For other fastener types, refer to Table 22. It provides the withdrawal resistance for a number of different fastener types
(smooth-, ring- and screw-shank nails; wood screws and vinyl siding nails). Together with the

wind load tables

in the

2006 and 2009 International Residential Codes,

IRC Tables R301.2(2) and R301.2(3),

the attachment schedules for any

combination of siding type, continuous wood structural panel sheathing, design wind speed and exposure can be
determined. See

APA Technical Topic: Wood Structural Panels Used as Nailable Sheathing, Form TT-109

for more information

including wind load tables and a sample calculation.

(a) Withdrawal capacities are based on the duration of load factor of 1.6 for wind applications. Adjustments for wet service and temperature are

normally not required for attachment to the wood structural panel nailable sheathing.

(b) For ring-shank nails, the withdrawal capacities (W) are based on specific gravities (G) of 0.70 in accordance with

APA TT-039

and

W = 1380 G
