The Hilti XG-W6 Gas-Actuated Stud Fastener is specifically designed for light
duty, redundant, non-approval relevant fastening applications including attaching
small electrical components (e.g. electrical junction boxes, switches and outlets)
to concrete, steel and masonry base materials. The fastener is installed with the
innovative Hilti GX 120-ME gas-actuated tool.

1 In order to use the threaded studs a single fastener adapter must be attached to the magazine (Reference Figure below).
Single Fastener Adapter for GX 120-ME
Proper installation of Single Fastener Adapter
Once Single Fastener Adapter is installed, the fastener is inserted into the nose-piece of the tool. The tool and inserted fastener
are then compressed against the base material and the trigger is pulled.
