Measurement guide · schematic, not to scale. Refer to the listed dimensions and an approved order drawing.
Covering → fastener → substrate → exposure
An umbrella head and any cap or washer must be specified as an assembly. Confirm what is included, how it seats on the roofing material and which installation method the system requires.
- Identify the exact roof covering and substrate.
- Follow the roof-system manufacturer’s installation requirements.
- Specify the head or washer, required penetration and corrosion environment.
- Confirm local project requirements and product documentation.
Choose for your workpiece and equipment
01
Quote explicit metric dimensions
Provide shank diameter and length in millimetres. Use a confirmed drawing rather than relying on gauge or inch labels alone.
02
Define the sealing components
State whether washers are required, their material and dimensions, and how the roof system controls sealing. The metal head shape alone does not establish a watertight installation.
03
Check roof and support compatibility
Confirm whether the system calls for nails or screws and whether the support is timber or metal. Assess the proposed sample with the prescribed sheet and fixing detail.
DEFINE THE ORDER, NOT JUST THE FASTENER
Packing, samples and order documentation.
Quantity & packing unit
State your quantity in pieces, strips, reels, boxes or cartons. Confirm the conversion between inner packs and shipping cartons.
Samples & minimum order
Send the selected specification and trial quantity. Sample availability, minimum order and lead time will be checked for the requested configuration.
Labels & documentation
Discuss custom packing, private labels and required drawings or documents before order approval. Keep an agreed sample, label and specification reference for repeat orders.
Questions before you order
Does an umbrella head make the nail waterproof?
No. Weather sealing depends on the complete fixing assembly and the roof-system installation detail.
Can these replace the nails supplied with branded corrugated sheets?
Only with the roof-system manufacturer’s acceptance of the exact replacement. Appearance or a similar head diameter is insufficient.
Application limits to check
- Do not treat umbrella-head loose nails as shingle coil nails.
- Do not substitute for a proprietary roofing-system fastener or a specified metal-support screw.
