Has Hilti performed any pullout tests for anchors in the old clay tile floor systems? Architects and mechanicals always want to hang from the clay tile

Dave:

Unfortunately Hilti does not have any published test values for our anchors in clay tile due to the variability that may exist due to local materials, age of the structure, anchor location, etc. If possible, the anchor/s to be considered should be tested to failure in the same or similar base materials to provide sufficient data upon which to make an analysis. Typically our HIT-HY 70 Adhesive Anchor system is considered for connections to clay tile.

Randy
