The Simpson Gas-Actuated Angle Clip with 1" x.125 Pins is a preassembled MEP fastener from Simpson engineered to attach ceiling wires to concrete. Built around a smooth-shank pin joined to a 90 deg. angle clip, this assembly streamlines mechanical, electrical, and plumbing ceiling support work by combining the clip and fastener into a single ready-to-drive unit compatible with both gas-actuated concrete nailer tools and common powder-actuated tools.

Key Features

• Preassembled angle clip and smooth-shank fastener - arrives ready to install with no separate component handling, reducing setup time on high-volume ceiling wire fastening projects
• 90 deg. angle clip configuration - provides a secure right-angle mounting point purpose-built for suspending ceiling wires in MEP installations
• Compatible with gas-actuated concrete nailer tools - enables fast, repeatable driving into concrete for large-scale mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications
• Also works with common powder-actuated tools - extends versatility to harder substrates such as structural steel or extra-hard concrete without requiring a different fastener
• Carbon steel construction with zinc finish - delivers structural strength alongside corrosion resistance suited to interior ceiling support environments

Why This Product

• One preassembled unit does the job - the clip and pin ship together as a single assembly, so installers spend less time managing loose parts and more time driving fasteners on the job site
• Built for the demands of MEP ceiling work - the 90 deg. angle clip geometry is specifically engineered for attaching ceiling wires to concrete, making it a direct fit for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing overhead support applications rather than a generic workaround
• Dual tool compatibility keeps crews moving - switching between gas-actuated nailers for standard concrete and powder-actuated tools for structural steel or extra-hard concrete means one fastener solution covers a wider range of substrate conditions on the same project
• Zinc-finished carbon steel for reliable interior performance - the combination of carbon steel strength and a zinc finish provides the durability and corrosion resistance that ceiling wire fastening in MEP environments demands
