HOW TO INSTALL CAST-IN ANCHOR CHANNELS

Concrete embeds for high load

Our Hilti HAC anchor channel is a new generation of cast-in anchor system used in concrete structures for reliable load transfers.

It allows smoother load distribution, easier installation and comes in different lengths.
Its innovative V-form allows smooth load distribution around the channel profile and helps prevent air pockets and concrete voids underneath the channel.
Protective foam insert (LDPE) and end caps seal the channel effectively, helping to prevent concrete slurry entering the channel. The end-caps also support the user to install t-bolts in a safe position with offset to the channel-end.
Foam insert features a tear-out strip for fastest removal ensuring the integrity and high quality of galvanisation (avoiding damage to the galvanisation through use of screw drivers, hammers or gas torches).
The same t-bolts fit all our Hilti channels HAC-40 to HAC-70.
HAC-30 is designed to fit the modular Hilti MQ framing system. The MQ framing system can be directly inserted into HAC-30 channels. The use of additional threaded couplers and working time can be avoided. Hilti HAC anchor channels are manufactured in five different standard profiles in lengths up to 5800mm (19 feet).

Our Hilti HAC channel anchor is compliant with the most advanced codes and regulations.
