4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Design:
4.1.1 General: The allowable tension (pullout), shear and oblique load values listed in Tables 2 through 5 are for use in allowable stress design, and are for fasteners driven into the materials specified and for the attachment of the premounted accessories to the fastener. Members fastened to the substrates must be designed in accordance with the applicable code and design criteria. The stress increases and load reductions described in Section 1605.3 of the IBC are not allowed for wind loads acting alone or when combined with vertical loads. No increase is allowed for vertical loads acting alone.
Allowable tension, shear and oblique load values for Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners and assemblies driven into different base materials may be determined by referencing the applicable tables listed in Table 1.
Allowable loads for fasteners subjected to combined tension and shear forces are determined by the following equation:
(p/Pa) + (v/Va) ≤ 1
where:
p = Actual tension load on fastener, lbf (N).
Pa = Allowable tension load on fastener, lbf (N).
v = Actual shear load on fastener, lbf (N).
Va = Allowable shear load on fastener, lbf (N).
4.1.2 Wood to Steel, Concrete, or Masonry: Reference lateral design values for nails with diameters equal to or less than the diameter of the Simpson Strong-Tie®
Gas-Actuated Fasteners and penetration into the main member of 10 fastener diameters, determined in accordance with Part 11 and/or Table 11N of ANSI/AF&PA NDS, are applicable to Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners. The wood element is the side member. The fastener bending yield strength must be limited to the value noted in the footnotes to Table 11N of ANSI/AF&PA NDS, based on the diameter of the Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners.
4.1.3 Seismic Considerations:
4.1.3.1 Use with Structural Components: Resistance to seismic loads is outside the scope of this report. Therefore, the suitability of the Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners and
assemblies for use with structural components that are subjected to seismic loads is outside the scope of this report.
4.1.3.2 Use with Nonstructural Components: Seismic load resistance is outside the scope of this report, except when use is with architectural, mechanical and electrical components described in Section 13.1.4 of ASCE 7, and as follows:
Concrete base materials: The fasteners and assemblies installed in concrete may be used to support acoustical tile or lay-in panel suspended ceiling systems, distributed systems and distribution systems where the service load on any individual fastener or assembly does not exceed the lesser of 90 lbf (400 N) or the published allowable load in Tables 2A, 2B and 3, as applicable.
Steel base materials: The fasteners installed in steel may be used where the service load on any individual fastener or assembly does not exceed the lesser of 250 lbf (1112 N) or the published allowable load shown in Table 5.
For interior, nonstructural walls that are not subject to sustained tension loads and that are not a bracing application, the power-driven fasteners may be used to attach steel track to concrete or steel in all Seismic Design Categories. In Seismic Design Categories D, E, and F, the allowable shear load due to transverse pressure shall be no more than 90 pounds (400 N) when attaching to concrete; or 250 pounds (1,112 N) when attaching to steel. Substantiating calculations must be submitted addressing the fastener-to-base- material capacity and the fastener-to-attached-material capacity. Interior nonstructural walls are limited to locations where bearing walls, shear walls or braced walls are not required by the approved plans. The design load on the fastener must not exceed the allowable load established in this report for the concrete or steel base material.
4.2 Installation:
The fasteners and assemblies must be installed with a power fastening tool in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie® recommendations. The fastening procedures must comply with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions. These instructions must be available on the jobsite at all times during fastener installation.
The fasteners must be installed with the fastener penetration, spacing and edge distances specified in this report. Fasteners must not be installed into concrete until the concrete has reached the specified compressive strength. Fasteners must be placed through the steel deck into the sand-lightweight concrete in accordance with Table 3.

4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Design:
4.1.1 General: The allowable tension (pullout), shear and oblique load values listed in Tables 2 through 5 are for use in allowable stress design, and are for fasteners driven into the materials specified and for the attachment of the premounted accessories to the fastener. Members fastened to the substrates must be designed in accordance with the applicable code and design criteria. The stress increases and load reductions described in Section 1605.3 of the IBC are not allowed for wind loads acting alone or when combined with vertical loads. No increase is allowed for vertical loads acting alone.
Allowable tension, shear and oblique load values for Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners and assemblies driven into different base materials may be determined by referencing the applicable tables listed in Table 1.
Allowable loads for fasteners subjected to combined tension and shear forces are determined by the following equation:
(p/Pa) + (v/Va) ≤ 1
where:
p = Actual tension load on fastener, lbf (N).
Pa = Allowable tension load on fastener, lbf (N).
v = Actual shear load on fastener, lbf (N).
Va = Allowable shear load on fastener, lbf (N).
4.1.2 Wood to Steel, Concrete, or Masonry: Reference lateral design values for nails with diameters equal to or less than the diameter of the Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners and penetration into the main member of 10 fastener diameters, determined in accordance with Part 11 and/or Table 11N of ANSI/AF&PA NDS, are applicable to Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners. The wood element is the side member. The fastener bending yield strength must be limited to the value noted in the footnotes to Table 11N of ANSI/AF&PA NDS, based on the diameter of the Simpson Strong-Tie® Gas-Actuated Fasteners.
4.1.3 Seismic Considerations:
4.1.3.1 Use with Structural Components: Resistance to seismic loads is outside the scope of this report. Therefore,
the suitability of the Simpson Strong-Tie fasteners and assemblies for use with structural components that are subjected to seismic loads is outside the scope of this report.
4.1.3.2 Use with Nonstructural Components: Seismic load resistance is outside the scope of this report, except when use is with architectural, mechanical and electrical components described in Section 13.1.4 of ASCE 7, and as follows:
Concrete base materials: The fasteners and assemblies installed in concrete may be used to support acoustical tile or lay-in panel suspended ceiling systems, distributed systems and distribution systems where the service load on any individual fastener or assembly does not exceed the lesser of 90 lbf (400 N) or the published allowable load in Tables 2A, 2B and 3, as applicable.
Steel base materials: The fasteners installed in steel may be used where the service load on any individual fastener or assembly does not exceed the lesser of 250 lbf (1112 N) or the published allowable load shown in Table 5.
For interior, nonstructural walls that are not subject to sustained tension loads and that are not a bracing application, the power-driven fasteners may be used to attach steel track to concrete or steel in all Seismic Design Categories. In Seismic Design Categories D, E, and F, the allowable shear load due to transverse pressure shall be no more than 90 pounds (400 N) when attaching to concrete; or 250 pounds (1,112 N) when attaching to steel. Substantiating calculations must be submitted addressing the fastener-to-base- material capacity and the fastener-to-attached-material capacity. Interior nonstructural walls are limited to locations where bearing walls, shear walls or braced walls are not required by the approved plans. The design load on the fastener must not exceed the allowable load established in this report for the concrete or steel base material.
4.2 Installation:
The fasteners and assemblies must be installed with a power fastening tool in accordance with Simpson Strong-Tie® recommendations. The fastening procedures must comply with the manufacturer’s published installation instructions. These instructions must be available on the jobsite at all times during fastener installation.
The fasteners must be installed with the fastener penetration, spacing and edge distances specified in this report. Fasteners must not be installed into concrete until the concrete has reached the specified compressive strength. Fasteners must be placed through the steel deck into the sand-lightweight concrete in accordance with Table 3.
Attachment of cold-formed steel tracks to the perimeter of concrete is allowed under the following conditions:
1. No cold joint exists between the slab and foundation below the track.
2. Tracks are not installed on slabs supported by concrete block foundation walls.

