Abstract
A self-sealing fastener for securing a building component to a framing member, such as securing a sheathing layer over which is disposed a barrier layer to a framing member, includes a fastener with a shank and a head, and a rubberized coating surrounding at least a portion of the shank of the fastener. The rubberized coating is designed to peel back from the shank and accumulate at least around the shank and/or head upon insertion into the wall assembly, thereby sealing off an entry of the self-sealing fastener into the barrier layer and sheathing layer.
