Do you have a shot in pin that is rated for seismic shear loads?
This is for a steel stud framing system that is resisting the lateral seismic loading of a HVAC duct.

Hi Tim,
Information on the seismic considerations for a specific power-actuated fastener can be found within the Evaluation Service Report (ESR) for that specific pin. Additional information on seismic design with PAFs can be found in section 2.4 of Hilti's Direct Fastening Technical Guide here.
If you have any further questions, please reach out to our technical services team at hnatechnicalservices@hilti.com.
Best,
Mia
