2.0 USES
The Hilti Low-velocity Power-Actuated Driven Threaded
Studs are used as alternatives to the welds and bolts used
to attach materials to structural steel, which are described
in IBC Sections 2204.1 and 2204.2, respectively. The
fasteners may be used for structures regulated under the
IRC, when an engineered design is submitted in
accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3.
3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 General:
Hilti low-velocity power-actuated threaded studs are
fasteners with male threads for attachment of building
materials on one end and a pointed- or blunt-tip shank on
the other end for embedment into the supporting steel. The
threaded studs are available with the thread designations,
shank diameters, lengths and materials shown in Table 1.
3.1.1 X-EW6H and X-EW10H Threaded Studs: These
pointed-tip studs are formed from carbon steel, hardened
in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, and
zinc-plated in accordance with ASTM B633 SC 1, Type III.
These studs are supplied with a plastic washer. See Figure
1 for a depiction of the fasteners.
3.1.2 X-ST-GR M8 Threaded Studs:
These pointed-tip
studs consist of a threaded sleeve and a drive pin. The
threaded sleeve is manufactured from SAE 316 stainless
steel. These studs are supplied with plastic washers.
The drive pin is manufactured from stainless steel
conforming to specifications in the manufacturer’s quality
documentation. See Figure 2 for a depiction of the
fastener.
3.1.3 X-BT Blunt-tip Threaded Studs:
3.1.3.1 X-BT M8, X-BT W10 and X-BT M10: These blunt-
tip studs consist of a threaded sleeve and a drive pin, and
may have a stainless steel/bonded elastomer sealing
washer, designated SN12-R. The threaded sleeve and
washer are manufactured from SAE 316 stainless steel.
The drive pin is manufactured from a proprietary CrNiMo
alloy complying with the requirements of SAE 316. See
Figure 3 for a depiction of the fasteners.
3.1.3.2 X-BT M6 and X-BT W6:
These blunt-tip studs are
formed as a single piece from a proprietary CrNiMo alloy
complying with the requirements of SAE 316 stainless
steel, and have a stainless steel/bonded elastomer sealing
washer designated SN12-R. See Figure 4 for a depiction of
the fasteners.
3.1.4 X-BT-MF: These blunt-tip studs consist of a
threaded sleeve and a drive pin, and have a combination
stainless steel/bonded elastomer sealing washer
designated SN4. They are also supplied with a plastic nut
or a stainless steel nut. The drive pin is manufactured from
a proprietary stainless steel conforming to specifications in
the manufacturer’s quality documentation. The threaded
sleeve is manufactured from glass-fiber-reinforced
polyamide material. See Figure 5 for a depiction of the
fasteners.
3.1.5 X-BT-MR and X-BT-GR: These blunt-tip studs are
formed as a single piece from a proprietary CrNiMo alloy
complying with the requirements of SAE 316 stainless
steel, and have a stainless steel/bonded elastomer sealing
washer. The blunt tip is slightly tapered. See Figures 6 and
7 for depictions of the fasteners.
3.2 Steel Substrates:
Structural steel must comply with the minimum
requirements of ASTM A36, ASTM A572 Grade 50 or
ASTM A992, and must have the minimum thicknesses,
