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 powderactuated 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 .
