PD Drive Pins with Washer

PD Drive pins with washers, often used with powder-actuated tools, securely fasten materials like 2×4 lumber, plywood, or metal tracks to concrete or steel. The attached washer increases the bearing surface, providing better holding power for softer materials and ensuring the pin doesn’t pull through.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drive Pins with Washer

 

Q1: When we use drive pins?

A: They are used with powder-actuated tools to fasten materials like wood or steel to concrete, masonry, or structural steel. The washer increases the bearing surface, prevents pull-through, and provides a stronger clamping load.

Q2: What are the key limitations?

A: Avoid using them on soft foam insulation board, as the washer may not prevent pull-through. When working with pressure-treated lumber, use pins with special coatings to prevent corrosion.

Q3: How do I choose the right pin?

A: Select the correct length based on the thickness of the material you are attaching and the required embedment depth into the concrete or steel base.

Q4: What are the common Uses for Drive Pins Without Washers?

A:

  1. Thin Gauge Materials: Securing thin electrical boxes, clips, or cable ties to concrete/steel.
  2. Hard Concrete/Steel: Driving into materials where a washer might buckle, distort, or prevent full penetration.
  3. Flush Finish: When the fastener head needs to be flush with the surface of the material, such as attaching wood flooring components directly.
  4. Increased Piercing: Without a washer, the pin acts more directly to pierce and secure materials that are hard-to-penetrate.

Q5: Why Use Washered Pins Instead?

A:

  1. Prevent Blowouts: Washers (sometimes called “Mickey pins”) prevent the pin from blowing out the surface of weak or soft concrete.
  2. Distribute Loads: Washers are necessary to spread pressure when anchoring softer or more fragile materials, preventing the pin head from pulling through the fastened material.
  3. Tool Lifespan: Washered pins help align the pin within the barrel, which reduces wear on the tool piston.
