The GCN150 gas-actuated concrete nailer is a portable fastening tool for attaching light-duty fixtures such as drywall track, furring strips, hat track and angle track to concrete, steel, CMU and metal deck. The GCN150 has a portable gas fuel supply that does not require electrical cords or hoses. The GCN150 sets up quickly and offers maximum productivity. With a 500 shot-per-hour capacity and a pin jam release door, the GCN150 makes fastening pins fast and easy. Additional attributes include 2-step pin loading into the magazine, light and well-balanced weight, a battery indicator light and a sure-grip rubber handle pad.

The GDP concrete pins are designed to work with the GCN150 Gas-Actuated Concrete Nailer as well as with most major brand gas concrete nailer tools. The patent-pending plastic collation of the 10-pin strip is a break-away design that minimizes the possibility of a jam. The GDP pins are designed for use in A36 and A572 steel, concrete and CMU block.

GDP pins are code listed under ICC-ES ESR-2811. This report covers the fastening of building components, such as cold-formed-steel framing members, to normal-weight concrete, structural sand-lightweight concrete, structural sand-lightweight concrete on metal deck, concrete masonry units (CMU) and steel base materials. GDP gas-actuated pins were tested in accordance with ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria AC70 for recognition under the 2006 IBC, the 2006 IRC and the 1997 UBC.
