MiTek TECO Nails Allow for “At a Glance”
Indication of Nails After They Have Been Installed
MiTek today announced that it has launched its new brand of
pneumatic, collated gun nails, called MiTek TECO.
The MiTek TECO collated nails have a color-coded and
head-stamping identification system that identifies the nails’
length and diameter, before and after installation.
This unique color-coding and head-stamping identification system
allows a building inspector, or installer, to determine that the
right nail has been used when installing MiTek products, without
having to remove a nail for inspection. Additionally, engineers who
need to ensure that the right nails are used as specified can
survey a jobsite and determine proper fastener selections by simply
looking at nail colors and head stamps.
The MiTek TECO identification system is simple:
Bright nails. MiTek TECO bright nails feature a
color to indicate the nail length and a numeric head stamp to
indicate the nail diameter. The color purple indicates a 1-1/2”
nail, and the color blue indicates a 2-1/2” nail. For head stamps,
a #3 indicates a 0.131 inch diameter, a #4 indicates a 0.148 inch
diameter, and a #6 indicates 0.162 inch diameter.
Hot-dip galvanized nails. MiTek TECO hot-dip
galvanized nails feature a letter stamp on the head to indicate
length (A = 1-1/2” and E = 2-1/2”) along with the numeric head
stamp to identify the nail diameter.
Available in “bright,” hot-dip galvanized, or stainless steel,
MiTek TECO nails can be installed with the majority of the popular
33-degree paper tape pneumatic nail guns (plus or minus 2 degrees).
MiTek TECO nails are manufactured in lengths of 1½ or 2½ inches, in
diameters of 0.131”, 0.148”, and 0.168”.
MiTek TECO nails are certified by ASTM F1667 (ASTM A153), and
have been evaluated by ICC-ESR 3768 - 2015 & 2012 IRC/IBC.
MiTek Builder Products division will sell and represent the
product nationally.
“MiTek TECO nails allow for easier, more accurate,
fastener selection for framers, so they always get the right nail
the first time,” said Brent Kreutzer, MiTek TECO brand
manager. “Now, with MiTek TECO, we offer a dramatic
improvement in the way that nails are identified in the field,
lessening the chance for error and making the inspection process
easier.”
