Framing Nails for a Bostitch F33PT

What size framing nails do I need for 35x90mm pine framing for use with a for a Bostitch F33PT framing gun?
Should they be galvanised?
Ring Shank?

cheers

Me thinks you'd need 70 /75 mm nail length x 2.8 min shank. I am not familiar with your type of nailer - best to go to the retailer and see what nails are available - also find out about nails for bracing ply.

Hi there

The Bostich have their own angle ... son you can't use the more poular Senco Nails. Bunnings or a timber supply place have them in general. Shouldn't need Gal unless you are doing something in especially harsh conditions.

I took the advance of asking my local retailer, he sold me a box of 75mm 28 degree paper collated nails. It turns out my framer needs 33 degree nails. I even told the guy the model number of the nailer, look like I need to lump the nails back to glenfords.

I have found out that the Bostitch framer I have takes 33 degree nails, in short it is designed for Senco Nails.
