Is the HBI Heavy-duty anchor HBI M14x115 #3556279 actually available? And when will it be included in the Profis options?
Hello,
Thank you for your question, the HBI is definitely available for Hilti Australia to purchase and use on your projects.
Including the HBI in PROFIS however, is not planned. The reason being, the HBI is not an ETA based anchor for AS5216 calculations and follows the tests per AS3850.1 for propping of precast concrete elements. This gives us the working load limits to reference on the product brochure and the use conditions, rather than having to follow the failure mode calculations in AS5216.
