Powder Actuated Tool Fastener Unit

Powder Actuated Tool Fastener Units are devices used in construction and industrial applications to drive fasteners into various materials such as concrete, steel, and masonry. These units are part of the supply class Cartridge And Propellant Actuated Devices And Components, which falls under the supply group Ammunition And Explosives.

Powder Actuated Tool Fastener Units typically consist of a power actuated tool, also known as a nail gun or a stud gun, and a fastener unit. The power actuated tool uses a controlled explosion created by a small explosive charge, usually contained in a cartridge, to propel the fastener into the material.

These fastener units are commonly used in construction projects for tasks such as attaching wood framing to concrete, securing metal plates to steel beams, or fastening electrical boxes to masonry walls. They provide a quick and efficient way to drive fasteners into hard materials, eliminating the need for pre-drilling or manual hammering.

It is important to note that the use of powder actuated tools and fastener units requires proper training and certification to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
