proper mixing of the adhesive components. Anchor rod shall be manufactured
to meet the following requirements: 1. ASTM A36 (standard carbon steel
anchor) 2. ISO 898 Class 5.8 3. ASTM A193 Grade B7 (Type 2) 4. AISI 304
or AISI 316 stainless steel meeting the mechanical requirements of
ASTM F-593 (Condition CW). 5. Rebar with chisel or cut point.
Special length HAS Rod materials may vary from standard product, but meet
or exceed the min. fu mechanical properties of HAS Rods.
Nuts and Washers—Shall be furnished to meet the requirements of the
above anchor rod specifications.
Adhesive Capsule—Shall consist of a dual chamber foil capsule. The resin
material shall be vinyl urethane methacrylate.
Steel Insert—The internally threaded insert shall have a 45 degree (from
central axis) chisel pointed end. The insert shall be carbon steel or stainless
steel material which meets minimum ultimate tensile strengths of 71 and 74
ksi, respectively.
The adhesive anchoring system shall be the Hilti HVA anchoring system,
consisting of the Hilti HVU adhesive capsule and the Hilti HAS anchor rod or
HIS internally threaded insert.
Installation—Adhesive anchors to be installed in holes drilled using the
specified diameter of Hilti carbide tipped drill bit or matched tolerance
Hilti DD-B or DD-C diamond core bit. Anchors shall be installed in strict
accordance to section 4.2.1.4. Do not disturb until cure time has elapsed.

4.2.1.4 Installation Instructions for HAS Rods, HIS Inserts and Rebar
1. Set the drill depth gauge and drill
a hole to the required hole depth.
Important: Clean out dust and
debris. Use compressed air or
vacuum at bottom of the hole.
When using a Hilti matched
tolerance diamond core bit,
immediately remove standing
water.
HAS Threaded Rods
3. Thread a HAS nut on the HAS rod.
Place a washer on top of the first
nut and then thread a black setting
nut down on top of the washer.
Tighten the two nuts together
“locking” the washer between
them. The top nut should be flush
with the top of the rod.
HIS Internally Threaded Inserts
3. Insert the shaft with socket into
the hammer drill, screw the setting
tool into the HIS and place in
the socket.
Rebar
3. Rotate knurled locking
sleeve and insert appropriate
diameter rebar. End of rebar
being inserted into base
material must have a 45°
cut or a 90° chisel point.

2. Insert appropriate diameter HVU
adhesive capsule* into pre-drilled

Note: The best method for setting
multiple capsules is to crush the
first capsule(s) into the hole and
then insert the next capsule. DO * Capsule length is longer than standard embed.
NOT cut off capsules partially depth and will protrude from the hole.
