Substrate and separations
Caution
Pins may not be driven in unsuitable materials or
components.
Recommended substrate
Check the substrate thickness. The minimum pen-
etration depth of the driving pin and the minimum
strength of the surface must be maintained. This
ensures the secure hold of the fastening.

Concrete (DIN 1045,
C10/15 - C 40/50)
18 - 25 mm 100 mm
Calcium silicate approx. 32 m 100 mm
Steel 5 mm or
greater
5 mm or

Solid brick 15 -32 mm 100 mm
Minimum distance of the substrate
from centres and edges (see also the
provisions of the German BGV D9
2002)
The distance to free edges must be sucient to
prevent the pin from lateral penetration.
Do not drive in the pins too close in order to prevent
them from comming loose from their xing position
in case the material breakes out or tears away.
