 Direct Fastening for Concrete, Steel, Track, Formwork & Site Installation

Need to secure a fixture to concrete or steel without drilling every fixing point first? ICCONS® | PX Drive Pins provide direct-fastening options for compatible low-velocity powder-actuated systems used across construction, fit-out, formwork, framing & installation work.

Standard PX drive pins cover applications including timber baseplates to concrete, formwork, safety barriers, wall ties & steel track while specialised assemblies extend the system into thin-sheet fixing, ceiling work, insulation & suspended services. Before selecting a pin, identify the substrate, fixture thickness, required configuration & compatible equipment. Compare alternative fixing methods through Screws & Anchors, prepare drilled connections with Concrete Cutting & Drilling Tools or browse Specialty Fasteners & Fixings for less conventional fastening requirements.

What Are ICCONS® PX Drive Pins?

PX drive pins provide a direct connection between a suitable fixture & compatible concrete or steel substrate.

Instead of drilling a hole, inserting an anchor then completing a separate fastening operation, a compatible powder-actuated tool drives the selected pin through the fixture & into the receiving material.

That approach becomes particularly useful where suitable fixing points repeat across a work area.

Standard ICCONS PX drive pins are available in documented lengths including:

► 16 mm
► 19 mm
► 25 mm
► 32 mm
► 38 mm
► 45 mm
► 50 mm
► 57 mm
► 60 mm
► 65 mm
► 70 mm
► 75 mm
► 99 mm

Standard configurations use a 3.7 mm shank & 8 mm head.

For practical information about other mechanical fastening methods used across construction work, read the Fastener Guide Bolts Screws Anchors.

Where Can PX Drive Pins Reduce Installation Steps?

Long runs of repetitive fixings are where direct fastening can make a noticeable difference to the installation sequence.

Consider steel track being fixed to concrete. A drilled connection can require marking, drilling, clearing the hole, inserting the fixing then completing the connection.

A suitable direct-fastening system can reduce those individual operations.

PX drive pins can be used across appropriate applications including:

► Timber baseplates to concrete
► Formwork installation
► Safety barriers
► Wall ties
► Steel track
► Suitable concrete fastening
► Suitable steel fastening

Correct substrate, fixture & equipment selection remain essential regardless of installation volume.

Concrete or Steel? Identify What Sits Under the Fixture

The substrate should be known before the crew begins choosing pin lengths.

Concrete varies in hardness, age & condition while steel presents different thickness & penetration requirements.

Before starting, confirm:

► Base material
► Fixture material
► Fixture thickness
► Required pin configuration
► Compatible tool
► Appropriate load for the system
► Access around the fixing position
► Applicable installation requirements

If the substrate or connection is unsuitable for direct fastening, change to an appropriate drilled fixing method rather than forcing the PX system into the job.

Standard Pin or Purpose-Built Assembly?

Not every PX connection starts with a bare drive pin.

Different pre-assembled configurations allow the system to address particular fixture types.

PX Configuration

Practical Purpose

Standard drive pin

General direct fastening to suitable concrete & steel

22 mm washered assembly

Increased bearing area for suitable thin material & fixtures with existing holes

Top-hat assembly

Pre-assembled fixing with spring-washer action

Angle-clip assembly

Ceiling, partitioning & wire-hanging applications

36 mm insulation washer assembly

Securing insulation across selected panel thicknesses

PX insulation fastener

Purpose-designed insulation-panel fixing

M10 rod-hanger assembly

Threaded connection for suitable suspended ceiling & ducting work

Choosing the appropriate assembly can remove the need to improvise separate components around a standard pin.

Thin Fixtures Can Benefit From a Wider Bearing Surface

A narrow pin head & a broad metal washer support the fixture in different ways.

ICCONS' 22 mm metal-washer PX assemblies provide increased bearing area around the fixing point.

Documented pin lengths include:

► 25 mm
► 32 mm
► 38 mm

These configurations can suit compatible thin plastic or metal material & fixtures with existing holes.

The washer supports the fixture over a broader area but does not make an unsuitable substrate appropriate for direct fastening.

Where conventional threaded connections require washers & associated hardware, browse Nuts & Washers.

Top-Hat Assemblies Add Clamping Action

A fixture with an existing hole may benefit from a pre-assembled fixing that clamps the component against the substrate.

PX top-hat assemblies combine a drive pin with a component that acts as a spring washer when correctly installed.

Documented versions include:

► 16 mm
► 19 mm
► 25 mm

Washer-plus-top-hat configurations are also available where a larger bearing surface is required.

This makes assembly type another selection point alongside pin length.

Ceiling & Partition Work Uses Different Fixture Geometry

Overhead services rarely resemble a timber baseplate sitting flat against a slab.

ICCONS angle-clip assemblies combine the drive pin & clip into a ready-to-use configuration for suitable:

► Ceiling work
► Partitioning
► Wire hanging

Documented angle-clip configurations include 25 mm, 27 mm & 32 mm drive-pin options.

The pre-assembled format reduces the need to combine individual pieces at every fixing point.

For longer overhead runs,  Measuring & Layout Tools can assist with establishing consistent fixing positions before installation begins.

Need an M10 Thread Below the Substrate?

Suspended ducting & ceiling work can require a threaded connection rather than a fixture held directly against the base material.

ICCONS provides an M10 rod-hanger assembly for this type of installation.

