Steel Deck Fastening Systems
X-HSN 24 for Fastening Deck to Bar Joist 1.2
1.2.1 Product Description
The Hilti bar joist deck fastening system
consists of powder-actuated tools that
are primarily used with the X-HSN 24
fasteners, which are available in a
collated version.
For many bar joist decking projects, the
tool of choice is the DX 860-HSN tool.
This self-contained stand up decking
tool is powered by 0.27 caliber short
cartridges, which are loaded into the
tool in strips of 40. The cartridges drive
the X-HSN 24 fasteners into almost
any type of steel deck profile and base
steel thicknesses of 1/8" to 3/8". These
fasteners are available in collated strips
of 10. Four of these strips are loaded
into the DX 860-HSN tool, along with the
cartridge strip, and enable the operator
to fasten at a rate of up to 1,000 quality
fastenings per hour. Additionally, this
tool offers punch through resistance
in cases where the base material is
inadvertently missed.
