Safety Precautions 6. Power fasteners are a permanently installed fixture. An act of demolition is required for their removal. Appropriate safety precautions must be taken. Head Shank Plastic Flute ® 7. NEVER use common nails or other materials as fasteners. Remington Power Fasteners are manufactured from special steel and heat treated to produce a very hard, yet ductile, fastener. 8. NEVER pry a power load out of the strip. Prying can discharge the load causing serious injury (See Troublesho

Why A Power Fastener Holds WHY A POWER FASTENER HOLDS IN CONCRETE The compression bond of the concrete to the power fastener accounts for the majority of the holding power. The power fastener displaces the concrete which tries to return to its original form causing a squeezing effect. Maximum holding power is achieved when the depth of penetration produces a bond on the power fastener equal to the strength of the concrete. As a general rule, 1 penetration should be approximately 1" to 1 /4

Selecting Power Fasteners and Power Loads FASTENING INTO 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 power fastener penetration. In most 1 4 cases, penetration should be approximately 1" to 1 / " into the base concrete material. Wood or Non-Metals FASTENING INTO STEEL To Concrete The pr
