Direct Fastening Technology

What is Direct Fastening?

Direct fastening involves driving collated nails directly into concrete or other hard surfaces, such as steel, without the need for pre-drilling. This process is executed using power tools known as setting tools or concrete nailers. In the field of electrical installations, both gas- and battery-actuated tools are commonly used.

Advantages of Direct Fastening:

  • Cost Efficiency: Significant time savings reduce overall installation costs especially in large-scale projects
  • Effortless Operation: Minimizes physical strain during installation.
  • Dust Reduction: Prevents the creation of excessive dust
 

Don Quichotte DUO-Fixx Portfolio

With the DUO-Fixx portfolio, Don Quichotte offers fastening solutions that can be installed either conventionally with screws and plugs or by direct fastening using concrete nailers / setting tools, depending on the construction site situation. This provides a high level of flexibility for changing substrates, installation conditions and application scenarios.

  • More flexibility on site: Depending on the substrate and the specific situation, the most suitable fastening method can be chosen directly on site from both a technical and economic perspective.
  • Less inventory effort: Instead of stocking two different items for two fastening methods, one DUO-Fixx item is sufficient.
 

Cable clamp KKS DUO

  • Dual Fastening Options: With its two mounting holes, the KKS supports both conventional fastening methods (using plugs and screws) as well as direct fastening with a setting tool.

  • Compatibility: The design of the holder’s opening in combination with the tool nose is critical for ensuring compatibility with various brands of setting tools. The KKS has been designed for using with common brands such as Spit, Bosch or Fischer (Tool nose with outer-Ø of 11mm).
  • Ease of Installation: The KKS allows for single-handed mounting on walls or ceilings, improving efficiency on-site. Additionally, the design enables size-independent combination of cable holders, enhancing flexibility during installation.
 

Pressure clip KKB DUO

  • Optimized geometry: Specially developed for the combination of screw fixing and direct fastening, the KKB DUO allows both conventional fastening methods (screws Ø4 mm) and direct fastening using a concrete nailer / setting tool. This means that the fastening method can be selected on site depending on the substrate.

  • Compatibility: The KKB has been designed for using with common brands such as Spit, Bosch or Fischer (Tool nose with outer-Ø of 11mm).
  • Reliability: Guarantees secure fastening for various applications, tailored to meet the needs of modern electrical installations.
