BASE MATERIAL EVALUATION
BASE MATERIAL SUITABILITY & THE CENTER PUNCH TEST
Before loading the tool or fastening into any base material, check the suitability and thickness of the base material. To check base material suitability, give it the center punch test.
CENTER PUNCH TEST
Using the fastener as a punch, with a hammer, strike a solid blow to the actual material you wish to fasten into, then look for these results:
1. If the point of the fastener is blunted, the material is too hard and is unsuitable. If the material is too hard, the fastener can ricochet, and possibly escape, striking you or bystanders and cause serious injury or death.
2. If the material cracks or shatters, it is too brittle and is unsuitable. This can result in particles striking the operator or bystanders, or the fastener could pass completely through the base material causing serious injury or death.
3. If the fastener sinks into the material with the hammer blow, the material is too soft and is unsuitable. If the material is too soft, the fastener can pass completely through and strike someone on the other side causing serious injury or death.
4. If the fastener makes a small indentation in the base the base material is suitable for fastening into.
DO NOT USE GAS-ACTUATED TOOLS FOR FASTENING INTO THESE MATERIALS
1. Vertical mortar joints 6. Hardened or tool grade steel
2. Bricks 7. Cast iron
3. Hollow block or tile 8. Welded areas or torch cuts
4. Glazed tile 9. Spring steel
5. Glass 10. Natural rock
BASE MATERIAL THICKNESS AND CONDITION
Thickness of the base material is perhaps the most important consideration for good safe fastenings. In concrete, the thickness must be 3 times the shank penetration; in other words, for 1" of shank penetration, the concrete must be at least 3" thick. For fastening into steel, make sure the steel is at and without irregularity.

GUIDELINES FOR SAFE FASTENING
GUIDELINES FOR SAFE FASTENING
1. Never Hold the tool at an acute angle to the work surface. The tool must be perpendicular (90˚ angle) to the work surface. Make certain that NO debris is present on the surface.
2. Never set a fastener too close to another installed fastener as this can cause a ricochet.
3. Never fasten less than 3" from the edge of unsupported concrete or masonry, or less than recommended by the tool manufacturer.
4. Never fasten into rough, spalled, cracked or uneven concrete. Fasten at least 3" from the outer edge of a spalled area.
5. Never fasten into material which is too hard, such as hardened steel, welds, cast steel, marble, spring steel, natural rock, etc. This could cause the fastener to shatter and escape and result in serious injury or death.
6. Never fasten into material which is too brittle, such as glass, glazed brick, glazed tile, slate, etc. This could cause the material to shatter and result in serious injury or death.
7. Never fasten into material which is too soft, such as wood, plaster, drywall composition board, plywood, etc. This could cause the fastener to pass through and escape resulting in serious injury or death.
8. Never fasten through an existing hole in any material as the fastener could hit the edge of the hole and ricochet. (Consult with the clip, attachment, or assembly manufacturer for installation instructions regarding specic products that list power-driven fasteners as a suitable attachment method.)
9. Never place your hand or any part of your body over the front of tool.
10. Never service a GCN tool with the battery or fuel cell installed.
11. Never point the tool toward any person.

PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR PROPER FASTENING
When operating the GCN150/GCN-MEP, always keep the tool perpendicular to the work surface. Attempting to install fasteners other than at a 90˚ angle can result in pin ricochet and cause:
– Injury to the user – Injury to bystanders – Damage to the tool – Damage to the base material or attachment
FASTENING INTO CONCRETE AND MASONRY
Materials suitable for fastening into include:
– Poured concrete – Precast concrete – Pre-stressed concrete – Grout-lled concrete block – Grouted joints
Fasteners derive their holding power primarily from clamping of the concrete around the fastener. Factors that inuence a fastener driven into concrete include:
– Depth of penetration – Compressive strength of concrete – Fastener spacing and edge distance – Fastener shank diameter – Concrete aggregate
FASTENER EDGE DISTANCE
Concrete: No less than 3" to nearest free edge.
MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN FASTENINGS
No less than 3"
MINIMUM BASE MATERIAL THICKNESS
Concrete: No less than 3 times penetration depth of the fastener.

T-SAS-GCNM12 ©2012 Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc.
PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES FOR PROPER FASTENING
FISH-HOOKING
“Fish-hooking” is when the fastener curves when driven into concrete. This is caused by the fastener hitting large, hard, or excessive amounts of aggregate, rebar, or any hard object. Fish-hooking can reduce the holding power of the fastener, result in spalling, and may increase unsafe conditions due to escaping particles. Fish-hooking can be minimized by:
– Reducing shank penetration – Increasing shank diameter
– Fastening through a metal disc
FASTENING INTO STEEL
The most common type of steel base material is structural steel in the form of beam, angle iron, channel, tee, plate, and strip. The holding force of the fastener is a function of the gripping action of the steel base material around the fastener, and the fusion of the fastener to the base material.
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE HOLDING POWER OF FASTENERS IN STEEL ARE:
– Shank diameter: Larger shank diameters increase holding force – Thickness of steel base material: Thicker base material increases holding force – Fastener point penetration: Getting the point to pass through base material by
approximately
– Knurled fasteners: Knurling on the fastener provides interlocking of the shank
and the base material which increases the holding force
1
4" maximizes holding force
FASTENER EDGE DISTANCE:
No less than 1⁄2" to nearest free edge.
MINIMUM DISTANCE BETWEEN FASTENERS:
No less than 1".
MINIMUM BASE MATERIAL THICKNESS:
T-SAS-GCNM12 ©2012 Simpson Strong-Tie Company Inc.
No less than 22 ga. (0.0283"). Steel shall be at and free of debris. ONLY FASTEN
INTO A FLAT SURFACE OF STEEL BASE MATERIAL.
