Anchoring Installation Errors

Inadequate hole cleaning for conventional adhesives causes bond failure under load

Installing mechanical anchors in cracked concrete zones without proper ratings risks pull-out

Ignoring edge distance and spacing requirements causes concrete breakout failures

Using anchors without matching fire ratings compromises fire-rated assemblies

Failing to verify embedment depth results in reduced load capacity

HIT-HY 200: The Universal Adhesive

HIT-HY 200 hybrid adhesive handles conditions that defeat conventional products. Cracked concrete, wet holes, wide temperature ranges, and close edge distances - HIT-HY 200 maintains performance where competitors fail. The hybrid formulation combines the best properties of epoxy and urethane chemistry: high strength, reasonable cure time, and environmental tolerance. For specifiers facing uncertain field conditions, HIT-HY 200 provides confidence that anchors will perform regardless of what installers encounter.

Mechanical Anchors for Immediate Loading

When projects cannot wait for adhesive cure, Hilti mechanical anchors provide instant load capacity. The HSL-3 heavy-duty anchor uses force-controlled expansion for reliable pull-down without hole rotation. Installers know immediately when proper installation torque is reached. For structural connections requiring immediate loading - temporary works, fast-track construction, or situations where adhesive cure time is impractical - HSL-3 and other mechanical anchors deliver Hilti quality without waiting.

PROFIS Engineering: Design Automation

Complex anchor design involves dozens of variables: loads in multiple directions, concrete strength, edge distances, anchor spacing, and code requirements that vary by jurisdiction. PROFIS Engineering software automates this complexity, producing code-compliant designs with documentation for permit review. Cloud-based access means engineers work from any device with current approval data. The software does not replace engineering judgment but eliminates tedious calculations that slow design and introduce errors.

Code Compliance and Certification

Building codes require anchoring systems with tested and documented performance. Hilti maintains certifications including European Technical Approvals (ETA), ICC-ES evaluation reports, and regional approvals worldwide. This certification infrastructure represents significant ongoing investment in testing and documentation. For specifiers, it means Hilti anchors satisfy code requirements without additional testing or engineering justification. The documentation is available, current, and comprehensive.
