Carlisle Polymer GypTec Fasteners 3 in. to 10 in. Glass-Filled Nylon Insulation Fasteners
Carlisle Polymer GypTec Fasteners are glass-filled nylon auger fasteners with a 1 in. head, made to secure insulation and single-ply membrane to gypsum and cementitious wood fiber decks. This page offers 3 in. to 10 in. lengths in cartons of 250 or 500. A 1/4 in. square drive enables fast installation, and lengths pair with deck and insulation thicknesses per the project spec.
Key Features:
- Glass-Filled Nylon: Made from glass-filled nylon for high tensile strength with no corrosion, thermal bridging, or condensation.
- Buttress Threads: Wide buttress thread design delivers excellent pull-out resistance.
- Auger Point: Auger design penetrates gypsum and cementitious wood fiber decks.
- 1 in. Head: 1 in. (25 mm) head with tabs that lock the plate to the fastener head.
- Square Drive: Internal 1/4 in. (6 mm) square drive ensures fast, easy installation.
- Length Range: Available in 2-1/2 in. to 12 in. (60 to 305 mm) lengths; this page lists 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 6.5, 8, 9, and 10 in.
- FM Approved: FM approved for insulation attachment.

Coverage & How Much You Need:
Coverage depends on the insulation fastening pattern per the roof design. Common practice is one fastener per specified square footage of insulation board, so calculate carton counts from board size and fastener density specified for the wind zone.
Fit and Compatibility:
Designed for gypsum and cementitious wood fiber decks under Carlisle single-ply membrane and insulation systems. Compatible plates lock onto the 1 in. head via the fastener tabs; plates are specified and ordered separately per the system.

Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
On gypsum and wood fiber decks, polymer fasteners avoid the corrosion and thermal bridging risks of steel. Match the fastener length to insulation thickness plus required embedment into the deck. The tab-lock head keeps plates seated during installation, which speeds up large insulation passes.
Use the correct 1/4 in. square drive bit and depth-controlled tooling; wear eye protection when driving fasteners.
Choose Carlisle Polymer GypTec Fasteners in the length your deck and insulation stack require.
