What is the difference between HY100 and HY270? I see that HY100 gives more capacity. Is it as available? Are there any issues that we should look out for?
Hi Abed,
Hilti's HIT-HY 100 and HIT-HY 270 are readily available adhesives. The Hilti Adhesive Anchor Selector and PROFIS Engineering are helpful resources to compare the anchors. A key difference between HIT-HY 100 and HIT-HY 270 is the base materials that the adhesives are approved for.
HIT-HY 100 approval documents: IAPMO ER-547 in fully grouted CMU and ICC ESR-3574 in concrete.
HIT-HY 270 approval documents: ICC ESR-4144 in Unreinforced Masonry and ICC ESR-4143 in hollow and fully grouted CMU & hollow brick masonry walls.
Best,
Sam
Hi Bruce,
The HIT-HY 270 is Hilti's masonry specific adhesive, where as HIT-HY 100 is an economical concrete adhesive that has additional testing for grout-filled CMU. The load capacities come down to performance during testing, as well as critical spacing and edge distance considerations. It can be possible for a cheaper anchor to perform better under certain conditions.

Dani
