Manufacturer Varies by Location Electro Galvanized Hand Drive Tile Roofing Nails for Clay Tile, 5 in. and 6 in. Sizes
These hand drive tile roofing nails are made for fastening clay and Spanish tile, offered in 5 in. and 6 in. lengths with 5 lb or 50 lb boxes. The electro galvanized flat-head, smooth-shank, diamond-point design drives through predrilled tile holes with an oversized head that stops at the hole. Sold per box.
Key Features:
- Made for clay tile: Designed for use with clay roofing tiles, including Spanish tile profiles.
- Oversized head: The oversized flat head prevents the nail from passing all the way through the tile's predrilled hole.
- Long sturdy shank: The long shank inserts through the predrilled hole in Spanish tile and reaches the deck below.
- Electro galvanized: Electro galvanized finish provides rust protection for exterior use.
- Smooth shank, diamond point: Smooth shank with diamond point for easier driving through the tile hole and into framing.
- Multiple sizes: Available in 5 in. and 6 in. lengths and 5 lb or 50 lb box sizes.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
For tile roof repairs and installers working overhead by hand, these long electro galvanized nails reach from the tile's predrilled hole through to the deck. Choose 5 in. where batten and deck buildup is thinner and 6 in. for heavier assemblies; pick the 5 lb box for repairs and the 50 lb box for full installs. Pre-check that the tile hole diameter matches the nail so the oversized head seats properly.
Tile roof work carries fall and breakage hazards; use proper roof anchors and walk only where the manufacturer allows on clay tile.
Order electro galvanized hand drive tile roofing nails in 5 in. or 6 in. lengths for your clay tile installation.
