FASTER FASTENING TO COLD-FORMED STEEL X-IE-GS Insulation fasteners Built to make insulation fastening to metal studs easier, X-IE-GS insulation fasteners to cold-formed steel studs deliver up to three times faster application speeds than traditional methods. The preassembled washer and nail in the X-IE-GS provides consistent quality and helps allow for proper installation every time with the pull of the trigger — little to no need for rework. With simpler application to help reduce complexity and labor hours, the X-IE-GS’s higher fastening quality and more intuitive design also provides increased safety on the jobsite. • Only direct fastening solution for installing insulation boards and mineral wool directly to steel studs with sheathing • Hybrid helical knurling provides better stick rate to the metal studs with the speed of a gas actuated nail • The X-IE-GS allows you to use the GX-IE tool for attaching insulation to metal studs, in addition to concrete Technical data X-IE-GS BODY / PLATE Material HDPE, UV stabilized Diameter 2.36” X-GS 57 NAIL Carbon steek shank HRC 57.5, dia. = 0.118” FASTENING PATTERN, EDGE DISTANCE AND SPACING ON INSULATION MATERIALS Fastened material Rigid mineral wool EPS, XPS, PIR, PUR, PIR/PUR with foil facing Min. number of fasteners per sq. ft. 0.6 Pattern, edge distance and spacing Follow insulation board manufacturers’ recommendations Order information Description Item number X-IE-GS 1 2299884 X-IE- GS 1-1/2 2293071 X-IE-GS 2 2293072 X-IE- GS 2-1/2 2293073 X-IE-GS 3 2293074 X-IE- GS 3 -1/2 2299885 X-IE-GS 4 2293075 Accessories Description Item number GX-IE tool 2210319 Fastener guides 2210569 XL conversion kits 2210570 APPLICATIONS AND ADVANTAGES
