Technical Specifications — Nylon Nail-Its

Before installing Nylon Nail-it Anchors, certain technical specifications should be considered to ensure a safe and proper installation. Nylon Nail-its are available in 3/16” and 1/4” diameters. Three head styles are offered - round, flat and mushroom - allowing the nylon-nail to meet a variety of fastening needs. Hole diameter is equal to the anchor diameter and only a hammer is required for installation.

Nylon Nail-it Anchor Length:
To determine the required length of the Nylon Nail-it Anchor, simply add the thickness of the material to be fastened to the minimum embedment.

Nylon Nail-it Anchor Spacing:
The forces on a Nylon Nail-it Anchor are transferred to the base material in which it is installed. If the anchors are installed too close together, it can cause an interaction of the forces, thus reducing the holding power of the anchor. As a rule of thumb, the expansion anchor industry has established a minimum standard of ten (10) anchor diameters for spacing between anchors and five (5) anchor diameters from any unsupported edge. When vibration or sudden impact are part of the load conditions, spacing between anchors should be increased.

* Pull-out data based on 3/4" embedment
** Values shown are average ultimate values and are offered only as a guide and are not guaranteed. A safety factor of 4:1 or 25% is generally accepted as a safe working load. Reference should be made to applicable codes for the specific working ratio. All values are based on close-tolerance holes drilled with carbide tipped drill bits. Designated holding power depends on the quality of the masonry material, depth of embedment, and proper hole size.
