ASC Steel Deck Introduces DeltaGrip® DG4™ Tool
Kalama, WA - ASC Steel Deck, manufacturer of steel roof and floor deck, introduces a new structural sidelap connection system called the DeltaGrip® DG4™ Tool.
This tool builds upon ASC Steel Deck’s original DeltaGrip® system with added benefits, including higher connection strength, faster cycle times, and increased durability.
The new lightweight pneumatic tool utilizes a quadruple punch through three layers of steel to deliver a durable punch crimping action that interlocks the connection between deck panels at the sidelaps.
Compared to the previous DeltaGrip generation, the re-engineered DG4 Tool boosts connection strength by up to 26% and stiffness by up to 48%. The tool's optimized four-tooth punch and strengthened steel frame generate 35% more crimping force, amplifying
the punching forces to form a secure mechanical connection between panels. An end-of-cycle air dump valve reduces cycle times by 17% across all steel gauges. Upgraded components like braided air lines and a rugged handle further improve reliability
in the field.
The DeltaGrip DG4 Tool maintains the same pneumatic actuation as the original tool and is compatible with all ASC Steel Deck interlocking roof deck profiles.
"We are thrilled to introduce the DeltaGrip DG4 Tool as the new standard for the fastest and most cost-effective steel roof deck sidelap connection," said Dave Golden, ASC Steel Deck Sales Manager. "This latest innovation again confirms ASC Steel Deck’s
commitment to providing our customers and engineers with the latest tools and resources that maximize performance, durability, and safety."
To learn more about the DeltaGrip DG4 tool during the NCSEA Structural Engineering Summit in Anaheim, CA, November 8-9, ASC Steel Deck will be located at Booth 104 of the exhibit hall at the Disneyland Hotel. Or visit www.ascsd.com/products/dg4-tool.
