Why a power Fastener Holds WHY a pOWEr F aStEnEr HOLDS In COnCrEtE The compression bond of the con- crete to the power fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power. The power fastener displaces the con- crete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect. Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of penetration pro- duces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete. 1 As a general rule, penetration should be approximately 1"

Selecting power Fasteners and power Loads FaStEnInG Int O COnCrEtE The proper power fastener length can be determined by adding the thickness of the material to be fastened and the amount of power fastener that will actually penetrate the concrete. The concrete must be three times as thick as the intended Wood or non-metals power fastener penetration. In most t o Concrete cases, penetration should be ap- 1 4 proximately 1" to 1 / " into the base concrete material. FaStEnInG Int O StEEL
