From what I can tell, 8 Penny nails are 2 1/2" long. Charts on the internet back this up.

But I was looking at the nailing guide for this hurricane tie on homedepot.com and it specifies two different 8d nail lengths.

A search on Home Depot does not come up with any 1.5" 8d nails. What's going on here?

Standard 8d nails are 2.5" long. Anything else is going to be some sort of special purpose nail such as these:

8d 1.5" nails
