FAQs

What type of environments are these nails suitable for?

These nails are rated for Corrosion Class 3, making them suitable for urban and industrial areas with low salt atmospheres. They are not recommended for direct coastal or marine environments.

What materials can these nails be used to fasten?

They are ideal for securing roofing felt, asphalt shingles, and slate tiles to wooden battens or structures commonly used in roofing.

How many nails are in a 1kg tub?

A 1kg tub contains approximately 2000 nails.

What are the dimensions of these nails?

The nails measure 30mm in length and have a shank diameter of 2.65mm.

Will these nails rust?

Due to their high-quality aluminium construction, these nails offer exceptional rust protection and are highly resistant to corrosion in suitable environments.

Can these nails be used with a nail gun?

Yes, they can be used with pneumatic nailing guns specifically designed for clout nails, provided they are compatible with the nail size and material.

Troubleshooting

Nail bending during driving

Ensure the nail is driven straight into the material. Check for obstructions in the wood. Use a firmer strike or a different nailing angle. Consider if the material being fastened is too dense for this nail size and material.

Material pull-through

Verify the head size of the nail is sufficient for the material being secured. Ensure consistent driving depth and avoid over-penetration.

Corrosion observed on nails

While aluminium offers good resistance, check if the nails have been exposed to highly corrosive substances or prolonged moisture in storage. Ensure storage is in a dry location. Confirm the environment of use matches Corrosion Rating 3.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent rust and corrosion resistance for extended outdoor use.
  • Large head design provides secure material holding.
  • Durable construction suitable for professional roofing jobs.
  • Cost-effective supply with approximately 2000 nails per 1kg tub.
  • Specifically designed for common roofing materials.

Cons

  • Corrosion rating 3 limits suitability in high-salt or marine environments.
  • Requires appropriate nailing tools or hammer for driving.
  • Aluminium may be softer than steel, potentially requiring more care when driving into harder materials.

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.
