This is a hand-drive connector nail designed for structural connector fastening in framing and modular construction. Model Number: \u003cstrong\u003e10D5HDG-R\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you are installing hangers, straps, or similar metal connectors, this nail matters because connector performance depends on using the right fastener, not just any nail that happens to fit the hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis version is a 3 inch by 0.148 inch smooth-shank nail with a full round head and hot-dip galvanized Class D coating. In practical terms, that gives you the length, shank size, and head style associated with Simpson connector fastening while also adding corrosion protection for exterior work and use around compatible treated-lumber hardware. It also complies with ASTM F1667 for metal hardware nails, which is the kind of spec that matters when the fastener is part of the load path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe design is straightforward on purpose. A smooth shank drives cleanly by hand, the full round head gives solid bearing on connector holes, and the head ID stamp helps with quick identification on site. That last part sounds small until you are sorting fasteners out of a pouch or bucket and need to know you grabbed the right connector nail instead of a standard framing nail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThe coating is another key reason to choose this nail over a generic bright nail. Simpson lists this fastener as hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A153 Class D, and it is compatible with Simpson Strong-Tie ZMAX connectors. For exterior framing, deck work, repairs, and other jobs where corrosion resistance matters, that coating helps match the environment and the hardware system you are installing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis is not a collated nail for a nailer. It is a hand-drive nail sold in a 250-count box. That makes it a good fit for crews doing connector installation, punch-list structural repairs, modular construction, and smaller framing jobs where hand driving is still the right move. If you need exact connector fasteners for inspections or code-driven work, buying the specified nail is usually cheaper than failing an inspection or reworking hardware later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Framers, remodelers, deck builders, general contractors, and serious DIYers using Simpson Strong-Tie connectors. If your hardware schedule calls for a 10d connector nail and you want a galvanized option in a jobsite-friendly pack size, this is the practical pick. If you need collated nails for a positive-placement nailer, this is not that product. But for hand-driven connector installation, it is the right kind of nail for the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits\" class=\"acc\"\u003e\n  \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUse the Fastener Your Connector Was Designed Around\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/ssttoolbox.widen.net\/content\/csyjgq6wc2\/jpeg\/C_IUS_InstPho_Pho_Inst_I-JoistHybridHanger-Jobsite_C0.jpeg?position=c\u0026amp;color=ffffffff\u0026amp;u=cjmyin\" alt=\"Simpson Strong-Tie 10D5HDG-R Strong-Drive SCN Smooth-Shank Connector Nail used during wood framing to fasten a metal joist hanger on a jobsite\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\n      \u003c\/div\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eConnector hardware is only as good as the fastener holding it.
