APPLICATIONS OF FASTENERS
BP301 tool can be used for a wide range of
fastening needs in a variety of base
materials. Read and follow these important
instructions for fastening guidelines will
help you get the best results from your tool,
fasteners and powder loads and as well as
helping to do these operations safely and
effectively.
Powder actuated fastening are permanent
solutions to try to remove a bra concrete or
steel can result in serious injury.
FASTENING TO CONCRETE
For fastening in concrete, keep a minimum
distance of 3" between fastening and 3"of
any free edge. Concrete thickness should be
at least three times the expected depth of
penetration into the concrete. The primary
exception to
the 3”
edge distance can occur
in an application where lower sill, of
necessity, reduces the edge
.
Fastening wood to concrete
Penetration of thin gauge metal
Fasteners driven in concrete too close to an
edge can cause the concrete edge to fail or
fasteners to fly free or concrete can crack if
driven too close together
.
FASTENING TO CONCRETE BLOCKS
OR MASONARY WALLS
Although this application is not
recommended, when used, care must be
taken to observe a
3”
edge distance to
avoid cracking the block and superior
penetration of the fastener to avoid a loss
in the holding value. Fastening can be done
in horizontal joints, but not in the vertical
joints
.
