Ensure perfect anchor installation


2.8K

Safe Set™ Technology is the term used to indicate that a post-installed anchor is approved for installation using Hilti’s simplified installation procedures. Hilti‘s non-cleaning installation solution includes the use of HIT-Z Anchor Rods. Using this method, dust can be left in the anchor hole without impacting holding values.

Self-cleaning installation is as simple as it sounds. The installer uses a Hilti Hollow Drill Bit to drill the anchor hole with a VC 20/40 Vacuum Cleaner attachment. Using this method, the dust is sucked out of the hole during the drilling process, thereby eliminating the need for further cleaning.


Hilti’s new Roughening Tool allows HIT-RE 500 V3 epoxy anchor to be used in diamond cored holes in cracked. It also simplifies the hole cleaning process to three easy steps: roughen, flush, blow.
 
 
HIT-RE 500 V3
After providing outstanding anchoring performance for almost a decade, the adhesive anchor system HIT-RE 500 V3 just got better. Hilti SafeSet technology for HIT-RE 500 V3 has been expanded to include both Hilti hollow drill bit and the Hilti Roughening Tool.

Hollow Drill Bits TE-CD (SDS Plus) and TE-YD (SDS Max)
With the use of the TE-CD and TE-YD hollow drill bits and VC 20/40 vacuum, manual hole cleaning becomes completely unnecessary. Dust is removed by the Hilti VC 20/40 Vacuum System while drilling is in progress for faster drilling and a virtually dustless working environment.

Roughening Tool TE-YRT
Diamond coring in cracked concrete has not been approved with any epoxy anchor – until now. Hilti takes a revolutionary step forward with the new HIT-RE 500 V3 and TE-YRT Roughening Tool system. This solution is the only ICC-ES approved epoxy anchoring system in the industry and makes installation in core drilled holes easy, productive and reliable.

Hollow Drill Bits TE-CD (SDS Plus) and TE-YD (SDS Max)
Hilti Hollow Drill Bits make traditional hole-cleaning a thing of the past. Featuring SafeSet™ Technology, Hollow Drill Bits allow you to vacuum dust as you drill, resulting in up to 60% more productivity when installing HIT-HY 200. Hilti’s innovative new system helps make rebar doweling and adhesive anchor installation faster and more reliable by removing the need to manually clean the hole before installing your adhesive anchor.

HIT-Z Anchor Rods
Hilti HIT-Z Anchor rod with its cone-shaped helix works as a torque-controlled bonded anchor. Because of their shape, HIT-Z Anchor Rods, when used with HIT-HY 200, do not require hole cleaning for hammer-drilled holes in dry or water saturated concrete in base materials above 41° F (5° C). The benefits are clear: fewer steps and extremely high reliability in anchoring applications.

To assist you in designing with these various anchoring solutions, Hilti offers best-in-class design software, PROFIS Engineering. Hilti PROFIS Engineering is comprehensive design software for anchor design in concrete, masonry, and concrete-over-metal-deck base materials and includes a versatile load engine and various options for base plate analysis.
