Metallics M50098 Anchors .300" Head Drive Pins W/ 7/8" (Jar 100)

The M50098 is a drive pin with a .300 inch head and a 7/8 inch pin length, packed 100 per jar. Order by model M50098 if you need to match what is already on the job.

Yes. A .300 inch head drive pin is the standard head size for low velocity powder actuated fastening tools, and the M50098 carries that .300 head with a 7/8 inch pin. The 7/8 inch length is a short pin, suited to fastening thin material such as conduit straps, clips, furring, or electrical boxes directly to concrete or steel rather than thicker wood plate.

For strap and clip work into concrete, yes, that is what the 7/8 inch length is for. A pin only needs enough shank past the fixture to embed in the base material, so a thin strap plus a 7/8 inch pin leaves adequate embedment in concrete. If you are shooting through a thicker fixture, a wood plate, or sleepers, step up to a longer pin instead of this one.

No drilling. A drive pin is driven in one shot, unlike a sleeve, wedge, or drop-in anchor that needs a pre-drilled hole and a torque wrench. That makes the M50098 a speed item for repetitive electrical attachment, but it is not removable or adjustable once set, and it is not the choice where you need a threaded or reusable connection.

The jar of 100 M50098 pins contains fasteners only. You supply the powder actuated tool and the matching powder loads, chosen for the base material and pin length you are driving. The pins themselves ship without washers or loads.

Metallics catalogs the M50098 as an electrical fastener, and the .300 head, 7/8 inch size is the one electricians reach for most: mounting straps, clips, boxes, and small brackets to concrete or steel deck. Nothing about the pin restricts it to electrical trades, but the length is sized for thin-fixture attachment rather than heavy structural fastening.
