BOSTITCH 21-DEGREE RING SHANK FRAMING NAILS - 2-3/8", 5000-PACK

Bostitch RH-S series plastic-collated stick framing nails, 21-degree paper-tape collation, designed for full-round-head pneumatic framing nailers. Ring shank profile, diamond-point tip for clean wood penetration without splitting nominal 2x material. Used through wall framing, sheathing, decking, and general rough carpentry where a stick-collated round-head nailer is on the jobsite.

  • Length: 2-3/8"
  • Collation: 21-degree plastic-collated stick
  • Shank: Ring (locks against pull-out under load cycling)
  • Head: Full round head (FRH) - meets code for structural connections
  • Point: Diamond - clean entry, reduced splitting
  • Box quantity: 5,000 nails (sold as one box)
  • Bostitch MPN RH-S8DR113EP

Compatible Nailers: Bostitch N79RH, N88RH, N90RHN, N95162; DeWalt D51845; DuoFast CN350B; Hitachi/Metabo HPT NR83A; Makita AN922; Porter-Cable FR350; and other 21-degree full-round-head framing nailers. Verify max leg length against the tool spec - some compact nailers cap below 3-1/2".

Application Tip (2-3/8"): 8d-equivalent length with a ring shank for high withdrawal resistance. Targets subfloor and underlayment fastening (5/8"-3/4" OSB or plywood to 2x joists), squeak-free deck-board attachment, light sheathing, and roof sheathing on 1/2" decking. The ring shank locks against pull-out under foot-traffic vibration and cyclic deflection - a smooth-shank 8d would back out over time in those joints.

Stick vs Coil Tip: 21-degree stick nailers feed faster on a long flat run but the magazine sticks out from the body and limits access in tight corners. For close-quarter framing inside stud bays or against blocking, a coil framing nailer feeds with a shorter magazine profile. Coil collation also packs more nails per reload (~300-350 vs 60-80 in a stick strip), but stick nails are typically cheaper per box.
