framing nails

[john deleu]

Hi,

What length of nails is recommended to frame 2" CLS.
I have a Senco Framepro who can do 3.5" nails and i am afraid that they aren"t long enough.

Thanks!
John

Whats CLS?

[john deleu]

Canadian lumber standard
pine and all

stock like 38x140 mm

For typical framing applications, your fine.
If by 2" you mean dimensional lumber, ie 1 1/2".

To me (mm=&^%$#@??):D

here nominal framing lumber is 1 1/2" wich is real clos eto your 38mm. Truthfully almost all house framing is done with 10D nails which are 3"
The only time I use 3 1/2" nails is when deck undercarriage framing, and then I use spiral nails.
