Is it possible to get design data for "obsolete" Hilti anchors (e.g., Hilti KB TZ, as opposed to TZ2) for use in Hilti Profis) to review slightly aged installations.

Can you please provide a detail on how to properly fire rate insulated (example 65mm thickness) System 15 PVC, with metal sleeve through concrete and gypsum

Is it possible to do epoxy anchors in a hollow masonry wall?

We need to anchor into concrete with an anchor (drop in style) that can be removed and reinstalled a number of times.

I am looking for anchorage I can use for small mechanical equipment on top of an existing pan joist building. The slabs are as thin as 2 1/2" to 3" in some locations. Can you recommend and anchor that can be used in thin substrate in SDC D?

The Load Capacities listed for Tension and Shear include a reduced capacity if the installation is located in a bed joint. However, Footnote 4, suggests that the anchor is not permitted in mortar joints, flange or cell web. I always thought of a bed joint as being a mortar joint as well. Can you please provide a graphic of ...

Is there a way to create a custom profile not listed in the standards?

I'm wondering if Hilti is doing the calculations incorrectly for the concrete breakout strength of anchors in shear. If an anchor group close to an edge is subject to a shear load in one direction only, PROFIS seems to apply the psi_parallel factor correctly depending whether the shear force is perpendicular or parallel to the...

We have a 1HR rated fire barrier room, one of the walls that terminates above the ceiling, makes it is almost impossible to sheetrock and fire stop with all the mechanical devices above the grid. we are looking to see if we can remove existing ceiling tiles and add 1 HR rated ceiling tiles to make the room compliant.

Looking to make a connection to a manufactured soft stone wall. Can we use Wedge Anchors or Expansion anchors? Or do we have to epoxy a rod into the stone? Any other options? Thank you
