PowerPin® for Heavy Steel or the Densest Concrete

This report, issued by ICC Evaluation Service, Inc. covers the use of Aerosmith pins for: A) Building components to normal-weight concrete, B) Horizontal Diaphragms, and C) Structural Steel Substrates. The fasteners are used as alternatives to cast-in-place anchors described in IBC Sections 1911 and 1912 for placement in concrete and to the welds and bolts used  to attach to steel, described in Sections 2204.1 and 2204.2.  The fasteners may also be used where an engineered design is submitted in accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3.  

The SurePin® Pneumatic Fasteners are pneumatically driven fasteners used to attach building components such as fiber-cement siding and sheathing materials directly to concrete masonry units (CMUs). The fasteners are used as alternatives to the embedded anchors described in Section 8.1.3 of TMS 402 referenced in Section 2107 of the IBC (Section 2.1.4 of TMS 402 referenced in Section 2107 of the 2012 IBC). For structures regulated under the IRC, the fasteners may also be used where an engineered design is submitted in accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3.

Code compliance: 2021, 2018, 2015, 2012 IBC and IRC 

The Aerosmith Fasteners (2385AG, 2359NG, and 5454 HPG) are pneumatically driven fasteners used to attach roof and floor sheathing to cold-formed steel floor framing (CFS) members. The fasteners may be used to attach wood sheathing to CFS in structures regulated by the IRC, provided an engineered design is submitted in accordance with Section R301.1.3 of the IRC.

This report, issued by ICC Evaluation service Inc cover the use of Aerosmith 3000 series pins to fasten cold-formed steel to normal-weight concrete, sand-lightweight concrete, sand-lightweight concrete filled steel deck panels, concrete masonry units (CMUs) and structural steel substrate materials.
