2.0 USES

Hilti X-DR, X-DR MX and X-HS low-velocity, power-

actuated, rod hanger assemblies and the X-MW ALH and X-

MW MX low velocity, power-actuated wire hanger

assemblies are used as alternatives to the cast-in-place

anchors described in IBC Section 1901.3 (2012 IBC Section

1908; 2009 IBC Section 1911) for placement in concrete,

and the welds and bolts used to attach materials to steel,

described in IBC Sections 2204.1 and 2204.2, respectively.

The rod hanger assemblies are used to connect smooth and

threaded steel rods to the supporting material. The wire

hanger assemblies are used to connect wire to the

supporting material. For structures regulated under the IRC,

the rod and wire hanger assemblies may be used where an

engineered design is submitted in accordance with IRC

Section R301.1.3.

3.0 DESCRIPTION

3.1 X-DR Rod Hanger Assemblies:

The Hilti X-DR rod hanger assembly is intended to resist

tension loads only. The assembly consists of an X-ALH low

velocity, power-actuated fastener with a premounted steel

angle/coupler/rod assembly. The Hilti X-DR rod hanger is

available in two assemblies, X-DR ALH22 and

X-DR ALH27, for which Hilti X-ALH22 and X-ALH27

fasteners are used, respectively. See Figure 1 for an

illustration of the X-DR rod hanger assembly.

3.1.1 Fastener: The X-ALH fastener is formed from carbon

steel and is heat-treated to a nominal core hardness of 58

HRC. The fastener has a smooth tapered shank, with a

nominal diameter beyond the taper of

0.177 inch and a head diameter of 0.322 inch. The shank

length is 0.87 inch (22mm) for the X-ALH22 fastener and

1.06 inch (27 mm) for the X-ALH27 fastener. The fastener

has a zinc coating and is assembled with a plastic washer.

3.1.2 Angle: The steel angle is manufactured from zinc-

coated cold-formed steel complying with Hilti’s

specifications.

3.1.3 Rivet and Coupler: The galvanized steel rivet is

used to attach the galvanized steel coupler to the angle. The

galvanized steel coupler has an internal threaded hole of

inch-diameter (6.4 mm) to accommodate connection of a

rod.

3.1.4 Rods: The rods are galvanized steel. Smooth rods

with a threaded end and threaded rods of various lengths

are available. The smooth rods have a nominal diameter of

0.215 inch (5.45 mm) and a minimum tensile strength of

87 ksi (600MPa). The threaded rods have a 1/4-20 UNC-2A

thread and a minimum tensile strength of 87 ksi (600MPa).

The rods are supplied with a plastic cap at the unconnected

end.

3.2 X-DR MX Assembly:

The Hilti X-DR MX rod hanger assemblies are intended to

resist tension loads only. Each assembly consist of a steel

bracket, coupler and rod. The assemblies are installed in the

field with Hilti X-S 14 B3 or X-P 20 B3 fasteners (addressed

in ESR-1752

). See Figure 2 for an illustration of the X-DR

MX rod hanger assembly.

3.2.1 Bracket: The steel bracket is manufactured from

zinc-coated cold-formed steel complying with Hilti’s

specifications. The steel is bent to produce a uniquely

shaped bracket. The long leg of the bracket has a hole with

a nominal diameter of 0.169 inch (4.3 mm) to accommodate

the field installed power-actuated fastener.

3.2.2 Rivet and Coupler: The galvanized steel rivet is