SAFETY DATA SHEET
Gas Fuel Cell Page 2 of 7 SDS North America
Inhalation: Remove patient to fresh air. Give oxygen or artificial respiration if needed. If patient
continues to experience difficulty breathing, consult a physician.
Most Important Symptoms: Irritant effects.
General Information: Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. Symptoms may be
delayed. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take
precautions to protect themselves. If exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical or carbon dioxide is recommended. Carbon dioxide can displace oxygen.
Additional Information: Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in a confined space.
Hazards during Fire-Fighting: This material is extremely flammable and can be ignited by heat, spark, flames, or other
sources of ignition (e.g., static electricity, pilot lights, or mechanical/electrical equipment,
and electronic devices such as cell phones, computers, calculators, and pagers which have
not been certified as intrinsically safe). Vapors may travel considerable distances to a
source of ignition where they can ignite, flash back, or explode. May create vapor/air
explosion hazard indoors, in confined spaces, outdoors, or in sewers. If container is not
properly cooled, it can rupture in the heat of a fire. Closed containers exposed to extreme
heat can rupture due to pressure buildup.
Fire-Fighting Procedures: Use standard fire-fighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved
materials. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn. Isolate fuel supply from fire. Move
undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk.
Stay away from ends of container. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk.
If this cannot be done, allow fire to burn. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it
can be done with minimal risk. Water spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing
vapors and to protect personnel. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering
streams, sewers, or drinking water supply.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares,
sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors or mists. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Clean-up Methods: Keep all sources of ignition and hot metal surfaces away from spill/release. The use of
explosion-proof electrical equipment is recommended. Stay upwind and away from
spill/release. Notify person downwind of the spill/release. Isolate danger area and keep
unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal risk. Water
spray may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to
drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: In addition to limitations on storage temperature, fuel cells should be handled and stored
so as to avoid puncture. Even when the fuel cell is empty, the can still contains
flammable gas. Do not puncture fuel cell or expose fuel cell to high temperature. Do not
attempt to refill the fuel cell. The use of explosion-proof electrical equipment is
recommended and may be required. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and
sources of ignition. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene
practices.
Storage: Store locked up. Pressurized container: must not be exposed to temperatures above 50°C
(120°F). Ground all equipment containing material. Store in a cool, dry place out of

direct sunlight. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Store in a well-ventilated
place. Protect against physical damage. Keep out of the reach of children.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective Measure: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Eye Protection: Wear goggles or safety glasses.
Hand Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves such as: Nitrile, neoprene, butyl.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear long sleeve shirt/long pants and other clothing as required to minimize contact.
Respirator Protection: The use of a respirator is not required during normal use of this product in properly
ventilated areas. An approved respirator should be worn whenever workplace conditions
warrant respirator use.

apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn. Move containers from fire area if
you can do so without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well
after fire is out. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams,
sewers, or drinking water supply.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares,
sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
protective clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapors or mists. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Clean-up Methods: Small spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Place in leak-proof
containers. Seal tightly for proper disposal. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual
contamination.
Large spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike far ahead of spill to
contain material. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak
up the product. Place in leak-proof containers. Seal tightly for proper disposal. Following
product recovery, flush area with water. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements
or confined areas.
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to the environment. Contact local authorities in case of spillage to
drain/aquatic environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling: Mechanical ventilation or local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Keep away from
open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Storage: Store away from incompatible materials(see section 10 of the SDS). Keep in original
container, keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Protective Measure: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Eye Protection: Wear chemical splash goggles or safety glasses with side shield.
Hand Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves such as: Nitrile, neoprene, butyl.
Skin and Body Protection: Wear long sleeve shirt/long pants and other clothing as required to minimize contact.