The configuration combines an M10 internal thread with a 27 mm PX drive pin, providing a connection point for threaded rod in suitable suspended ceiling & ducting applications.

Before installation, confirm that the substrate, hanger arrangement, equipment & complete suspended system are appropriate for the work.

Don't Choose the Longest Pin by Default

Extra pin length is not automatically an advantage.

Pin selection needs to account for the fixture & the intended connection with the compatible substrate.

Standard PX drive pins extend through to 99 mm but an important equipment limitation applies:

The 99 mm standard PX drive pin is not compatible with the PX375.

Check each configuration against the actual equipment being used.

Before sending consumables to site, match:

► Pin type
► Pin length
► Fixture
► Substrate
► Tool model
► Applicable load

Products within the same family can still have different equipment requirements.

Check a Representative Fixing Before Starting the Run

The first completed connection can reveal conditions that were not obvious from drawings or a visual inspection.

Assess the initial suitable installation carefully.

Look for:

► Unexpected substrate damage
► Poor pin penetration
► Excessive penetration
► Fixture movement
► Incorrect seating
► Distortion around thin fixtures
► Inconsistent behaviour between fixing positions

If the completed fixing does not behave as expected, investigate the substrate, fixture, consumable & equipment setup before continuing.

Formwork & Temporary Installations Still Need Planned Consumables

Temporary site work can involve hundreds of fixing points even when the assembly will eventually be removed.

PX drive pins can suit appropriate formwork & safety-barrier applications.

Before repetitive work begins:

► Establish substrate condition
► Confirm fixture thickness
► Select the corresponding pin
► Keep compatible loads with the equipment
► Separate different pin lengths
► Check initial installations
► Monitor changes in the substrate

For crews preparing consumables before a busy stage of work, Spring Jobsite Prep Getting Your Gear Ready provides further practical site-preparation guidance.

Insulation Needs Its Own PX Configuration

A bare drive pin does not provide the same panel support as a purpose-designed insulation fixing.

ICCONS has dedicated insulation configurations within the PX system.

A 36 mm metal insulation-washer assembly covers selected insulation thicknesses from 23 mm to 50 mm.

Separate PX insulation fasteners cover panel thicknesses from 25 mm to 100 mm, with configurations for suitable ceiling, façade & EPS insulation applications.

These products provide a wider supporting face against the insulation.

Where the fixture itself is insulation, select the appropriate insulation configuration rather than adapting a standard PX pin.

Harder Substrates May Require a Different Pin Configuration

Difficult drivability should prompt a check of the substrate & selected consumable rather than repeated attempts with the same setup.

ICCONS also offers specialised ballistic-point PX configurations.

These products differ from the standard 3.7 mm PX drive-pin family, with documented ballistic configurations using different geometry including selected 4 mm shank designs.

Use the specialised pin only where its individual specification suits the application.

A different point design should not be treated as a universal replacement for the standard PX range.

Keep PX Consumables Organised by Work Area

Standard pins, washered assemblies, clips & hangers can look deceptively similar once several boxes are open on site.

Separate stock according to:

► Pin length
► Assembly type
► Tool compatibility
► Fixture type
► Substrate
► Installation area

Keep specialised assemblies apart from standard pins.

Where several crews share equipment, identify which consumables belong to each section of the job before installation begins.

This becomes particularly useful when the project moves between baseplates, track, overhead services & other fixture types during the same stage of work.

When Should You Drill Instead?

Direct fastening removes installation steps only when the substrate & connection suit the method.

Consider another fixing system where:

► The substrate is unsuitable for powder-actuated fastening
► The connection requires a specified anchor system
► Fixture geometry is incompatible
► Installation results are inconsistent
► A removable threaded connection is required
► The applicable design specifies another fastening method

For concrete connections requiring conventional anchoring, compare  Anchor Bolts.

The appropriate method is the one that suits the actual connection rather than simply the one requiring fewer operations.

Six Details to Confirm Before Loading the Tool

A short pre-installation check can prevent the wrong consumable reaching a repetitive fixing run.

Substrate

Is the receiving material concrete or steel & is it suitable for the intended direct-fastening method?

Fixture

Are you securing a timber baseplate, track, thin sheet, clip, hanger, insulation or another compatible component?

Configuration

Does the job require a standard pin, washered assembly, top hat, angle clip, insulation fixing or rod hanger?

Length

Which pin length suits the fixture & intended installation?

Equipment

Is the selected consumable compatible with the actual low-velocity tool being used?

First Fixing

Does a representative installation seat & hold as expected?

Resolve any uncertainty before the same setup is repeated across the work area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Timber baseplates to suitable concrete are among the applications for standard PX drive pins. The pin, equipment & installation setup still need to suit the actual fixture & substrate.

The metal washer increases the bearing area around the fixing point. It can suit compatible thin plastic or metal material & fixtures with existing holes where that broader support is appropriate.

No. The 99 mm standard PX drive pin is not compatible with the PX375. Confirm compatibility before allocating pins to a particular tool.

The top-hat component provides spring-washer action when correctly installed, helping clamp suitable fixtures with existing holes against the substrate.

An M10 rod-hanger assembly is available with a 27 mm PX drive pin for suitable suspended ceiling & ducting applications.

Purpose-designed insulation configurations are available for that work. These provide a broader supporting surface against the panel & are selected around the insulation thickness.
