PRECISION
MANUFACTURED
FOR REDUCED
DOWNTIME
PowerPoint Weld Pins cost less in the long run.
PowerPoint Weld Pins save time and money because they perform
consistently. Each point is precisely formed to provide optimum electrical
resistance and each cap and shank assembly is securely swaged so
that pins will feed without jamming, even in older welders. In addition,
PowerPoint Weld Pins may be shipped in plastic buckets to eliminate
shipping damage. The result is continuous production without the expense
of clearing track jams or refastening where other pins could fail.
How PowerPoint Weld Pins Work
PowerPoint Weld Pins are
manufactured in the USA
to international quality
standards.

Composition and Materials
The fastener head, shank and point are manufactured from a special carbon alloy steel. A steel retaining cap
is mechanically afxed to the driven end of the fastener.
Industry Standards
PowerPoint Weld Pins meet or exceed the latest SMACNA (Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors
National Association) standards, published in their 2005 HVAC DUCT CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS - METAL
AND FLEXIBLE, for low and high velocity ductwork. They are used by leading air-conditioning, sheet metal and
mechanical contractors for ductwork in commercial, residential and industrial buildings.
Product Features
Better Welds- forged diamond point design creates more electrical resistance for better welds.
Super Sharp Point- the point is the sharpest in the industry and cleanly pierces the toughest duct liner.
Better Plating- zinc and chromate dipped exceeds SMACNA corrosion resistance standards and gives a
more professional appearance.
Consistent Feeding- precise assembly of shanks and caps along with a smoother plating reduces feeding
problems in tracks of automatic equipment.
Technical Data
Retaining Cap- The beveled edge retaining cap is sufcient in size and design to depress the surface of
the insulation without tearing or cutting it. The cap does not protrude into the air stream to create noise or
interfere with air movement in the duct.
Temperature Range- PowerPoint Weld Pins function properly over normally accepted operating range of
temperatures of 32 °F to 250 °F and are not adversely affected at temperatures of 0 °F to 550 °F.
Vibrations- PowerPoint Weld Pins will not fatigue or be physically affected by vibrations normally found in
high velocity air handling systems.
Environmentally Safe- When used as intended, PowerPoint Weld Pins are non-toxic and safe as dened by
current Federal Standards.
Use standard personal protective equipment when applying fasteners at all times.
Insulated Caps Available - PowerPoint Weld Pins are available with dielectric coding on the underside of a
galvanized cap to prevent arcing with foil faced insulation.
Ordering Information
PowerPoint Weld Pins are
shipped in plastic buckets to
eliminate shipping damage.
PowerPoint Weld Pins work
with all brands of welders,
