Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
These nails are designed for direct application using a hammer. Ensure you are using an appropriate hammer with a suitable striking face. For larger projects, pneumatic nailing guns designed for clout nails can also be used, provided they are compatible with the nail size and material.
Compatibility:
TIMco Aluminium Clout Nails (30 x 2.65mm) are best suited for fastening common roofing materials such as:
- Roofing felt
- Asphalt shingles
- Slate tiles (where appropriate for the fixing method)
- Soft wood battens and timbers commonly found in roofing structures.
They are recommended for use in environments described by Corrosion Class 3 (urban and industrial areas with low salt atmosphere). Avoid use in marine or coastal environments where salt spray is prevalent.
Care:
Store nails in a dry environment to maintain their condition. The aluminium construction provides inherent rust protection, but prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances without proper storage can still degrade the material over extended periods. Clean any dust or debris from the work area before and after application.
