HILTI HIT RE 500 ADHESIVE ANCHORING SYSTEM
HILTI, INC.
5400 SOUTH 122ND EAST AVENUE
TULSA, OKLAHOMA 74146
1.0 SUBJECT
Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchoring System.
2.0 DESCRIPTION
2.1 General:
The Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchoring System is
intended for installation of post-installed threaded rods and
deformed reinforcing bars in minimum 2,000 psi (13.7 MPa)
normal-weight concrete. The Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive
Anchoring System is permitted to resist dead, live, seismic
and wind loads. The anchor system is an alternative to
cast-in-place anchors described in Section 1923.1 of the
1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC), and Section 1912 of
the 2000 International Building Code (IBC).
2.2 Materials:
2.2.1 Hilti HIT RE 500 High Strength Epoxy Adhesive:
The Hilti HIT RE 500 adhesive is a two-component
injectable epoxy adhesive with the components contained
in a dual-chambered cartridge. Available cartridge sizes
include 11.1 ounces (330 ml) and 37 ounces (1100 ml).
The two components combine when dispensed through a
static mixing nozzle attached to the cartridge at a 3:1 ratio
of resin to hardener. The static mixing nozzle is supplied by
Hilti. Each cartridge is stamped with an adhesive expiration
date. The Hilti HIT RE 500 epoxy adhesive has a
recommended maximum shelf life of nine months when
stored in the manufacturers unopened container at
temperatures between 23F (-5C) and 77F (25C).
2.2.2 Threaded Steel Rods: Threaded steel rods consist
of all-thread rods in diameters shown in Table 1. The rods,
with nut and washer, are available in three steel
specifications as shown in Table 2. The Standard HAS Rod
and the HAS Super Rod are furnished with a 5 m zinc
electroplate coating in accordance with ASTM B 633 SC 1.
2.2.3 Reinforcing Bars: Deformed reinforcing bars
range in size from No. 3 to No. 11, as shown in Table 3, and
are manufactured from steel conforming with ASTM A 615,
A 616, A 617 or A 706 (Grade 60, minimum).
2.2.4 Normal-weight Concrete: Concrete must be
normal-weight stone aggregate concrete having a minimum
28-day compressive strength of 2,000 psi (13.78 MPa) at
the time of anchor installation.
2.3 Design:
Allowable tension and shear loads for threaded rod and
rebar in normal-weight concrete are given in Tables 4 and
are not to be construed as representing aesthetics or any other attributes not specifically addressed, nor are they to be construed as
an endorsement of the subject of the report or a recommendation for its use. There is no warranty by ICBO Evaluation Service, Inc., express or implied,
as to any finding or other matter in this report, or as to any product covered by the report.

5, respectively. Anchors are permitted for live, dead, wind,
and earthquake loads. Where adjustments to the allowable
loads are permitted or required in accordance with Section
1612.3 of the UBC and Section 1605.3 of the IBC, those
adjustments shall be as follows:
1. For allowable short-term tension loads resulting from
wind and seismic forces, the concrete/bond and steel
values may be taken as 1.33 times the values given in
Tables 4 and 5.
2. For allowable short-term shear loads resulting from wind
and seismic forces, the concrete/bond values may be
taken as 1.33 times the values given in Tables 4 and 5.
3. For allowable short-term shear loads resulting from wind
and seismic forces based on steel strength, the steel
shear values must be calculated as follows:
a. For Standard HAS rods (ASTM A 36 rods), the
allowable shear load based on steel strength may be
taken as 1.33 times the A 36 value for static loads
given in Table 4.
b. For HAS Super rods (ASTM A 193 B7 rods), the
allowable shear load based on steel strength may be
taken as 0.94 times the A 193 B7 value for static loads
given in Table 4.
c. For stainless rods (ASTM F 593 CW rods), the
allowable shear load based on steel strength may be
taken as 1.14 times the AISI 304/316 SS value for
static loads given in Table 4.
d. For reinforcing bar (Grade 60), the allowable shear
load based on steel strength may be taken as 1.33
times the value for static loads given in Table 5.
The allowable tension and shear values in Tables 4 and
5 must be adjusted in accordance with Figure 1 for in-
service base-material temperatures in excess of 120F
(49C). Allowable loads for anchors subjected to combined
shear and tension forces are determined as follows:
(Ps / Pt )5/3 + (Vs / Vt )5/3 1
where:
Ps = Applied service tension load.
Pt = Allowable service tension load.
Vs = Applied service shear load.
Vt = Allowable service shear load.
For anchors installed at edge distances less than ccr, or
spacing less than scr, or both, the concrete/bond values
given in Tables 4 and 5 must be reduced in accordance with
the reduction factors given in Table 6. The reduced
concrete/bond-strength anchor values must be compared
with the corresponding allowable steel strength, and the
lesser value must be used to establish allowable anchor
capacity.

