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
