Cap nail DeWALT DCN8903027 27mm 3mm Galvanized metal 1005 pcs

DeWALT DCN8903027 cap nails are 27 mm long, 3 mm in diameter and manufactured from galvanized metal for corrosion resistance. Supplied in a pack of 1005 pieces, these cap nails are designed to fasten materials to concrete and other masonry substrates when used with compatible powder-actuated or specialized fastening tools. The galvanized finish helps prolong service life in indoor and some exterior environments, while the cap design provides a wider holding surface for secure fixing.

Advantages

These galvanized cap nails offer consistent length and diameter for reliable penetration into concrete and masonry. The cap head distributes load over a larger surface area, reducing pull-through on softer materials. The corrosion-resistant coating improves durability compared with untreated fasteners. Supplied in a large quantity, the pack reduces the need for frequent reorders on medium to large jobs.

Suitable for

• Fastening wood battens or furring strips to concrete or masonry
• Installing insulation boards on masonry walls
• Attaching metal profiles or channels to concrete substrates
• General construction and renovation tasks requiring cap head concrete nails

How to use

Select a compatible powder-actuated tool or specified fastening system rated for use with 27 mm, 3 mm cap nails. Ensure the tool settings and charges are appropriate for the concrete density and the thickness of the material being fixed. Position the cap nail perpendicular to the substrate surface, hold the workpiece firmly, and activate the tool to drive the nail into the masonry. Verify each fixing for secure seating and repeat as required, following the tool manufacturer's operating instructions and local safety standards.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye and hearing protection when operating powder-actuated tools. Store the pack in a dry location to maintain the galvanized coating's effectiveness. For exterior or high-corrosion environments, confirm that the galvanized finish meets project requirements or consider stainless alternatives. Refer to the tool and site safety guidelines for maximum spacing, edge distances, and substrate preparation.