2.4 Installation:
Installation requirements are shown for various threaded rod
sizes in Table 1, for deformed reinforcement bars in Table
3. Holes must be drilled to the required depth, using an
electro-pneumatic hammer-drill in roto-hammer mode with
a carbide-tipped drill bit that complies with ANSI
Specification B212.15-1994, or a Hilti matched-tolerance
diamond core bit. Holes must be cleaned of dust and debris
using either a nylon or a wire brush and oil-free compressed
air, as required. For holes which are drilled with a diamond
core bit, the hole should be immediately flushed with water
until the water from the hole runs clear, brushed with a
nylon or wire brush and flushed again until the water runs
clear. Holes are permitted to be dry, damp or wet (including
the presence of standing water) at the time of anchor
installation. A clean mixing nozzle must be attached to the
cartridge, and the first three trigger pulls from each refill
pack must be discarded. The holes are filled one-half to
two-thirds full with the epoxy adhesive, starting at the
bottom to avoid entrapment of air. The steel anchor is
installed in the hole with a rotating motion until the bottom
of the hole is reached. Minor adjustments to the anchor
position may be made during the gel time as given in Table
7. The design load may be applied after the cure time given
in Table 7 has elapsed.
2.5 Compliance with ANSI/NSF Standard 61, Drinking
Water System ComponentsHealth Effects:
HIT RE 500 is recognized for use under ANSI/NSF
Standard 61, for contact with potable water systems. HIT
RE 500 is recognized for the installation of threaded rods in
water at temperatures up to and including the temperature
of domestic hot water [140F (60C)].
2.6 Special Inspection:
Special inspection in accordance with Section 1701 of the
UBC and Section 1704 of the IBC must be provided for all
anchor installations. The special inspector must record
compliance of the carbide drill bit with ANSI B212.15-1994,
and compliance of the Hilti diamond core drill bit nominal
diameter with this report; the hole depth and cleanliness;
the product description, including product name, rod type,
diameter and length; and the adhesive expiration date. The
special inspector also must verify anchor installation as
being in accordance with this report and the manufacturers
published instructions.
2.7 Identification:
The adhesive material is identified in the field by packaging
labels indicating the manufacturers name (Hilti, Inc.) and
address, the evaluation report number (ICBO ES ER-6010),
the product name, the batch number and the expiration
date. HAS threaded rods are identified by labels on the
packaging bearing the product name, size and the Hilti, Inc.,
name and address.

4.0 FINDINGS
That the Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchor System
described in this report complies with the 1997 Uniform
Building Code (UBC) and the 2000 International
Building Code (IBC), subject to the following
conditions:
4.1 The Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchor System is
permitted to be used to resist dead loads, live
loads and short-term loads, such as those
resulting from wind or earthquake.
4.2 When anchors are used to resist short-term loads,
such as wind or seismic, allowable loads are
calculated in accordance with Section 2.3 of this
report.
4.3 The anchors are installed in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions and this report.
4.4 The HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchors are installed in
holes predrilled using a carbide-tipped masonry
drill bit manufactured within the range of the
maximum and minimum dimensions of ANSI
B212.15-1994, or with a Hilti diamond core bit
having the same nominal diameter.
4.5 Special inspection in accordance with Section 2.6
of this report is provided for all anchor
installations.
4.6 Calculations and details demonstrating
compliance with this report are submitted to the
local building official for approval.
4.7 Anchors are not permitted for use in conjunction
with fire-resistive construction. Exceptions are:
Anchors resist wind or seismic loading only.
For other than wind or seismic loading, special
consideration is given to fire exposure
conditions.
4.8 Adhesive anchors may be used to resist tension
and shear forces in overhead or wall installations
only if consideration is given to the effects of
elevated temperature conditions on anchor
performance. Figure 1 shows load reduction
factors for elevated temperatures.
4.9 Since an ICBO ES acceptance criteria for
evaluating data to determine the performance of
adhesive anchors subjected to fatigue or shock
loading is unavailable at this time, the use of
these anchors under these conditions is beyond
the scope of this report.
Page 3 of 7
4.10 Since an ICBO ES acceptance criteria for
evaluating the performance of adhesive anchors
in cracked concrete is unavailable at this time,
the use of anchors is limited to installation in
uncracked concrete. Cracking occurs when ft >
fr due to service loads or deformations.
4.11 Use of the Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchor
System in conjunction with carbon steel
threaded rods shall be limited to interior
exposure. Installations exposed to severe,
moderate or negligible exterior weathering
conditions, as defined in Figure 21-1-1 of UBC
Standard 21-1 or Figure 1 of ASTM C 62, are
permitted where stainless steel anchors are
used.
4.12 During anchor installation, the hole and
surrounding location are permitted to be dry,
damp or wet (including standing water).
4.13 The Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchor System
may be installed in base materials having
interior temperatures between 23F (-5C) and
110F (43C) at the time of installation.
ER-6010
Installation of the Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive
Anchor System in base materials having interior
temperatures outside this range is beyond the
scope of this report. The temperature of the Hilti
HIT RE 500 Adhesive must be between 40F
(5C) and 105F (40C) at the time of installation.
4.14 When anchors are located where the interior
base-material temperature may exceed 120F
(49C), allowable tension and shear loads in this
report must be adjusted for in-service
temperatures in accordance with Figure 1. The
use of the Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchor
System in base materials having interior
temperatures exceeding 212F (100C) is beyond
the scope of this report.
4.15 The Hilti HIT RE 500 Adhesive Anchor System is
manufactured by Hilti GmbH at their facilities in
Kaufering, Germany, with quality control
inspections by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
(AA-668).
This report is subject to re-examination in one year.
