Product Description
The Simpson Strong-Tie GDPS-50KT delivers professional-grade fastening performance with a purpose-built step-shank design engineered specifically for use with the GCN-MEPMAG gas-actuated nailer. Each pin features a smaller-diameter tip for easier penetration into steel, while the larger-diameter upper shank delivers superior shear resistance for reliable, consistent installation. Supplied in a convenient 1,000-count pack, these zinc-finished carbon steel pins are a trusted solution for demanding mechanical, electrical, and plumbing applications.
