An attachment plate is used to attach insulation panels to building substrates using internal combustion cordless nail setting tools loaded with collating strips for feeding and holding nails in the tool magazine. The attachment plate has a washer and an annular chamber at a first end. A wall of the annular chamber is defined by a band of fingers. The interior of the attachment plate has a recess. The attachment plate second end has flexible tabs. The attachment plate is placed on a pilot and against a flange of a tool adapter. The attachment plate is pushed into the insulation panel such that the tool muzzle bends the fingers and passes through the same. When the tool is fired, a nail and nail collating ring are forced into and captured within the recess. The tabs bend against the substrate if the insulation panel is of less than nominal thickness.

An attachment plate for attaching an insulation panel to a substrate, comprising: a washer defining a central opening having a predetermined diametrical extent, and a longitudinal axis; a tubular member joined to said washer, extending concentrically along said longitudinal axis, and comprising a first section adjacent to said washer that includes an inner peripheral wall which defines a first inner diametrical extent which is of the same size as said diametrical extent of said washer central opening, said inner peripheral wall of said first section terminating in a first transverse surface; a second section adjacent to said first section and including an inner peripheral wall defining a second inner diametrical extent which is less than said first inner diametrical extent of said first section, said inner peripheral wall of said second section terminating in a second transverse surface that cooperates with said inner peripheral wall of said second section so as to define a recess for accommodating a head of a fastener which is adapted to be inserted into a substrate so as to secure an insulation panel to said substrate; and an end section adjacent to said second section and defining a passage therethrough for accommodating said fastener for securing said insulation panel to said substrate; and finger means, spaced radially inwardly from said inner peripheral wall of said first section and mounted upon said first transverse surface of said first section, for forming an annular chamber with said inner peripheral wall of said first section so as to accommodate a fastener setting tool for inserting said fastener through said insulation panel and into said substrate and for closing a central bore section of said tubular member of said attachment plate so that said head of said fastener is substantially covered.
