Application | Application 1: Minimum shank and head diameter of roofing nails used

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of an inadequate nail diameter
or head size, which could lead to inadequate capacity, rigidity or pull-through
resistance, which could lead to an inability to resist expected lateral, gravity
or wind-uplift loads. Where assemblies are required to
provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of compromised fire
resistance of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
