4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Design:
4.1.1 Allowable Loads: The most critical applied loads,
excluding seismic load effects, resulting from the load
combinations in IBC Section 1605.3.1 or 1605.3.2 must not
exceed the allowable loads described in this section., For
fasteners which are subjected to seismic loads, see
Section 4.1.3 for additional information.
The allowable shear and tension (pullout) values in the
tables of this report are for use in allowable stress design
(ASO). The allowable loads apply to the connection of the
fasteners to the specified base materials only, and limit
states such as pull -over and lateral bearing, which are
governed by the properties of attached materials, are
outside the scope of this report. Design of the connection
to the attached material must comply with the applicable
requirements of the IBC. The stress increases and load
reductions described in IBC Section 1605.3, must not be
allowed for wind loads acting alone or combined with
vertical loads. No adjustment is allowed for vertical loads
acting alone.
The allowable shear and tension values for the Ramset
and Duo -Fast fasteners driven into normal -weight concrete
are shown in Table 1. Allowable shear and tension values
for these fasteners driven into sand -lightweight concrete
are shown in Table 2. Allowable shear.and tension values
for these fasteners driven into sand -lightweight concrete
filled steel deck panels are shown in Table 3. Allowable
shear and tension values for these fasteners driven into
steel are shown in Tables 4 and 5. Allowable shear -and
tension values for these fasteners driven into concrete
masonry are shown in Table 6.
The allowable shear and tension values for the ceiling
clip assemblies installed in normal -weight concrete are
shown in Table 7. Allowable shear and tension values for
the ceiling clip assemblies installed through steel deck
ESRA799.I Most Kidely Accepted and Trusted Page of
panels and into the sand -lightweight concrete fill of the
metal steel deck panel are shown in Table 8.
The allowable loads for fasteners subjected to combined
shear and tension loads must be determined using the
following equation:
(PIP,) t (vIV.) 5 1
where:
p = Actual tension load, Ibf (N).
P. = Allowable tension load, Ibf IN).
v = Actual shear load, Ibf (N).
V. = Allowable shear load, Ibf (N).
4.1.2 Wood to Steel or Concrete: Reference lateral
design values for nails, determined in accordance with Part
11 and Table 11N of the ANSIIAWC NDS, are applicable
to Ramset fasteners of equal or greater diameters. The
wood element must be considered to be the side member.
The fastener bending yield strength used in determination
of the connection capacity is allowed to be taken as the
value noted in the footnotes to Table 11N of the NDS,
based on the shank diameter of the Ramset fastener.
Under the 2012 and 2009 IBC and IRC, the fasteners
may be used in contact with fire -retardant -treated wood in
dry, interior locations only, in accordance with IBC Section
2304.9.5.4. IRC Section R317.3.4 and ITW Ramsefs
recommendations. Use of fasteners in contact with
preservative -treated wood or in contact with fire -retardant -
treated wood in exterior applications is outside the scope
of this report
Under the 2006 IBC and-IR6, use of fasteners in contact
with preservative -treated wood or fire -retardant -treated
wood is outside the scope of this report,
4.1.3 Seismic Considerations: The fasteners are
recognized for use when subjected to seismic loads as
follows:
1. The Ramset and Duo -Fast fasteners may be used
with nonstructural components listed in Section 13.1.4
of ASCE 7, which are exempt from the requirements
of ASCE 7.
2. Concrete Base Materials: The fasteners installed in
concrete base materials may be used to support
acoustical file or lay -in panel suspended ceiling
systems, distributed systems and distribution systems
where the service load on any individual fastener
does not exceed the lesser of 90 Ibf (400 N) or the
published allowable load in Tables 1, 2, 3,7, and 8, as
applicable.
3. Steel Base Materials: The fasteners installed in steel
may be used for attaching nonstructural components
where the service load on any individual fastener
does not exceed the lesser of 250 Ibf (1112 N) or the
published allowable load shown in Tables 4 and 5, as
applicable.
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
shown in Tables 1 through 5, as applicable.
4.2 Installation:
The fasteners must be installed in accordance with this
report and the ITW Ramset Installation instructions. A copy
of these instructions must be available on the jobsite at all
times during installation.
A low -velocity, powder -actuated fastening tool,
recommended by ITW Ramset or ITW Brands - Duo -Fast,
must be used to install the fasteners. The fastener
penetration, spacing and edge distances must be as noted
in the tables of this report.
5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE

less than the maximum allowable loads described in
Section 4.1.1 must be submitted to the code official.
The calculations must be prepared by a registered
design professional where required by the statutes
of the jurisdiction in which the project is to be
constructed.
5.4 Refer to Section 4.1.3 for seismic considerations.
5.5 The minimum concrete thickness must be three times
the fastener embedment in concrete, except where
noted otherwise in this report.
5.6 The use of fasteners is limited to uncracked concrete.
Cracking occurs when f > fr due to service loads or
deformations.
5.7 Installation must be limited to dry interior
environments, which include exterior walls which are
protected by an exterior wall envelope.
5.8 Refer to Section 4.1.2 regarding the use of fasteners
in contact with preservative -treated or fire -retardant -
treated.

1. Screws shall extend through the connection with a minimum of three exposed threads per AISI General Provisions Standard Section D1.3.
2. Tabulated loads are based on calculations per AISI S100-07 using the thinner steel member in the connection. A safety factor of f1= 3.0
and resistance factor 0 = 0.5 were used to determine the ASD and LRFD strength values.
3. Loads are based on cold -formed steel members with a minimum yield strength, Fy, of 33 ksi and tensile strength, Fu, of 45 ksi for 43 mil (18
ga.) and thinner, and a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi and tensile strength of 65 ksi for 54 mil (16 ga.) and thicker.
4. For other pertinent_ information, pleaserefer to the Important Information (/products/connectors/cold-formed-steel-connectors/technical-
notes) and General Notes (/products/connectors/cold-formed-steel-connectors/technical-notes/general-notes) pages.
