KB TZ2 ESR 4266 Torque values
Can the listed torque values in ESR 4266 be exceeded and by how much to use the listed values in the report.
Thanks, Kirk Smith

Hi Kirk,
Expansion anchors, such as the Kwik Bolt TZ2, rely on torque to expand wedges to ensure expected capacities are met. Hilti does not have any data on over-torqued installation.
An article that discusses the importance of torque on the installation and performance of torque-controlled expansion anchors installed into concrete can be found here.
All the best,
Sinan
