FASTENER FUNCTIONING Prior to learning the safe operating procedures for this tool it is importan Ballistic Point Drive Pin 300 Head Drive Pin 4 20 Threaded Stud to understand how a powder actuated fastener works A powder actuated fastener is considered to be a direct drive or forced entry type of fastener because it is driven directly into the base material The driving action causes tremendous forces to be applied to the fastener Powers powder actuated fasteners are specially designed and manufactured using an austempering process to withstand the forces imposed during the driving operation Only fasteners manufactured or supplied by Powers Fasteners should be used in this tool P1000 wa CAT NO 52013 7 0 FUNCTIONING IN CONCRETE he performance of a powder actuated fastener when installed into concrete or masonry base materials is based on the following factors 1 Strength of the base material 2 Hardness and concentration of the aggregate 3 Shank diameter of the fastener 4 Depth of embedment into the base material 5 Fastener spacing and edge distance n addition to these factors installation tool accessories such as a stop spall which reduces the tendency of spall during the driving action can increase the performance of the fastener When a powder actuated fastener is driven into concrete it displaces the volume ener shank As this occurs the concrete directly surrounding the fastener is compressed and

12. ONING IN STEEL The load performance of a powder actuated fastener when installed into steel base materials is based on the following factors 1 Thickness of the steel 2 Tensile strength of the steel 3 Shank diameter of the fastener 4 Depth of point penetration through the steel 5 Fastener spacing and edge distance When a powder actuated fastener is driven into steel it displaces the steel laterally 360 around the shank of the fastener Since steel is an elastic material it presses back against the shank of the fastener to hold it in place As the diameter of the fastener shank is increased the load capacity obtained will generally increase provided the steel thickness is sufficient to accept the fastener To further increase fastener performance in steel some fasteners have a knurled shank which allows the steel to form a key lock into the grooves to provide higher capacities than those obtained with a smooth shank For optimum performance the fastener point should completely penetrate the steel Normally a minimum of 1 4 is allowed for the point length An increase in performance can be expected until the fastener no be developed at an angle against longer completely penetrates he fas through the steel At this point the elastic properties of the s eel cause a compression force to ener point which reduces load capacity In thicker steel base materials adequate load capaci ties may be obtained for applications in
