The Fasco/Beck PS813E clipped-head nails are designed for efficient, high-volume fastening — ideal for sheathing, subflooring, decking backer work, siding underlayment, blocking, light framing, and general carpentry tasks. Their clipped-head design and paper-tape collation allow nails to be packed tightly, reducing reloads and improving speed on the jobsite.
With a 2-3/8" length and .113" smooth shank, these nails offer dependable holding strength without excessive penetration — perfect when working with thinner lumber, subfloor underlayment, or sheathing. The diamond-point tip ensures smooth, clean penetration with minimal wood splitting, while the clipped head and 31° strip configuration make them compatible with a variety of paper-tape strip nailers optimized for efficient feed and consistent performance.
