The new GCN-MEP gas-actuated concrete nailer is the ideal solution for attaching light-duty fixtures to concrete and metal deck for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) applications. Since the tool does not require electrical cords or pneumatic hoses, the gas-actuated GCN-MEP is completely portable, increasing productivity.

FUEL CELL

GFC34

The GFC34 fuel cell is designed to operate with the GCN150 and GCN-MEP Gas-Actuated Concrete Nailers and also works with many major brand gas concrete-nailer tools. The fuel cell provides 1,200 shots and can operate at temperatures between 20°–120°F (-6°–49°C). The fuel cells are offered in a 2-per-pack clamshell. Additionally, one fuel cell is included with each pack of 1,000 pins.

GCN-MEP Gas-Actuated Pins and Assemblies for
Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing (MEP) Applications

New, pre-assembled MEP fasteners are available for use with the GCN-MEP gas-actuated concrete nailer designed for high-volume applications such as affixing conduit clips, rod hangers, cable ties and drywall track. With their .300" heads, these versatile pins and assemblies can also be used with common powderactuated tools when fastening into harder substrates (structural steel or extra hard concrete) when required.

GDP Strip Pins (with GCN-MEPMAGKT and 1 fuel cell)

GDP concrete pins are designed to work with the GCN150 and GCN-MEP (with magazine attached) gas-actuated concrete nailer tools as well as with most major brand gas concrete-nailer tools. The 10-fastener patented strip is designed with break-away plastic. The pins are designed for use in A36, A572 and A992 steel, concrete and CMU block.

See load value information

The GDPS pins are designed to work in the GCN150 and GCN-MEPMAG gas-actuated nailer tools for installation into A36, A572 Grade 50 and A992 structural steel. The step-shank pin, with smaller-diameter tip, facilitates easier penetration into the steel, while the larger diameter upper shank provides more shear resistance and successful installation.

GDPSK gas pins are designed for attaching plywood and OSB to cold-formed steel studs. The spiral knurl provides a positive lock and resists back out. Installed with the GCN150 concrete nailer or GCN-MEP (with magazine) concrete nailers, the GDPSK-138 gas pin provided faster installation and set up times, which contributes to lower labor costs. The hardened pins quickly and cleanly pierce the cold-form steel and leave the pin head flush with the wood fixture. The 1 3/8" length pin can be used for ½"–¾" thick plywood, and 14–22 gauge steel.
