Simpson Strong-tie P22AC2A .22 Caliber Powder Load Level 2

Product Description

The SIMPSON STRONG-TIE P22AC2A is a .22 caliber powder load rated at Level 2 power, designed for use with compatible powder-actuated fastening tools on commercial and residential job sites. Powder loads provide the controlled propellant charge that drives fasteners into concrete, steel, and other structural base materials. Level 2 indicates a mid-range power setting appropriate for moderate-density substrates. Installation professionals select the correct load level based on base material hardness and fastener type to achieve consistent drive depth without blowout or incomplete penetration.

This powder load is suited for trade professionals including ironworkers, concrete framers, and general contractors who rely on powder-actuated tools for structural fastening tasks. Typical applications include attaching track, bridging, and other light structural members to concrete slabs or steel members. Sold by the box, these loads are a consumable component used daily on active job sites where speed and consistent performance are required.

Installation Notes

Powder-actuated loads must only be used by trained, licensed, or certified operators in accordance with OSHA 1926.302 requirements for powder-actuated tools. Always verify that the correct load level is matched to the base material and fastener before firing. Inspect the tool for proper function and clear the work area of bystanders before each use. Store powder loads in a cool, dry location away from heat sources and open flame.
