What is Gas Nailing - Insulation?
Gas Nailing is method of fixing where a nail is shot using a gas and battery powered tool. The nail is shot into the base material, and the power generated by the firing action forces the fixing into the base material.
This system offers the user a fast, reliable, and cost-efficient method of fixing. It also caters to a broad range of applications, across a wide range of trades.
The variety of nails in this system range from 25mm to 130mm in length, with clear, black and grey options available. The required fixing correlates with the thickness of insulation board being used. The ICCONS Gas Insulation System is approved with various insulation panels including Kingspan. The number of fixings required, and the fixing pattern may differ between suppliers, so it is important to also check the insulation supplier’s installation data.
The most common applications for Gas Insulation is fixing insulation panels into concrete.
How does gas nailing work?
A gas nailing system is operated using a Gas Fuel cell in combination with a battery cell. Once the appropriate tool has been loaded with both the gas cell and battery, the required length insulation pin is selected. This is based on the thickness of the insulation board being used. It is also important to select the correct barrel length for the appropriate range of insulation washer being used.
Once the correct insulation pin and barrel has been selected, the pin is placed onto the nose piece of the tool. This is then depressed through the insulation panel, or pre-bored hole. The nose piece is depressed against the base material, and trigger is pulled. It is important to keep the nose piece at 90 degrees to avoid any fish hooking when shooting the nail.
When the nose piece is depressed, a small amount of gas enters the tools combustion chamber. When the user pulls the trigger, a small spark ignited the gas inside the chamber and forces the firing piston to strike the nails, which then leave the tool via the nose piece and forced into the base material.
Once this firing action is completed, which is within seconds, a fan inside the tool causes an exhaust vacuum and draws the firing piston back into its firing position, for the process to be repeated ongoing at the user’s requirements.

How to use Gas Insulation
- Ensure all required PPE is used as per operations manual.
- Install battery into the tool ensuring battery has sufficient charge.
- Install GT-IXF-24 gas cell into the tool.
- Slide the correct insulation barrel into the front of the gas tool ensuring the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position.
- Once barrel is inserted Slide the locking mechanism into the locked position. You should hear “click”.
- Insert the required insulation fastener into the barrel until it reaches the tip of the fastener guide.
- Press the tool with the insulation fastener through the insulation material or pre-bored hole.
- Press the nose piece of the tool against the working surface ensuring it is at 90 degrees.
- Pull the trigger of the tool.
- Repeat the above process for the required numbers of fixings.
