When fastening into concrete always maintain a minimum 3" spacing between
fastenings and 3" from any free edge. Penetration into concrete should always be 1"
minimum (see page 16, "How to Select a Powder Actuated Fastener"). The concrete
thickness should be at least 3 times the penetration depth.
When fastening into steel always maintain a minimum 1-1/2" spacing between fasten-
ings and 1/2" from any free edge. Fastener length should be long enough to penetrate
the steel completely (see page 16) Steel thickness is limited to 3/16" to 5/16".
