Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Larger 5 in. caps are often specified for insulation and thick underlayment where fastener spacing is wide. Follow the fastening pattern required by the membrane or board manufacturer and your local wind requirements. Store the 50 lb carton flat and dry to keep caps undamaged.
Cap nails have sharp points and edges; wear gloves and eye protection, and use proper lifting technique for the 50 lb carton.
