SELECTING THE RIGHT NAIL, TOOL & CARTRIDGE
7
INDEX
A fastener selection guide is
available to aid in selecting
the right nail if doubtful. It
is included in every DX 9
tool case and can also be
ordered separately.
Selecting the right nail, tool and cartridge is a pre-requisite for good quality fastening.
In addition, improper selection can lead to excessive wear on the DX 9 deck fastening tool.
Select the right nail
X-HSN 24 fastener is used for
fastening deck to bar joist and
light gauge steel structure in
the thickness range 1/8”
(3.2 mm) to 3/8” (9.6 mm).
Select the right tool
For the X-HSN 24 nail you
need to use the DX 9-HSN
or the DX 860-HSN tool.
Select the right nail
X-ENP-19 L15MXR fastener
is used for fastening deck to
structural steel 1/4”(6.4 mm)
to full steel.
Select the right tool
For the X-ENP-19 L15MXR
nail you need to use the DX
9-ENP or the DX 860-ENP
tool.
Select the right cartridge
For the X-ENP-19 L15MXR nail and DX 9-ENP or the DX 860-
ENP tool you need to use the 6.8/18 M40 cartridge.
Select the right cartridge
For the X-HSN 24 nail and the DX 9-HSN or the DX 860-
HSN tool you need to use the 6.8/11 M40 cartridge.
See below reference chart to select the right color cartridge based on steel strength and steel thickness by nail type. The num-
ber within the box provides a quick reference for the tool power level. However, due to variability in base steel, check the nail
stand-off by performing test fastenings and adjust the power level accordingly.
