Simpson Strong-Tie ® Anchoring and Fastening Systems for Concrete and Masonry
GCN-MEP Gas-Actuated Concrete Nailer The new GCN-MEP gas-actuated concrete nailer is the ideal solution for attaching light-duty fixtures to concrete and metal deck for mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) applications. Since the tool does not require electrical cords or pneumatic hoses, the gas-actuated GCN-MEP is completely portable, increasing productivity.
