SPITFIRE P370

Spitfire P370: Professional Automatic Powder-Actuated Fastening Tool for Concrete & Steel

The Spitfire P370 is a fully automatic, high-performance powder-actuated (PAT) fastening tool from Spit, designed for rapid and reliable fixing into demanding substrates such as concrete, steel, and masonry. As a market leader, the P370 is the professional's choice for efficiently installing a wide range of fixings, offering both magazine-fed and single-shot capabilities for versatility and speed on various construction and industrial applications.

Features

• Powerful Impact Force (350-360 Joules): Delivers substantial power to drive fasteners securely into hard materials like high-strength concrete and steel, ensuring strong and reliable fixings.
• Automatic Piston Return: Enables a high fixing rate of approximately 1 pin per second, significantly boosting productivity and reducing user fatigue during repetitive tasks.
• Magazine-Fed (10-pin strip) & Single-Shot Capability:
  • The standard P370 comes with a 10-pin magazine for collated fasteners, allowing for rapid, continuous firing without frequent reloading.
  • It also includes a single-shot adaptor, providing flexibility for individual fasteners or when working in tight spaces where the magazine might be cumbersome.
• Sequential Metal Disc System: Utilizes all-metal powder load discs (e.g., Brown, Green, Yellow, Red, Black for varying power levels). This system ensures consistent performance, prevents load wastage, and eliminates warping issues associated with plastic strip loads at high temperatures.
• Variable Power Adjustment: A simple, graduated wheel allows for quick and precise adjustment of the driving power. This versatility means one pin type and one load can be adapted to fix into different base materials, eliminating the need to change pistons.
• Universal Piston: Designed to work across various applications without needing to change the piston, simplifying operation and reducing downtime.
• Automatic Actuation & Safety: Requires approximately 17 kg of contact pressure to generate a shot, a critical safety feature to prevent accidental firing.
• Anti-Restart Function: A safety mechanism that prevents the tool from firing if it's unintentionally actuated when a new load is inserted (this feature is implicit in PAT tools where a deliberate act of pressure and firing sequence is required).
• Energy-Absorbing Bumper: Absorbs vibration and reduces recoil during firing, enhancing user comfort and control.
• Ergonomic Design with Soft Grip: Features an ergonomic soft-grip rear handle for comfortable operation, even allowing for one-handed use in certain situations.
• Adjustable Magazine (4-Point 360° Positioning): The magazine can be rotated and locked into four different positions (every 90 degrees), offering greater flexibility and accessibility when working in confined spaces or awkward angles.
• Easy On-Site Maintenance: Designed for quick and simple dismantling, cleaning, and reassembly without needing to be sent to a service centre, minimizing downtime.
• Reload Identification Marker: A visual indicator to inform the user when the magazine or single-shot chamber needs reloading.
• Comprehensive Kit: Typically supplied in a high-impact lightweight carry case, including a single-shot adaptor, safety goggles (EN166:B compliant), cleaning cloth, brushes, lubricating oil, push rod, and an instruction manual.

Applications

The Spitfire P370 is an indispensable tool for direct fixing into concrete, steel, and masonry across numerous construction and industrial applications:

• Drywall Track & Partitioning: Rapidly fixing dry lining tracks and deflection headers to concrete floors, ceilings, and steel frames.
• Timber Sole Plates: Securing timber sole plates to concrete slabs.
• Insulation Panels: Fixing rigid insulation to various substrates (often with specific insulation pins and adaptor kits).
• Steel Grating & Mesh: Attaching steel mesh, grilles, and light steel sections.
• Brick Ties: Fixing brick ties for masonry facade work.
• Formwork Spacers: Securing formwork elements.
• Electrical & Mechanical Services: Fixing cable trays, conduit clips, and pipework brackets directly to concrete or steel.
• Waterproofing Membranes: Attaching waterproof and drainage membranes.
• Composite Decking: Fixing composite decking to steel frames.
• Fire Protection Brackets: Installing brackets for passive fire protection systems.
