Key Features

304 Stainless Build

Type 304 stainless steel gives this roofing nail the corrosion resistance you want when the fastener is going to live outdoors full time. It is a smart fit for roofing work where plain steel is not the right long-term choice.

Strong Hold in Roof Decks

The annular-ring shank is built to resist pullout, which matters when fastening into OSB or plywood roof decks. That added grip helps keep roofing material attached when the job is exposed to weather and movement over time.

Simpson Strong-Tie 15-Degree Wire Coil, Full Round Head, Ring-Shank Roofing Nail

This collated roofing nail is made for fast loading and fast driving in compatible 15 degree roofing nailers. The full round head and diamond point help it feed cleanly and start easier during repetitive roofing work.

Overview

The Simpson Strong-Tie 15-Degree Wire Coil, Full Round Head, Ring-Shank Roofing Nail, model S11A125RNBP, is a 1-1/4 in. collated roofing fastener for pneumatic roofing nailers. This is a collated roofing nail designed for asphalt and synthetic slate roofing. If you are fastening roofing material to OSB or plywood roof decks and want stainless corrosion resistance with the holding power of a ring shank, this is the nail you are looking for.

This specific version uses Type 304 stainless steel, an 11 gauge shank, a 3/8 in. full round head, and a diamond point. On the job, that combination matters for two reasons. First, the large head gives solid bearing on roofing material. Second, the diamond point helps the nail start cleaner so you can keep moving instead of fighting misdrives. The annular-ring shank is the bigger story here, because it is designed to increase withdrawal resistance and provide a more secure attachment in common roof deck materials.

Where this fastener earns its keep is repetitive roofing work. A wire coil format is built around speed, making it a practical choice for crews running pneumatic roofing nailers on production installs, repairs, and punch work. Instead of hand-driving loose nails, you get a collated format that supports faster cycling and more consistent feeding in compatible tools. That saves time when you are laying courses and want to keep the gun loaded with the right fastener style.

Simpson Strong-Tie positions this nail for asphalt and synthetic slate roofing, and also lists the application as roofing, tile and slate. That makes it relevant for roofers and contractors who need a stainless fastener option for exposed weather conditions and demanding exterior installs. The ring-shank profile is especially useful when holding strength matters more than easy removal. In plain terms, this nail is meant to stay put.

The material choice is worth calling out. Type 304 stainless steel gives you strong corrosion resistance for roofing environments without stepping up to the Type 316 version in the same family. If you are working standard exterior roofing conditions and want stainless performance, this S11A125RNBP version hits the middle ground well. If your job is right on the coast, Simpson also offers Type 316 options in the broader product line for even higher corrosion resistance.

From a tool-fit standpoint, this is a 15-degree wire coil roofing nail. Supplementary product data states it is compatible with most 15 degree power roofing nailers and with many major manufacturers’ pneumatic tools, while Simpson Strong-Tie directs users to its compatibility matrix or fastener finder for exact model confirmation. That is the right way to think about it: the angle and collated format are correct for the category, but it is still smart to verify your nailer model before ordering a large quantity.

This product is sold here as a 720-pack, which makes sense for smaller-volume jobs, repairs, or stocking the truck without jumping straight to a bulk carton. For contractors, repair techs, and serious DIY users handling roofing maintenance, shed roofs, additions, or partial reroofs, that pack size is easier to manage. If you need a stainless roofing nail that feeds from a coil, grips roof decking well, and is sized at 1-1/4 in. for roofing applications, this one is a practical, no-nonsense pick.

Built for Fast Roofing Work

This is the kind of fastener made for real roofing pace, not bench work. In a compatible pneumatic roofing nailer, the wire coil format helps keep production moving on asphalt roofing and synthetic slate installs.

• 15-degree wire coil format for roofing nailer use
• Designed for asphalt and synthetic slate roofing applications
• Suitable for roofing, tile, and slate work listed by the manufacturer

Holding Power Where It Counts

The shape of the nail matters just as much as the material. The ring-shank body is there to improve grip in the deck, while the diamond point helps the nail start easier as you work through repetitive fastening.

• Annular-ring shank increases withdrawal resistance
• Designed to provide secure attachment to OSB or plywood roof decks
• Diamond point helps with easier driving

Stainless Steel for Exterior Exposure

For roofing, stainless is not a cosmetic upgrade. It is about using a fastener that is better suited to outdoor exposure, especially when the roof system needs long-term corrosion resistance.

• Type 304 stainless steel construction
