| POWERPOINT
PINS FOR HARD CONCRETE & STEEL FASTENING |
 |
| 
DESCRIPTION
|
| | |
Use Ramset’s exclusive
PowerPoint pins for your advanced fastening applications. They provide
easier penetration into hard steel and concrete. That means reduced
pin failures and increased holding values to make your jobs more productive. |

ADVANTAGES
| CONSISTENT
PERFORMANCE, IN HARD STEEL AND HARD CONCRETE |
| | |
Standard powder actuated
pins fasten inconsistently in steel. Frequently the steel is just
too hard for conventional pins. Steel is also inconsistent because
hardness varies. According to the steel industry's accepted Rockwell
Hardness Scale (Rb), steel strength can vary from a relatively soft
54 Rb to an extremely hard 88 Rb or higher. Standard pins typically
begin to fail in the upper 70s Rb. Tests, however, have proven that
PowerPoint consistently performs, even as steel approaches 90 Rb! |

SELECTION
CHARTS
|
| Notice in the photographs
below how typical manufacturing processes can cause inconsistency
in a pin’s finish, increasing its likelihood of failure. And
see the difference with Ramset’s process! Which pin would you
want to use? |
| Ramset’s unique
manufacturing process results in uniform shape and finish for more
consistent performance. |
 |
| Typical cut-point
finish resulting from manufacturing process will increase pin failure |
 |
| Typical swage-ballistic
point finish results in potential failure of pin |

| RAMGUARD™ DRIVE
PINS FOR ACQ PRESSURE TREATED LUMBER! |
|
As many of you know, there have been changes
to the regulations affecting pressure treated lumber. The industry
standard CCA treated wood is no longer being produced for residential
use. Most new pressure treated wood is utilizing Alkaline Copper
Quaternary (ACQ) treatment. It has been confirmed that ACQ corrodes
steel 2 to 4 times faster than the old CCA treated lumber. This
means that our standard drive pins are not recommended for use in
ACQ treated lumber.
Ramset has developed a coating called Ramguard™
for use in all pressure treated wood including the new ACQ treated
wood. The Ramguard coating offers excellent corrosion
resistance that rivals hot dipped galvanized and stainless steel.
Washered versions of these pins utilize a Ramguard
coated pin and a washer with a G185 coating. This combination was
developed to withstand the increased corrosion rate that sometimes
occurs when using fasteners in the new treated lumber. |
