 POWDER TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION

Ramset has designed and engineered the right powder actuated tool for your
applications. To ensure you use a powder actuated tool correctly, please take the
time to review the Operator's Safety and Operating Instruction Manual packaged
with each tool. These manuals are also available for download on the Ramset
website.
To assure safety on the jobsite, OSHA and ANSI require that all powder actuated
tool users become trained and certified for the particular tool being used. One
way Ramset enables you to receive this training is through our website training
program. This innovative approach to education combines interactive web-based
training techniques and online testing with immediate feedback to provide you a
rich learning environment.
The course consists of approximately 30 pages of usage, safety and
troubleshooting material.
Upon completion of this brief course you will have the opportunity to take an
online exam. Instructions for taking these exams are provided at the end of the
course. With successful completion of the exam, you have the opportunity to print
a certification card.
As an industry leader in powder actuated fastening systems. Ramset continues
to provide the most effective and comprehensive instructor and operator training
programs available.

HOW TO SELECT A POWDER ACTUATED FASTENER

• DRIVE PINS are used to directly fasten an object (permanent installation).
• THREADED STUDS are used where the object fastened is to be removed or where shimming is required. The following shows how to determine shank
and thread length. Required penetration is determined by load requirement (illustrated in the following examples).
Ramset fasteners may be specified by their type or catalog number to satisfy fastening requirements.

 LEED CREDITS
What is LEED?
The purpose of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is to construct buildings in an energy
efficient manner and reduce the buildings’ energy consumption. As a result, these buildings can help conserve
non-renewable energy resources; decrease dependence on foreign oil; and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Ramset LEED Credit MR 5.1

MR 5.1 was developed with the intent to increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and
manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental
impact resulting from transportation.
Ramset’s pins, sealants, spring steel products, electrical accessories and anchors may meet the requirements for LEED
MR 5.1 if your project falls within 500 miles of our manufacturing facilities.

How to calculate LEED MR 5.1

LEED MR Credit 5.1 is calculated on a 500
mile radius from/to distribution points. Use
Google Maps to calculate the distance to
your project from:

Ramset Recycles RECYCLING

Ramset has always recognized the value of utilizing recycled materials
where available.
The raw material sourced for the manufacture of Ramset pins contains
approximately 10-20% mill scrap when it is converted to wire material. The plastic
and casing material in our loads typically consists of 10% recycled material.
Our packaging also contains post-consumer recycled material. The paper board
(inner cartons) containers are typically made from 40% recycled material;
corrugated cartons typically contain 30-35% recycled material.
Ramset has also instituted a recycling program at its Glendale Heights facility for
the batteries used in its gas powered tools.

FEATURES
Still the most revolutionary fastening system in the
construction industry!
Since its introduction in 1991, TrakFast has been the tool of choice for both interior and
exterior contractors. The TrakFast Automatic Fastening System fastens all types of track,
from standard track to hat channel, deep leg, Z, and J channel. Contractors continue to
report tremendous savings when using TrakFast for high production fastening. They have
learned that TrakFast’s actual cost in place beats all other systems. The increased speed
and productivity of TrakFast allows the contractor to bid more competitively, complete the
job sooner and move on to the next job. Anyone can use TrakFast—just load the pins and
fire. It’s that easy!

Ramset is serious when it comes to driving job speed by
creating the T3SS—the single shot tool that will help move
contractors from powder to gas.
The T3SS provides the benefits of shooting a gas tool,
including reduced installation time and operator fatigue for
the contractor who normally shoots a muzzle loaded
powder tool. No more fines for unspent loads
on the jobsite.
To make the T3SS the most versatile gas tool in the industry,
Users can change out nosepieces to accommodate any fastening need. From metal-to-concrete, hard

Note 1: ALLOWABLE loads are shown in the LARGE BOLD font, Ultimate loads are shown in smaller italic font. Note 2: Testing conducted in accordance with ICC AC70
& ASTM E1190. Note 3: Safety factors are based on coefficient of variation. In accordance with ICC AC70, the safety factor will be no less than 5. Note 4: Cyclic,
fatigue, shock loads, and other design criteria may require a different safety factor. Note 5: Job site testing may be required to determine actual job site values.
Note 6: Values shown are for fastenings that have the entire pointed end of the fastener driven through the steel plate; except as noted below. Note 7: Fastener
penetration is 3/8" minimum. Note 8: Fastener penetration is 7/16" minimum. Note 9: Fastener penetration is 1/2" minimum Note 10: For SI: 1 lbf = 4.448 N, 1 inch
= 25.4 mm, 1 ksi = 6.89MPa. * Partial penetration = .28
