Anybody know the exact code for nails in a Seismic Zone 4 with a Wind Zone B. Colored heads, FRH, diam.. etc.. Were having a debate over the building code and what kind of nails we have for sale. My buddy with the local building department is out of town for the week and I’m trying to convince the boss that 3″ clipped head .120 nails are not code. I would like to walk in Monday with an answer.
Thanks in advance
Sincerely;
The Tool Guy

" the exact code " depends on the EXACT CODE.
What code are you using: local, state, UBC, IRC, SBC, and of what date?
And if a nation model code what local admendments?
Bill, I found the info I needed. BTW, the state is California, but not San Francsicso, Oakland or Berkely which seem to have their own adopted versions that are upscaled to the Seismic conditions in their respective areas.
