Applications of fasteners
BP307 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 on concrete
For fastening in concrete, keep a minimum
distance of 3"between fastening and 3"of any free
edge. Concrete thickness should beat at least three
times the expected depth of penetration into the
concrete. The primary exception to edge
distance3"can occur in an application where lower
sill, of necessity, reduces the edge
.
Fastening wood to concrete
Penetration of thin gauge metal
Concrete Fasteners driving too close to an edge or
too close together can cause the concrete edge to
fail or fasteners to fly free
.
Fastening to concrete block or masonry
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
.
Fastening to steel
BP307 tool can be used for fastening on the flat
surfaces of structural steel. For steel fastening,
always maintain a minimum of 1-1/2 "between the
fasteners and 1/2" from any edge.
