Hi Rowan,
For anchor product selection help, please see Hilti’s Anchor Product Technical Guide from Hilti's website. Below are quick links to sections of the Tech Guide:
- Anchor Selection Chart on pages 4-7 - a helpful comparison of Hilti's anchors
- Section 3.3 Mechanical Anchoring Systems starting on page 261
- The most commonly considered expansion/wedge anchor is the Hilti Kwik Bolt TZ2 which has testing into grout-filled CMU
- Additionally, the Kwik Bolt 1 expansion anchor has testing into grout-filled CMU
Ultimately, all design decisions are at the discretion of the Engineer of Record (EOR) on the project.
Regards,
Emily
