Home built 2010 Volusia County Florida, As i was doing my inspection, I was inspection the attic garage area first, I was looking for miss decking nails what i found was a spiral type nail, In the garage attic & 2nd floor attic, I have inspected home built 2005 to 2007 that had # 6 spiral nails, Do they make a # 8 spiral nail, Does it meet Florida Building Codes or Construction standards
My next question, As far as i know, Since 2009 8d shank nails are to be used for New Construction & Re roof. If not 2009 what year did it start.
Yes, they make 8d spiral shank and still use them on new construction. The 2005 nails were also 8d, just a bit shorter than 2.5". This has been code since 1994. Only re-roof deck nailing is required to use 8d ring-shank nails, which started 10/01/2007.
I have another question when doing new home built 2009, 2015-The requirement for all of Florida use # 8d shank nails 2 1/2 inches-Thank you for the feed back and what year did it start.
