Product Information

Full details

The TIMco Clout Nail (25 x 2.65mm, 1kg bag, Silver) is designed for roofing professionals and DIY enthusiasts seeking a secure and durable fastening solution for various roofing materials. Its primary benefit lies in the large diameter round head, ensuring enhanced stability and a strong fix on roofing felt, slate, and shingles. A key consideration is its medium rust protection, making it best suited for rural and sheltered environments where occasional dampness may occur, rather than highly exposed coastal or industrial settings.

FAQs

What is the primary use for these clout nails?

These nails are primarily designed for securing roofing felt, slate, and shingles, offering a stable and durable fix.

How much rust protection do these nails offer?

They offer medium rust protection due to their galvanised finish, making them suitable for rural and sheltered environments with occasional dampness.

Are these nails suitable for coastal areas?

No, the medium rust protection is generally not sufficient for highly corrosive coastal environments. Nails with higher corrosion resistance ratings are recommended for such areas.

How many nails are in a 1kg bag?

A 1kg bag contains approximately 815 nails.

What standards do these nails conform to?

They conform to Eurocode 5 and Service Class 2 standards, ensuring reliability and durability in specified conditions.

Can I use these nails for general carpentry?

While they can be used for some general fastening, their large head is specifically optimized for roofing applications. For general carpentry, other nail types might be more appropriate.

What is the shank diameter of these nails?

The shank diameter is 2.65mm.

Troubleshooting

Nails not fully penetrating roofing material

Check nail gun pressure or manual hammering force. Ensure the material is not excessively hard or thick for the nail size. Remove obstructions from the tool's magazine.

Nail head sinking too deep or damaging material

Reduce nail gun pressure or hammering force. Ensure the correct nail collation type is used if using a nail gun. For manual hammering, use controlled, firm blows.

Premature rust or corrosion

Ensure nails are stored in a dry location. If the application environment is more severe than Service Class 2, consider nails with a higher corrosion resistance rating.

Nails bending during installation

Verify that the nail gun is firing straight. Ensure there are no hidden hard materials (like dense wood knots or metal flashing) in the impact zone. Check if the material being fastened is adequately supported.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very secure fixing due to the large head diameter.
  • Offers adequate rust protection for many common roofing environments.
  • Meets relevant industry standards for reliability.
  • Suitable for a range of common roofing materials.
  • Convenient quantity in a 1kg bag for typical projects.

Cons

  • Medium rust protection is not suitable for highly corrosive environments (e.g., coastal).
  • Nail size may be too short for very thick roofing materials.
  • Primarily designed for specific roofing applications, less versatile for general construction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These nails are designed for use with standard roofing nail guns or manual hammering. Ensure your tool is set to the appropriate pressure for the nail size and roofing material to avoid over-driving or under-driving the nail.

Compatibility:

  • Roofing Materials: Compatible with roofing felt, slate, and shingles.
  • Environment: Best suited for Service Class 2 environments (occasionally damp/wet, rural, and sheltered areas).

Care:

  • Store nails in a dry environment to prevent premature corrosion of the galvanised coating.
  • Handle with care to avoid personal injury.
  • Inspect finished work periodically for any signs of corrosion or loosening, especially in areas subject to harsher conditions than recommended.
