Durable Plastic Strip Framing Nails for Reliable Construction
Brief Introduction
Fasto 21-degree plastic strip nails are manufactured to meet ASTM F1667 standards, specifically designed for high-performance pneumatic framing tools. These fasteners feature a Full Round Head profile, which is required by many international building codes for superior pull-through resistance in structural timber applications. Our high-impact plastic collation ensures the strips remain intact during transport and stay flexible during extreme cold-weather installations.

Why Choose Fasto?
Fasto Industrial manages its own manufacturing facilities with over 20 years of export expertise in structural fasteners. Our production lines operate under IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 quality management systems, ensuring that every batch of framing nails provides consistent drive-ability and load-bearing performance. We offer full verification through CE and RoHS test reports, confirming that our steel grades and galvanization processes meet the requirements of professional contractors worldwide.
Our engineering focus remains on material durability. We utilize proprietary plastic resins for our collation strips to prevent brittle shattering in winter conditions, which effectively eliminates nailer jamming. For outdoor projects, our Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) coating provides the necessary thickness to resist the corrosive chemicals found in pressure-treated lumber, extending the service life of timber structures in high-humidity or coastal environments.
FAQ
1. Why is 21 degrees the standard angle for plastic strip nails?
The 21-degree collation is the industry standard for plastic-connected nails because it allows for the use of Full Round Heads. Unlike 30-34 degree paper-collated nails (which often use clipped heads), the 21-degree spacing provides the physical clearance needed for a complete circular head.
2. Is the Full Round Head mandatory for my project?
Many building codes, especially in high-wind or seismic zones (such as the US West Coast), require Full Round Head nails. They provide a larger surface area to prevent the nail head from pulling through the lumber under extreme structural stress.
3. When should I use Hot-Dipped Galvanized (HDG) nails?
HDG nails are required for any application involving pressure-treated wood or permanent outdoor exposure. The heavy zinc coating reacts with the wood's preservatives to provide long-term corrosion protection that standard electro-galvanized nails cannot offer.
4. Can I use these nails in a 28-degree or 34-degree nailer?
No. Framing nailers are angle-specific. A 21-degree plastic strip nail will only function correctly in a tool designed for a 21-degree magazine. Using the wrong angle will result in jamming or damage to the tool's firing pin.
