Standard Specification for Driven Fasteners: Nails, Spikes, and Staples
ABSTRACT
This specification covers nails, spikes, staples, and other fasteners driven by hand tool, power tool, or mechanical device in single or multiple strikes and are positioned by hand, tool, or machine. The driven fasteners are classified as type I: nails (NL); type II: cut nails (CN); type III: spikes (SP); and type IV: staples (ST). Materials shall be tested and the individual types shall conform to the material requirements and physical properties, such as ductility, tensile strength. Protective coating and finishes are also detailed.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers nails, spikes, staples, and other driven fasteners, as listed in Table 1.
Note 1: Fastener ductility information is presented in Table 2 and dimensional information in Tables 3–65. (A) All dimensions given in inches. (A) All dimensions are given in inches. (A) All dimension are given in inches. (A) All dimensions are given in inches. (A) All dimensions are given in inches.(B) Dashes (—) indicate that the fastener size is not a standard size.
† Editorially corrected in March 2012. (A) All dimensions are given in inches.(B) Dashes (—) indicate that the fastener size is not a standard size.
L = length, in., H = head diameter, in., TL = length of threaded shank, in., max = maximum acceptable value (not subject to tolerances), min = minimum acceptable value (not subject to tolerances), D = shank diameter, in., T1 = crest diameter, in., and P = pitch, or spacing of threads, in. (A) All dimensions are given in inches.(B) Root diameter is a calculated value and is not specified as a dimension to be measured.
L = length, in., H = head diameter, in., TL = length of threaded shank, in., max = maximum acceptable value (not subject to tolerances), min = minimum acceptable value (not subject to tolerances), D = shank diameter, in., T1 = crest diameter, in., and P = pitch, or spacing of threads, in. (A) All dimensions are given in inches.(B) Nails shall comply with the supplementary requirements of S1 and Table S1.1.(C) Nails identified as “F1667 NLRSRS” must meet all applicable requirements of F1667 for the specified roof sheathing ring shank nail.(D) Individual rings shall be approximately frustrums, circular in transverse cross section, axially symmetric, and formed on the nail axis such that the minor diameter is closer to the nail point and the major diameter is closer to the nail head. The thread shall be continuous over the minimum thread length, TLmin. (A) All dimensions are given in inches.

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
