Nails MILWAUKEE 15° Ring-Shank 3.05 x 38 mm G-1440 for M18 FRCN45

MILWAUKEE 15° Ring-Shank nails, size 3.05 x 38 mm (model G-1440), are collated for 15° nailers and intended for use with the M18 FRCN45 framing nailer. These nails feature a ring-shank profile that increases withdrawal resistance in timber and engineered wood, making them suitable for construction applications that require improved holding power. The 3.05 mm diameter and 38 mm length provide a balance of shear strength and penetration for common framing, sheathing and structural fastening tasks.

Advantages

The ring-shank design delivers greater holding force compared with smooth-shank nails, reducing the risk of fastener pull-out in soft and treated woods. Collation at 15° ensures compatibility with 15° magazine framing nailers, facilitating reliable feeding and fewer jams. The 3.05 x 38 mm dimensions offer effective penetration into studs, joists and sheathing while maintaining structural integrity. These nails are manufactured to consistent size and collating standards for predictable performance during high-volume use.

Suitable for

• Framing timber and wall studs
• Installing sheathing and subfloor panels
• Structural fastening where enhanced withdrawal resistance is required
• Construction work using M18 FRCN45 or other 15° framing nailers

Key specifications

• Shank type: ring-shank for improved holding power
• Diameter: 3.05 mm
• Length: 38 mm
• Collation angle: 15° compatible
• Intended use: framing, sheathing, structural fastening

How to use

Load the collated strip of 15° nails into the M18 FRCN45 or another compatible 15° framing nailer following the tool manufacturer's loading instructions. Position the nailer tip firmly against the workpiece at the intended fastening location and operate the trigger according to the tool's single-fire or sequential mode settings. Ensure adequate contact with the substrate to allow full penetration of the 38 mm nail shank. Maintain correct tool maintenance and use appropriate personal protective equipment during operation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, select ring-shank nails for applications where withdrawal resistance is critical, such as deck framing or attaching sheathing to studs. Confirm the nail length and diameter suit the material thickness, and test a small area when working with treated or engineered lumber to verify holding performance and penetration.
