We have a building that wont permit PVC at all , not even the riser fthrough the slab. we have to install 2 x floor wastes open ended flush at floor level above and maintain metallic pipework throughout. is there a solution for copper, stainless steel or cast iron finished flush with the slab on the top side?

I am installing a floating shelf on a wall in my home. Our concept for the support is for a hidden 'L' bracket fixed to the brick wall. Brick type is a Maxi brick (305x162x90). I can't seem to find any data for the load capacity of your masonry chemical anchors for fixing to a 90mm thick wall. I have calculated the working loa...

We are looking for the design capacity and the working load limit (WLL) and what we should proof load the anchors to and the methodology for that? We have been asked by our client to undertake testing of 1 in every 50 chemically set M12 anchors on a project - estimate is 40 to 50 pull tests. We are thinking 30 second hold at...

How would I go about assessing the anchors in profis where I have the base plate sitting on top of a 100mm tall concrete plinth with about 20mm levelling grout? Would I use the standoff option 'stand-off with grouting' and input the distance as 120mm?

I was trying to apply reinforcement to concrete but to my surprise even after applying it, the results were same as for without reinforcement.

Hi Could I please get advise on the reduced design capacity for threaded rod anchors closer than the minimum spacing stipulated in the manual and software? I have an application that requires 4-M20 HAS-U + Hit-RE 500 V4 anchors at 78 mm (refer attached) which is less than the minimum 90 mm specified in the handbook. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to know if I can have the Hilti Anchor bolt and chemical bolt catalogue which allows the hand calculation method to find the design capacity of various anchors. Thanks, Frankie

In accordance with AS3850.1, screw bolts are not permitted for propping anchors. Based on the Hilti information of HUS4-H screw anchor stated applications can be tilt up connectors. Is the HUS4-H anchor a deformation-controlled anchor or a screw bolt? And is it or is it not restricted per AS3850.1?

Hello I am currently specifying Hilti fixing discs for use in fastening down galvanised steel grid mesh panels. I am intending to specify the X-FCM-F fastening disc and X-ST-GR M8 stud as I am fixing into 11mm thick steel. I have chosen these parts as per the data sheet and I was just curious if there is going to be any issue ...
