PrimeSource 1-1/2 in. Plastic Cap Nails, Box of 2,000
PrimeSource 1-1/2 in. plastic cap nails secure underlayments, housewrap and insulation board. Each box contains 2,000 nails with a plastic cap head that resists pull-through in soft sheathing. Pair them with synthetic underlayment and foam board installs on residential roofing jobs.
Key Features:
- Pull-through resistance: The plastic cap distributes holding force so fasteners do not tear through underlayment or foam board.
- 1-1/2 in. length: The 1.5 in. dimension provides penetration suitable for securing sheet materials to wood substrates.
- Bulk box: Supplied 2,000 pieces per box to cover full roof and wall jobs without mid-run restocking.
- Lightweight handling: Each box weighs about 15 lb, making it easy to stage on the roof or carry site to site.
- General-purpose fastening: Works for underlayments, housewrap and other light-duty fastening where a cap head is required.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Capped nails are the standard choice for securing synthetic underlayment and foam board because the cap head spreads the load and resists tear-out. Keep the nailing pattern straight rows at the spacing your membrane manufacturer calls for, and avoid overdriving so the cap stays flat against the sheet. A 2,000-count box is enough to stage a full roof without restocking mid-run.
Wear gloves and eye protection when hand-nailing; cap nails have sharp points and mis-struck fasteners can cause injury.
