When 1 inch coil roofing nails are the right call
The shortest length most guns will fire
1 inch is the shortest length you will see in standard 15 degree coil collation. It is a specialty size, not a daily driver. Use it when you have to and not when 1-1/4 inch will work.
The two real use cases are thin decking (3/8 inch plywood, rare on residential) and cap sheet or modified bitumen membrane work where you do not want the nail point coming through the underside.
Why most jobs do not call for 1 inch
Standard asphalt shingle work over 1/2 or 5/8 inch decking wants 1-1/4 inch minimum to hit the 3/4 inch penetration spec. Drop to 1 inch and you fall short of every shingle manufacturer install requirement.
If you are not absolutely sure you need 1 inch, you probably do not. The default for residential roofing is 1-1/4 inch and it is the default for good reason.
Where 1 inch coil roofing nails belong on the truck
Keep a single coil or two on hand for the rare thin deck job, garage repair, shed roof over 3/8 inch sheathing, or built up roofing top sheet work. For everyday production work, stock 1-1/4 inch instead.

Frequently asked questions
- Why would I use 1 inch coil nails instead of 1-1/4?
- Three cases: 3/8" plywood sheathing where a longer nail would point through, modified bitumen and cap sheet membrane work where you don't want point penetration, and small repair work on thin decking. For standard asphalt shingles on 1/2" or 5/8" deck, use 1-1/4".
- Will 1 inch nails meet shingle manufacturer specs?
- Generally no. GAF, CertainTeed, Owens Corning, and Atlas all spec a minimum 3/4" penetration into the deck or full thickness through the deck. On 1/2" deck with a 5/16" shingle, a 1" nail only gives ~3/8" penetration into the framing — short of the spec.
- Will my coil nailer fire 1 inch nails?
- Most modern coil roofing nailers (Bostitch RN46, MAX CN445R3, Metabo HPT NV45AB2, DeWalt DCN45RN) accept 7/8" minimum, so 1" works fine. Always verify your specific gun's minimum length spec.
- Do these come in stainless?
- Yes, but the inventory is thinner than 1-1/4" or 1-3/4". For cedar shake or coastal repair on thin sheathing, 304 stainless 1" coil nails are the right pick — just plan to special-order if your supply house doesn't stock them.
