Installation Typicals - Fastening on Steel Threaded Studs
Application
• Fastening of junction boxes, switches on a vertical structure
• Element is fastened by X-BT-MR
Boundary conditions
• These values are ONLY reflecting capacity of X-BT-MR threaded stud.
Structural analysis of support / structure is NOT in Hilti scope. See the detailed
statements in disclaimer — 2018/05/04
• Technical data are based on technical data binder for X-BT-MR (06 / 2018),
always refer to latest technical data binder for X-BT-MR
Conditions for recommended loads
• Global factor of safety for static pull-out > 3 (based on 5% fractile value),
≥ 5 (based on mean value)
• Minimum edge distance = 6 mm [¼"]
• Effect of base metal vibration and stress considered
• Redundancy (multiple fastening) must be provided
• Recommended loads in the table refer to the resistance of the individual
fastening and may not be the same as the loads F
N
and F
V
acting on the
fastened part
Note: if relevant, prying forces need to be considered in design, see example.
Moment acting on fastener shank only in case of a gap between base and
fastened material.
