DCN890 Nails 15 Degree

DCN890 15° nails are collated fasteners designed specifically for use with cordless concrete nailers. Built for rapid fixing into masonry, steel and dense substrates, these gasless nails drive clean with superior holding power in demanding onsite conditions.

What Are DCN890 Nails Used For?

These nails are engineered for structural and heavy-duty fixings where power tools need to anchor into tough materials without the use of gas or compressors.

• Fixing Timber Battens to Concrete – Secure timber wall or ceiling supports to blockwork or poured slab substrates.
• Installing Conduit and Clips to Masonry – Drive into brick or block to fix electrical fittings without rawl plugs or drills.
• Strapping and Restraint Brackets – Pin straps, clips or brackets into steel frames or concrete soffits fast.
• Metal Track and Studwork Fixing – Secure U-channel or metal stud base to floors or ceiling edges without delay.

Who Uses DCN890 15° Nails?

Used by structural trades, M&E contractors and fixers working on high-speed installs where a strong, gas-free fixing method is essential.

• First Fix Carpenters – Secure timber directly to concrete or steel without anchors or adhesives.
• Electricians & Data Fitters – Fix trunking, catenary wire clips and conduit with quick shot nails into hard walls or ceilings.
• Dryliners – Install base track and channel around slab floors, soffits or concrete columns.
• HVAC & Ductwork Installers – Mount brackets or straps to ceilings or blockwork with minimal setup time.

What Jobs Are DCN890 Nails Best At?

These nails take on substrates standard nailers can’t — enabling high-volume fixing into solid or dense material without dust, plugs or pilot holes.

• Pinning Timber to Concrete or Brick – Ideal for ceilings, reveals, risers or boxing built off hard surfaces.
• Firing Metal Track to Floor Slabs – Fix channel quickly and reduce noise or breakout versus hammer and plug.
• Installing P-Clips and Saddle Clamps – Drive into block or steel beams when clamping pipes, cables or data trays.
• Working on High Ceilings or Overhead Soffits – Gasless tools fire upward safely into concrete or slab without recoil kickback.
• Fixing into Dense Masonry – Drive nails into hard block or aged brick where standard fixings struggle.

How to Choose the Best DCN890 15° Nails

Get better drive depth, hold and durability by matching the right DCN890 nails to your application:

1. Nail Length

Choose 13–57mm based on material thickness. Shorter for clips, longer for battens or structural base.

2. Material Type

Hardened steel nails are ideal for concrete and steel fixing. Lighter metals may suit for lighter substrates.

3. Collation Style

All nails for DCN890 are wire collated at 15°. Ensure the strip is clean and tool-fed properly for jam-free firing.

4. Finish and Protection

Galvanised or zinc coatings resist rust and prolong fixing life — ideal for soffits or exposed installs.

5. Tool Compatibility

Only use these nails in tools rated for concrete and steel substrates. Designed specifically for the DCN890 platform.
