What Size Nails To Use For 3/4″ Plywood Subfloor?

When installing a 3/4″ plywood subfloor, using the correct nail size is crucial for stability and preventing floor movement. The recommended size is 8d or 10d nails, which are 2-1/2″ to 3″ long (64 mm to 76 mm). These nails offer the right depth to penetrate the plywood and firmly attach it to the floor joists, ensuring a secure and durable subfloor.
