc coating will eventually wear away. If your house is 50 meters from the beach, you need stainless steel. In two to three years, salt air will eat through galvanized steel. Sinsun stainless steel roofing coil nails are 410 grade and magnetic. However, they are also resistant to rust, which is important for work near the coast.
A: Most of the time, it's either cheap nails with wires of the same size or the wrong collation angle. Sinsun nails are made with tight tolerances. Check the air pressure as well. If it's too high, the nail can bounce out; if it's too low, it won't sink right, which can cause jams.
A: Each box has 20 coils, and each coil has 120 nails, so each box has 2,400 nails. This keeps our packaging working well and cuts down on waste.
A: Yes, of course. We think it's an excellent idea. Before you buy a container or a pallet, we want you to run a coil through your nailer on site. Contact our sales team to get a sample pack.
A: Yes, 15° angle fits most standard pneumatic roofing tools.
A: 120-240 per coil, based on nail length selected.
A: Yes, stainless steel variants are safe for metal roofing installs.
A: Yes, galvanized & stainless steel options work with treated lumber.
