FASTENING TO STEEL DESIGN CENTER
Fastening solutions designed to meet the demands of the toughest applications and environments
Realize productivity improvements and predictable cost savings with Hilti Power-actuated fastening systems, a safer and effective method for attaching equipment, fixtures, or supports to structural steel. By making quick, repetitive fastenings, Hilti solutions offer significant advantages compared to traditional methods like welding, clamping, or through-bolting. Hilti offers various product lines that provide corrosion-resistant fastenings for a wide range of applications across many industries and environmental conditions. From the interior of an industrial facility, to outdoor oil and gas sites, to the harshest offshore environments, Hilti fasteners are thoroughly tested to meet your demanding needs. These innovative systems are easy to install, provide consistent fastenings, and bring more productivity to the installer. This Design Center will help you learn more about this technology and where you can save time and money on your next project.
PowDer-Actuated Advantages over Traditional Fastening Methods
Fasten
to base material with minimal preparation and rework | Skilled
welder is not required | Only access
to one side of the steel is needed | More
flexibility in the field |

| Unlike welding or through-bolting, Hilti fastening solutions only
require a small pilot hole in the base material to fastening. No rework of the
base materials is needed after the fastening is made. This makes the overall
installation much faster while still providing reliable corrosion protection. | Fastening to steel with Hilti systems can be completed by most trained
operators and does not require a certified welder. Therefore, contractors can
deploy welders to other critical applications where welding is an absolute
must. On-site training and installer certification is provided by Hilti. | Unlike through-bolting or clamping, Hilti
fastening solutions do not require access to both sides of the base materials.
This improves operator productivity as there is no need to get fingers into
tight spaces, and possibly eliminates the need to reposition a lift to access
the back side of a fastening. | Hilti powder-actuated tools and cordless drill/drivers for sharp and
blunt-tip solutions cab be used in almost all-weather conditions. These tools
use powder, gas or battery technology eliminating the need for an external
power source, extension cords or leads. |
| Reliable
products backed by extensive testing and industry approvals | Procedures
and checks for repeatable, quality installations | No
through penetration or damage to the back of the steel | |

| Hilti provides comprehensive technical data for each product including,
but not limited to, capacity for different steel strengths and thickness,
vibration, resistance, and effects on base materials. The data is backed by the
international Code Council’s Evaluation Service ( ICC-ES), as well as many
industry approvals. In addition, Hilti blunt-tip screw fastening studs are
approved for use in aluminum. | Visual aids during the drilling process help create a reliable pilot
hole for blunt-tip fastener installation. Power regulation on the powder tool
and a depth gauge for the drill/driver help ensure that each blunt-tip fastener
can be set to the correct depth for optimum performance. Finally, both Hilti
sharp-tip and blunt-tip fasteners are easy to inspect after installation using
a visual check. | With Hilti blunt-tip technology, fastenings can be completed without
damaging the protective coating for steel as thins as ¼ inch, making it ideal
for highly-corrosive environments. |
