3.5.2. X-HSN 24 FOR FASTENING DECK TO BAR JOIST
3.5.2.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Hilti bar joist deck fastening system consists of powder-actuated tools
that are primarily used with the X-HSN 24 fasteners, which are available in a
collated version.
For many bar joist decking projects, the tool of choice is the DX 9-HSN tool.
This self-contained stand up decking tool is powered by 0.27 caliber short
cartridges, which are loaded into the tool in strips of 40. The cartridges
drive the X-HSN 24 fasteners into almost any type of steel deck profile and
base steel thicknesses of 1/8″ to 3/8″. These fasteners are available in
collated strips of 10. Four of these strips are loaded into the DX 9-HSN tool,
along with the cartridge strip, and enable the operator to fasten at a rate of
up to 1,000 quality
fastenings per hour. Additionally, this tool offers punch through resistance
in cases where the base material is inadvertently missed.
Other tools include the hand held DX 5-SM, a semi-automatic magazine tool for
use on smaller jobs or in tandem with the DX 9-HSN.
Hilti X-HSN 24 steel deck fasteners comply with ANSI/SDI RD1.0, C1.0 and NC1.0
standards.

- For base steel thickness 1/8″ (3 mm) to 3/8″ (10 mm).
- Allowable values are based on a safety factor of 3.0.
- Loads based on ASTM A1008, or minimum ASTM A653 SQ33 steel deck.
Allowable Stress Design (ASD) – Allowable diaphragm shears, SASD , (plf) and stiffness factors, G’, (kips/in.) for standard 1-1/2″ deep flutes, 6″ center- to-center steel deck (Fy ≥ 50 ksi; Fu ≥ 65 ksi) installed with Hilti X-HSN 24 fasteners with 36/11 or 36/9 end and interior support fastener patterns 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
- Tabulated diaphragm shear values are for attachment of steel deck to base steel thicknesses 3/16″ ≤ tf ≤3/8″.Forattachmenttobasesteelwithrange1/8″≤tf < 3/16″, diaphragm shear values shouldbecalculatedinaccordancewithSection3.5.1.7with,orbyusingHiltiProfisDFsoftware.
- Tabulated ASD diaphragm shear loads are calculated with a safety factor (Ω) of 2.00 for wind loads. To calculate ASD values for load combinations involving earthquake, multiply Sasd values in table by 2.00 and divide by a safety factor (Ω) of 2.30. Panel buckling has been checked.
- At diaphragm perimeter, Hilti frame fasteners should be spaced at identical spacing as sidelap connectors.
- Interpolation of diaphragm shear strength values is allowed between span dimensions, sidelap spacings and deck gauge. Alternatively, use calculations as discussed in Section 3.5.1.7 to determine diaphragm shear capacities directly.
- To convert from sidelaps per span (SPS) to sidelap spacing (SS), use the following formula: SS, in. ((span,ft) x 12)/(SPS).
- For 16 gauge steel deck or for high tensile strength (Fu > 65 ksi) 18 gauge steel deck, use S-SLC 02 M HWH. For more information on Hilti Sidelap Connectors refer to Section 3.5.6.
- For diaphragm shear load values using Hilti #10 HWH screws, use the Hilti Profis DF Diaphragm software or contact Hilti at 877-749-6337 or deck@hilti.com.
