2¼" is our most popular size with IAPMO Approval for Subfloor
and Shear Walls of all kinds.
We also have 2½" and 3" if you really want
overkill.
We get
asked if the installer can skip the glue if
they use Ballistic NailScrews®; the
answer in NO—please don't skip the glue.
The good news is the glue will not dry faster
than you can drive the Ballistic NailScrews®. J
2¼" x .113 Pull-out Resistance into Southern Yellow Pine
averaged 525 lbs per BNS
Subfloor/Shear Wall Example: Installing a 4' x 8' sheet of OSB on 16" centered joist or studs should take 30-32 Ballistic NailScrews® per sheet to meet code in most USA locations.
