Steel Deck Fastening Systems
1.1 Steel Deck Fastener Design and Selection
1.1.3.2 Tool Selection
Bar joist and light structural steel powder-actuated frame tools (Reference Section 1.2)
DX 860-HSN The DX 860-HSN stand up decking tool is a fully automatic powder-
actuated tool designed for attaching steel deck to steel base materials.
With a high fastening rate and 40-fastener magazine, the DX 860-
HSN can significantly help reduce the time it takes to attach deck.
Fastenings can be made on very thin support structures without the
need for weld washers. Suitable for base steels with a thickness of
1/8" to 3/8". Fastens X-HSN 24 collated fasteners.
DX 460-SM The DX 460-SM decking tool is a medium duty powder-actuated
tool with adjustable power regulation used for attaching steel deck
to steel base materials. This system is best suited for deck with a
flute width of 1/2" or greater and for base steels with a thickness of
3/16" to 3/8". Fastens X-HSN 24 collated fasteners.
Structural steel powder-actuated frame tools (Reference Section 1.3)
DX 860-ENP-L
The DX 860-ENP-L is a fully automatic powder-actuated tool
designed for attaching steel deck to structural steel beams. The
tool has capacity of 1 strip of 40 cartridges and 4 flexible strips of
10 each X-ENP-19 fasteners in an MXR collated configuration.
The DX 860-ENP-L is ergonomically designed to work in an upright
position, and can be loaded without the operator bending over. The
system is suitable for deck with a flute width of 3/4" or greater and
base steels with a thickness of 1/4" or greater.
DX 76
The DX 76 decking system is a heavy duty fastening system
consisting of semi-automatic, low-velocity powder-actuated tool,
fasteners and cartridges for attaching steel deck to steel base
materials. Special features include cartridge power regulation which
allows for high productivity. This system is suitable for deck with
a flute width of 3/4” or greater and base steels with a thickness of
1/4” or greater. Use with X-ENP-19 fasteners in single, MX or MXR
collated configurations.
Gauge purlin and light bar joist screw frame tool and deck-to-deck sidelap fastening tool
(Reference Section 1.4 or 1.5)
SDT 5
The SDT 5 stand up decking tool is a steel deck sidelap and frame
fastening tool. Combined with the DX 860-HSN or DX 860-ENP-L,
these tools deliver a high speed, high productivity system for
mechanical attachment of steel deck. The SDT 5 can consistently
drive up to 50 S-MD 12-24x1-5/8 M HWH5 frame fasteners or
SLC sidelap connectors before reloading. Its comfortable, durable
design features an 18 position torque clutch to provide consistent
fastening quality. In a competitive market, the SDT 5 represents
a major gain in productivity essential to staying on time and on
budget.
