Barbarossa Positive Placement Nails | Metal Connector Twist Nails Electro Galvanised 35mm

Barbarossa 35mm Metal Connector Twist Nails Electro Galvanised are premium positive placement nails (PPN) engineered for professional builders, carpenters, and structural timber framers who demand speed, strength, and reliability. Measuring 35mm length x 3.4mm diameter, these high-performance collated nails are the perfect choice for securing metal connector plates, joist hangers, truss clips, and other structural hardware in timber construction projects.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

•  Dimensions: 35mm length × 3.4mm shank diameter – ideal length for secure fixing through standard metal connectors into solid timber without excessive penetration.

•  Finish: Electro Galvanised (Class 2, 12µm zinc coating) – delivers excellent corrosion resistance for interior applications and protected exterior use (Service Class 1 & 2 environments).

•  Head Design: Full round flat head – provides superior holding power, clean seating in pre-punched holes of metal connectors, and reduces the risk of pull-through.

•  Shank: Square twist shank – maximises grip and pull-out resistance in timber, offering significantly higher withdrawal strength compared to smooth shank nails.

•  Point: Sharp diamond point – ensures fast, accurate driving with minimal wood splitting, even in dense hardwoods.

•  Collation: Paper collated, 25 nails per strip – compatible with leading 34-degree positive placement nailers including Paslode PPNXi, PPN35Ci, and similar models.

•  Material: High-quality hardened steel for durability and consistent performance under high shear and withdrawal loads.

Why Choose Barbarossa Positive Placement Nails?

These 35mm metal connector twist nails are specifically designed for the demands of modern timber frame construction. The unique square twist shank creates a mechanical lock within the wood fibres, delivering exceptional holding power that helps meet structural engineering requirements for joist hangers, hurricane ties, truss plates, and other connectors.

Whether you’re building new homes, extending properties, or carrying out renovations, these nails help ensure your connections are strong, code-compliant, and built to last. The electro galvanised finish protects against rust in normal service conditions, making them suitable for both indoor framing and covered outdoor structures.
