Miami-Dade approved, NOA cert L 23-0505.01, meets ASTM A153 class D standard.
Tin caps add extra protection and stability when used with roofing nails, they extend the nails surface area to hold shingles and underlayment in place.
Hot dipped galvanized for rust reduction and extended life, contractor’s presentation of 50 lbs.
These 100% galvanized Tin Caps, with a 1-5/8” zinc-plated design, offer excellent holding power and corrosion resistance. Miami Dade approved and packaged in contractor-grade 50lb boxes, they ensure easy inventory control with GS1 barcodes, providing extra protection and stability for roofing projects.
Roofing tin caps are a fundamental component for the proper installation of roofing systems. These metallic elements are utilized in conjunction with fastening nails to ensure the adhesion and stability of shingles and underlayment. Their primary function lies in increasing the bearing surface of the nail, distributing the load uniformly across the roofing material.
The offered model consists of 1-5/8″ tin caps manufactured through a hot-dipped galvanization process, in compliance with ASTM A153 Class D standards. This surface treatment provides high resistance to corrosion, a critical factor in ensuring the durability of the fastening system, particularly in environments with high exposure to humidity or salinity, such as the Miami-Dade region.
Miami-Dade NOA certification L 23-0505.01 validates the product’s adherence to rigorous quality standards and resistance to demanding environmental conditions. This approval underscores the suitability of the product for construction projects requiring specific certifications to ensure the structural integrity of the roof.
The utilization of tin caps contributes to enhanced protection of the roofing system by minimizing the risk of material detachment due to wind action. The extended surface area of the cap distributes wind force more effectively than the nail head alone.
Presented in 50 lb packaging, designed for ease of handling and inventory management on-site through GS1 barcodes, these hot-dipped galvanized tin caps offer an efficient and reliable solution for roofing construction professionals.
Roofing tin caps are metallic discs, in our case 1-5/8″ in diameter and manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel, designed for use with roofing nails. Their primary function is to increase the bearing surface of the nail, providing greater stability and resistance for shingles and underlayment.
By extending the contact surface of the nail, tin caps distribute pressure more evenly across the roofing material. This reduces the risk of the nail penetrating too deeply, tearing the material, or loosening over time due to wind action or other forces. They provide a more secure and durable fastening.
Hot-dipped galvanizing is a process in which steel is immersed in molten zinc to create a protective layer that is resistant to corrosion. This process ensures that the tin caps have greater durability and an extended lifespan, even in humid or high-salinity environments like the Miami-Dade region.
The Miami-Dade Approved certification (NOA cert L 23-0505.01) verifies that these tin caps have passed rigorous testing and meet the quality and resistance standards required for construction materials in Miami-Dade County, known for its strict regulations due to severe weather conditions, including hurricanes.
These 1-5/8″ tin caps are compatible with a wide variety of asphalt shingles and other common roofing materials. However, it is always recommended to verify the specifications of the shingle manufacturer and local regulations to ensure compatibility and proper use of fastening elements.
These tin caps have a diameter of 1-5/8″ (one and five-eighths inches).
The 50 lb packaging is designed with the convenience and efficiency of roofing contractors in mind. This presentation facilitates handling, transportation, and inventory control at construction sites. Additionally, the use of GS1 barcodes on the boxes further simplifies inventory management.
Yes, by increasing the bearing surface of the nail, tin caps contribute to greater resistance against wind uplift of shingles and underlayment. This is especially important in areas prone to strong winds.
