Metallics M50574 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are Metallics M50574 .27 caliber red loads used for?
These are powder loads, not fasteners themselves. The M50574 is a .27 caliber long red load used in a powder actuated tool to drive pins into concrete or steel. Red is the heavier of the common power levels, so it is the one reached for on harder concrete or thicker base material where a lower level does not set the pin flush. The load supplies the charge; the drive pin is a separate item you order alongside it.
2) Will .27 caliber long red loads work in my powder actuated tool?
Only if the tool is chambered for .27 caliber long loads. Powder actuated tools are caliber and case specific, so a .22 caliber tool or one built for .27 short will not accept the M50574. Check the caliber marking on the tool before ordering, and match the power level to the base material rather than the tool.
3) Do the Metallics .27 red loads include the drive pins?
No. The M50574 clamshell contains 100 powder loads only. Drive pins or threaded studs are purchased separately and chosen by shank length for the material thickness you are fastening through, so plan on ordering both to complete the job.
4) How many loads come in the Metallics M50574 pack?
One hundred loads per pack, supplied in a clamshell. For electrical rough-in work (strut, conduit clamps, box mounting) a 100 count clamshell is typically one or two days of hanging, so crews running steady anchoring usually buy several at a time rather than one.
5) Should I use a red load or step down to a lower power level?
Start low and work up. Overpowering drives the pin too deep, spalls the concrete and loses holding value; underpowering leaves the head standing proud. The red .27 long load is a high power level, so it suits dense or cured concrete and steel base material. On lighter block or green concrete a lower color level will usually set the pin correctly and red will be too much.
6) What part number do I order for Metallics .27 long red loads?
Order Metallics M50574. That is the manufacturer part number for the .27 caliber long red load in the 100 count clamshell, and it is the single configuration the item ships in, so there is no finish, length or color option to specify.
