Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PASLODE from 3G Electric.
What Paslode collated siding nails does 3G Electric supply?
3G Electric supplies Paslode collated siding nails in multiple configurations. Examples include the 650954, a 1 7/8 in flat spiral nail with diamond point, galvanized, in a 9,000-pack, and a full offset round head ring shank nail with 0.099 in shank diameter and 2 1/4 in overall length with conical point. These are intended for pneumatic nailers in exterior wood applications such as siding installation. Buyers should match the nail geometry and collation to the specific tool magazine and substrate. 3G Electric lists part numbers, head type, shank type, point type, length, and pack quantity to support cross-referencing.
What lengths and pack sizes are available for Paslode metal connector nails?
Paslode metal connector nails are available in 1 1/2 in and 2 1/2 in overall lengths. Pack quantities vary by part number: 1 1/2 in nails are supplied in 1,000-pack (650645), 3,000-pack (650026), and 4,000-pack (650197); 2 1/2 in nails are supplied in 2,000-pack (650198 and 650028) and 2,500-pack (650106). All are flat, smooth shank, diamond point, and intended for fastening metal connectors, joist hangers, and framing hardware in wood construction. The correct pack size depends on strip collation and tool magazine capacity.
How do I identify the correct Paslode fastener for my nailer?
Match the fastener to the tool by collation type, strip angle, and nail length range specified for the magazine. Paslode nailers are designed for specific collation formats, so head type, shank diameter, and point type must also be compatible. For example, a siding nailer may require full offset round head ring shank nails, while a metal connector nailer may require flat smooth shank nails with diamond points. 3G Electric provides manufacturer part numbers and specifications such as overall length, shank diameter, head type, and point type to help buyers verify compatibility before ordering.
Are Paslode fasteners suitable for exterior applications?
Some Paslode fasteners are galvanized for corrosion resistance, making them suitable for exterior wood applications such as siding. The 650954 collated siding nail is galvanized and has a flat spiral shank with diamond point. Other Paslode fasteners, such as the metal connector nails listed, have a plain finish and are intended for fastening metal connectors and framing hardware in wood construction. The appropriate finish depends on exposure conditions and the specific building code or specification governing the project. Buyers should confirm coating requirements against the application.
Does 3G Electric stock Paslode nailers and staplers as well as fasteners?
3G Electric's Paslode catalog includes 83 SKUs spanning nailers, staplers, and fasteners. The fastener range includes collated siding nails and collated metal connector nails in various lengths, head types, shank types, point types, and pack quantities. Tool availability varies by part number and demand. Buyers can inquire with specific manufacturer part numbers for current sourcing. 3G Electric interprets demand and sources genuine Paslode products across its supplier network, with logistics support for international delivery.
What point types are used on Paslode collated nails?
Paslode collated nails in the 3G Electric catalog use diamond or conical points. Diamond points are specified on the 650954 siding nail, the 650106, 650645, 650198, 650026, 650197, and 650028 metal connector nails. A conical point is specified on the full offset round head ring shank siding nail. Point type affects penetration and holding in different wood substrates. Buyers should match point type to the material and the tool's drive characteristics. 3G Electric lists point type as a specification attribute for each fastener part number.
