3.2.8 X-PN 37 MX STRUCTURAL WOOD PANEL FASTENERS
3.2.8.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Hilti X-PN 37 G2 / G3 / B4 MX power-driven fasteners are a knurled shank fastener designed as an efficient solution for the attachment of structural wood panel materials such as plywood and OSB ( Oriented Strand Board ) to cold-formed steel ( CFS ) framing as part of shear wall assemblies and other applications such as parapet walls , siding , and roofing . These powerdriven fasteners are installed with a Hilti GX 2 or GX 3 Gas-Actuated or the BX 4 Battery-Actuated Direct Fastening Systems increasing reliability , accuracy and productivity for the installer . Hilti X-PN 37 MX fasteners have a shank diameter of 0.102 inch ( 2.60 mm ) and a total length of 1-1 / 2 inches ( 37 mm ). The X-PN 37 MX fasteners are collated in strips of 10 to increase productivity with the Hilti Gas- and Battery-Actuated DIrect Fastening systems , which holds up to 40 collated fasteners in the their magazines . The fastener shank has a unique twist knurling geometry that increases holding power and strength of wood to CFS connections .
Product features :
• 0.102 inch ( 2.60 mm ) shank diameter for optimal penetration through structural wood panels and into CFS base materials .
• Unique knurling geometry for improved reliability and load performance .
• One fastener length covers most common wood shear wall applications .
• Increased productivity using the latest Hilti Gas- and Battery- Actuated Tools
• Wide application range including 27-68 Mils ( 22-14 gauge ) CFS .
• IBC / IRC 2015 , 2018 , and 2021 seismic recognition for use with Type I shear walls in all Seismic Design Categories ( SDC ) A – F ( ESR-3059 ).
