FASTENING APPLICATIONS

Your Ramset tool can be used for a wide range 
of fastening needs in a variety of base materials.  
Reading and following these  important fastening  
guidelines will help you get the best results 
from your tool, fasteners, and powder loads, 
as well as help you perform these fastening 
operations safely and effectively.

Powder actuated fastenings are permanent 
fastening so attempting to remove a fastener 
from concrete or steel may result in serious 
injury.

Fastening to Concrete

When fastening into concrete, always  
maintain a minimum spacing of 3” between 
fastenings and 3” from any free edge. 
Concrete thickness should be at least three 
times the intended penetration depth into 
the concrete. The primary exception to the 
3” edge distance can occur in a sill plate 
application where, by necessity, the edge 
distance is reduced.

Driving fasteners too close to an edge or too 
close to each other can cause the concrete 
edge to fail or fasteners to fly free.

Fastening to Concrete Block  
or to Masonry Walls

While this application is not recommended, 
when used, it is necessary to take care to 
observe a 3” edge distance to avoid cracking 
the block and over penetration of the fastener 
to avoid loss of holding value. Fastening 
may be made into the horizontal joint but 
not into the vertical joint.

Fastening to Steel

Your Ramset tool can be used for fastening 
on the flat surfaces of structural steel. When 
fastening into steel, always maintain a mini-
mum spacing of 1-1/2” between fastenings 
and 1/2” from any edge.
