Bosch Masonry Concrete Nails NM-050 1/2 Inch Track Fasteners (Plastic Collated 1000 Pack Zinc Plated Steel Framing GNB18V-12 Cordless Nailer)

Bosch NM-050 1/2" Zinc-Plated Smooth Shank Plastic Collated Masonry Nails (1,000-Pack)

The Bosch NM-050 1/2-inch zinc-plated smooth shank masonry nails fasten cold-formed drywall metal tracks, electrical conduit brackets, and mechanical utility clips directly into structural steel framing and dense concrete substrates. Engineered from high-tensile ballistic carbon steel with an electro-galvanized zinc protective barrier, these plastic-collated strip pins feed continuously through the Bosch GNB18V-12 cordless 18V concrete nailer without powder actuation charges or aerosol gas fuel cells. Featuring official ICC-ES building code compliance, a heavy 2-gauge ballistic shank diameter, and 1,000 pins per contractor pack, they deliver verified structural pull-out resistance and rapid cyclic installation for commercial drywall and MEP framing contractors.

Best Used For:

• Commercial Steel Track to Structural Beam Pinning: Fastening 20-gauge to 16-gauge perimeter metal drywall tracks securely into structural steel I-beams, columns, and metal decking.
• Electrical Junction Box and Conduit Strap Fastening: Nailing EMT conduit clips, bridal rings, and electrical utility boxes firmly to dense pre-cast concrete or structural steel.
• Mechanical Plumbing and Suspension Bracket Anchoring: Securing water pipe isolators, ductwork suspension straps, and acoustic ceiling clips without pre-drilling anchor holes.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Official ICC-ES Building Code Certification: Tested and code-approved for use with the Bosch GNB18V-12 cordless nailer to satisfy structural inspection and load requirements.
• Corrosion-Resistant Zinc Plating: Electro-galvanized protective finish prevents oxidation, rust staining, and chemical deterioration in interior commercial environments.
• High-Speed Plastic Strip Collation: Durable plastic carrier strips ensure smooth cyclic feeding and jam-free cycling in 22-shot standard and 44-shot high-capacity nail magazines.
• Ballistic Smooth Shank Geometry: High-hardness ballistic point profile pierces hard structural steel and high-PSI concrete cleanly without mushrooming or fracturing.
• Gas-Free Mechanical Direct Drive: Optimized specifically for cordless battery fly-wheel drive systems, eliminating expensive powder loads and aerosol fuel cells from the jobsite.
• High-Volume 1,000-Count Contractor Box: Maximizes continuous production time on large-scale commercial framing jobs with fewer packaging changeouts.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Adjust the drive depth adjustment dial on your Bosch GNB18V-12 nailer before pinning into structural steel; calibrating depth prevents over-driving the pin head and ensures maximum clamping tension on thin metal tracks.
