The TRUFAST Thermal-Grip® IP40D and IP50D tools are high-performance insulation fastening systems designed for rapid attachment of rigid insulation to concrete and masonry wall assemblies. Built for commercial wall applications, these gas-actuated fastening tools eliminate the need for pre-drilling, helping contractors install continuous insulation faster and more efficiently.
Fast, Efficient Insulation Attachment: The Thermal-Grip® fastening system is engineered for exterior wall insulation installations on:
- Concrete walls
- CMU block
- Masonry substrates
- Tilt-up concrete walls
- Precast wall systems
With a simple point-and-shoot operation, the IP40D and IP50D dramatically reduce labor time compared to traditional drilled fastening methods.
IP40D Insulation Fastening Tool (A-W-IP400)
- IP40D Low-to-mid PSI masonry CMU block and masonry 1″ to 4″
- The IP40D is optimized for lower-density masonry applications, while the IP50D delivers additional driving power for harder concrete substrates.
- Includes: two batteries, a charger, safety glasses, and a case.
- Use the Thermal-Grip Insulation Pins for steel, wood, or concrete
- Fuel Cell not included, can be purchased separately
IP50D Insulation Fastening Tool (A-W-IP500)
- IP50D Mid-to-high PSI concrete Dense concrete walls 1.5″ to 6.”
- The IP50D delivers additional driving power for harder concrete substrates, while the IP40D is optimized for lower-density masonry applications.
- Includes: two batteries, a charger, safety glasses, and a case.
- Use the Thermal-Grip Insulation Pins for steel, wood, or concrete
- Fuel Cell not included, can be purchased separately
Key Features
- No pre-drilling required
- Rapid point-and-shoot installation
- Attaches rigid insulation and mineral wool
- Lithium-ion battery powered
