How to Specify Lost Head Wire Nails for Your Application
- Size: Select on nominal diameter, then on the hole tolerance and fit class — the fit, not the diameter alone, determines whether the part locates or slips. This product spans 10 mm–38 mm; check the full table below for the exact dimensions of each size.
- Material: Choose the material and finish for the service environment — plated steel for general use, stainless for corrosion resistance.
- Environment: For damp, coastal or chemical exposure prefer A4/316 stainless or a suitable coating; indoors, plated steel or A2 is usually sufficient.
- Standard: This product is supplied to DIN 1152. Quoting the standard on your order guarantees interchangeable dimensions between suppliers.
Where Lost Head Wire Nails Are Not the Right Choice
Not for joints needing later removal or high withdrawal resistance — a screw holds far better in tension.
