Product Information

Full details

This Fischer nail and fuel pack is designed for professionals and serious DIYers undertaking first-fix framing projects, offering a convenient supply of two common nail sizes and a fuel cell for gas nail guns. Its key benefit is the inclusion of double galvanised nails for enhanced corrosion resistance, suitable for protected internal and external use. A potential caveat is the specific compatibility requirement for 34-degree clipped-head nails and fuel cells.

FAQs

What type of nail gun is compatible with this pack?

This pack is compatible with all standard first-fix nail guns that accept 34-degree clipped-head nails. The included fuel cell is compatible with all Fischer gas nailers.

Can I use these nails for exterior applications?

Yes, the double galvanised finish provides corrosion resistance suitable for *protected* internal and external use, compliant with Eurocode 5 standards. They are not recommended for direct, prolonged exposure to weather elements.

What is the shelf life of the fuel cell?

The fuel cell has a shelf life of up to 24 months from the date of manufacture, provided it is stored correctly.

How cold can it get before the fuel cell performance is affected?

The fuel cell is designed to operate effectively in temperatures as low as -15°C.

Are both nail sizes the same type?

Yes, both the 90mm and 51mm nails are galvanised smooth nails with paper tape collation.

What does 'clipped-head' mean for the nails?

'Clipped-head' refers to the shape of the nail head, which is slightly flattened on one side to allow for a denser pattern in the nail collation. This is a standard for many framing nailers.

What is the weight of this pack?

The total weight of the Fischer 550 Double Galvanised Nail & Gas Fuel Pack is 4.4 kg.

Troubleshooting

Nail gun not firing.

Check that the fuel cell is properly inserted and has fuel. Ensure nails are loaded correctly and the magazine is not empty. Verify the nail gun's safety features are disengaged and it is making contact with the work surface.

Nails not fully driving.

Increase the depth adjustment setting on your nail gun. Check fuel cell level; a low fuel level can reduce driving power. Ensure you are using the correct nail length for the material thickness.

Nail collation jamming.

Ensure you are using the correct collation type (paper tape) for your nail gun. Inspect the nail magazine for obstructions or damage. Clean the nail gun's feeding mechanism as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Corrosion on nails after use.

This product is designed for protected internal and external use. Ensure the environment where nails are used is not subject to direct moisture or harsh elements. For exposed applications, consider stainless steel or specially coated fasteners.
