Joist Hanger Nails

Joist hanger nails are specialized fasteners used in wood-framed construction to attach connectors, such as joist hangers and hurricane ties, to wood members, including joists, rafters, and trusses. Stainless steel ring shank connector nails are required to ensure full connector loads. Type 316 stainless nails must be used when installing stainless steel hangers and other connectors.

Joist hanger nails, or connector nails, are essential for creating secure, code-compliant framing connections. They are sometimes referred to as TECO nails after the original manufacturer, the Timber Engineering Company. Although they have not sold nails since the late 80s, the name TECO is still used by contractors to this day.

High Quality Joist Hanger Nails

Joist connector nails are built to handle heavy loads. When used according to Simpson's specifications, they ensure code compliance and provide a secure hold. The shorter length prevents wood splitting and ensures the nail seats fully in the hanger hole.

They pair with Simpson's range of hangers and connectors. See individual hanger pages for fastener specification charts.

These nails are also shorter and heavier gauge than conventional nails. Ring shank connector nails, in particular, are designed to provide optimum load-bearing potential. 

Collated nails are available for use in your nail gun for faster installs.

Connector Nails for Weather Resistance and Coastal Use

We offer a complete range of stainless steel collated joist hanger nails. They help keep your structure strong, even in wet or coastal areas.

We carry 316SS connector nails to pair with our selection of stainless hangers and connectors. 316 stainless steel is designed for the most high-moisture or saltwater environments to prevent corrosion over time.

Hand drive joist hanger nails are available for purchase by the pound. Great for manual install or for use with a palm nailer.
