FASTENERS

1.0 EVALUATION SCOPE

Compliance with the following codes:

 2021, 2018, 2015 and 2012 International Building Code

(IBC)

 2021, 2018, 2015 and 2012 International Residential

2.0 USES

Hilti low-velocity power-actuated fasteners (PAFs) are used

to attach wood, cold-formed steel, and other

building elements to base materials of normalweight and

sand-lightweight concrete, steel deck panels filled with

sand-lightweight concrete, concrete masonry and steel

base materials. The fasteners are alternatives to the

cast-in-place anchors described in IBC Section 1901.3

(2012 IBC Section 1908) for placement in concrete; the

embedded anchors described in Section 8.1.3 of TMS 402,

referenced in Section 2107 of the IBC ( Section 2.1.4 of TMS

402-11, referenced in Section 2107 of the 2012 IBC) for

placement in masonry; and the welds and bolts used to

attach materials to steel, described in IBC Sections 2204.1

and 2204.2, respectively. For structures regulated under the

IRC, the fasteners may be used where an engineered

design is submitted in accordance with IRC Section

R301.1.3.

3.0 DESCRIPTION

3.1 Fasteners:

The Hilti low-velocity power-actuated fasteners are

manufactured from hardened steel complying with the

material specifications in the manufacturer’s quality

documentation. See Table 1 for fastener descriptions,

including shank type and diameter, head diameter, coating

and applicable allowable load tables. See Figure 1 for

fastener images. Maximum point length is the maximum

specified length from the tip of the fastener to the location

where the diameter of the shank becomes constant.

Minimum effective shank length is the minimum specified

length from the underside of the fastener head to the tip of

the fastener, except for fasteners with premounted washers,

where the minimum effective shank length is the minimum

specified length from the underside of the washer, in its

installed condition, to the tip of the fastener.

3.2 Substrate Materials:

3.2.1 Concrete: Normalweight and sand-lightweight

concrete must comply with IBC Chapter 19 or IRC

Section R402.2, as applicable. The minimum concrete

compressive strength at the time of fastener installation

must be as noted in Table 4.

3.2.2 Concrete Masonry: Concrete masonry units

(CMUs) must be minimum 8-inch-thick (203 mm),

normalweight blocks complying with ASTM C90. Mortar

must comply with ASTM C270, Type N. Grout must be
