Are you able to advise whether the HIS-N anchors with HIT adhesive can be used in Isocrete K screed HDP? https://www.flowcrete.eu/en-gb/products-systems/product-finder/isocrete-k-screed/ Many thanks, Laurence

We are carrying out a shear check on shear plates which are fixed into hollow clay brick. The check fails in brick edge failure. Do you have calculations to show the workings out for the checks on hilti profis? There is very little guidance in the eurocodes and we could do with more confidence when issuing documents

We need to fix a 120 minutes fire resistant duct work using HIT-RE 500 V4 INJECTION MORTAR. Duct work is weghting 95 kg per linear meter and I would like to get a spec on this weight and if the injection can withold the fire rating as well . Fixing will be from the soffit .

Hi Hilti, Is it possible to increase the number of anchors in the masonry module past 4? I can only add the standard anchor layout, is it possible to change this? Thanks in advance.

We are looking to install steel baseplates for a project which is approx. 150m from the coast. We would usually use a HVU2 capsule with either M16 or M20 HAS 5.8 anchor rod or HAS A4 depending on location. The project we are working on the client wants the anchors bolts to be removeable as they will need to move the baseplate...

When drilling and fixing the holding down bolts for a Hilti bracket supporting some cable baskets, a small void became apparent. Can I confirm what fixings are available to be able to overcome this?

How should the serrated washers be considered in the stand-off input? Is the standoff application point half of the baseplate section or at the half thickness of the serrated washer, where the forces are transferred to the anchor?

When a stand-off with grouting installation is considered, with a strong grouting, does this mean that the grouting is used for levelling? If the grouting is not used for levelling but the member is levelled using levelling nuts but the gap is grouted at a later time, can this be considered to be a stand-off with grouting cond...

I am exploring fixing large scale artwork (20mx20m) to an existing pre-cast concrete facade. The pre-cast concrete is 200mm thick. The artwork is temporary but the fixings need to stay in place as the art is likely to be removed, then replaced/refreshed. Ideally the fixings would be invisible when the art was removed, the pre-...

Please specify a bolt type to resist a pull out force of 1.35kn in a 340mm thick brick wall constructed in lime-based mortar
