Fixture hole diameter
Do all KH-EZ screw anchors require a welded washer plate or other means to transfer shear (not through bearing) to the fixture since the required fixture hole diameter is 1/8" larger (oversized) than the anchor diameter ?
Applicable to other post-installed anchors that require an oversized fixture hole.

Hi Kevin,
An additional washer is not required to transfer shear loads with the KH-EZ. In general, the supportive testing for Hilti's post-installed anchors is based on the use of the hardware included with each anchor. The decision to add or substitute hardware will ultimately be at the discretion of the engineer on the project.
Regards,
Matthew
