The X-IE-GS and X-IE-GSP Insulation Fastening system consists of Gas- Actuated Fastener pre-mounted in a non-metallic insulation fastener assembly , and installed using the Hilti GX-IE Gas-Actuated tool . The resulting fastener assembly allows various insulation boards to be attached rapidly and securely to steel studs , providing more efficient and safer installation .
Product Features and benefits
• X-IE-GS is designed for insulation fastening to cold formed steel studs with sheathing backing and X-IE-GSP is designed for applications without sheathing backing
• Suitable for wide range of steel stud thicknesses from 18 gauge to 12 gauge
• Suitable for wide range of insulation materials
• Insulation thickness range from 1 " to 4 " ( through 8 " for mineral wool with sheathing backing )
• Designed to work with water proofing membranes and vapor permeable air barriers
• Solid fastener shank helps prevent water and moisture penetration in the insulation material
