Hi Terry,

Each Hilti product is going to have its own unique capacity limits as well as installation parameters. It may be possible to use Hilti power-actuated fasteners for your application depending on the applied loads and concrete conditions. Technical information can be found in the Hilti Direct Fastening Technical Guide. A fastener selection chart begins on page 26. Allowable loads into concrete for power-actuated fasteners can be found on page 31. Info on fastening into concrete starts on page 19.

Best,
Emily
