Simpson Strong-Tie PDPAWL-150 PDPAWL.157-in. x 1-1/2-in. Powder-Actuated Pin w/ 1-in. Washer (100-Qty) (Pack of 10)

Description

Product Overview

The Simpson Strong‑Tie PDPAWL‑150 is a precision‑engineered powder‑actuated pin designed for high‑strength fastening in demanding construction environments. Each pin measures 0.157 in. in shank diameter and features a 0.300 in. head, providing a balanced profile that maximizes impact efficiency while minimizing material deformation. The included 1‑inch zinc‑plated washer adds corrosion resistance and distributes load evenly across the substrate, extending the service life of both the fastener and the attached material. Constructed from hardened steel, the pin meets rigorous ICC‑ES ESR‑2138 standards, ensuring compliance with Florida FL15730 and Louisiana RR25469 codes. Packaged in convenient sets of ten, the PDPAWL‑150 offers a reliable inventory solution for contractors who demand consistency on every job site.

Usage

These powder‑actuated pins excel in a variety of applications, from commercial steel framing to residential wood‑to‑metal connections. The design accommodates both metal studs and timber members, making it ideal for attaching metal panels, electrical conduit, HVAC ductwork, and fire‑rated assemblies. The minimum effective shank length must equal or exceed the combined thickness of the materials being joined, ensuring a secure embedment that resists shear forces and vibration. The pins are compatible with Simpson Strong‑Tie powder‑actuated tool systems as well as other common tools, providing flexibility for crews that use mixed equipment. Whether you are installing drywall anchors, securing structural steel brackets, or fastening heavy‑duty shelving, the PDPAWL‑150 delivers consistent performance in indoor and outdoor settings.
