Specific Part
Technical description of the product
The Hilti heavy duty HSL4 anchor is a torque-controlled expansion anchor made of galvanised steel which
is placed into a drilled hole and anchored by torque controlled expansion.
The product description is given in Annexes A.

Base materials:
Reinforced or unreinforced normal weight concrete according to EN 206:2013+ A1:2016.
Strength classes C20/25 to C50/60 according to EN 206:2013+A1:2016.
Cracked and uncracked concrete.
Design:
Anchorages are designed under the responsibility of an engineer experienced in anchorages and
concrete work.
Verifiable calculation notes and drawings are prepared taking account of the loads to be anchored.
The position of the anchor is indicated on the design drawings (e.g. position of the anchor reloative
to reinforcement or to supports etc.).
Anchorages under static or quasi-static loading are designed in accordance with EN 1992-4
Anchorages under seismic actions (cracked concrete) are designed in accordance with EN 1992-4
Anchorages shall be positioned outside of critical regions (e.g. plastic hinges) of the concrete
structure. Fastenings in stand-off installation or with a grout layer under seismic action are not
covered in this European technical assessment (ETA).
In case of requirements to resistance to fire local spalling of the concrete cover must be avoided.
Installation:
Anchor installation carried out by appropriately qualified personnel and under the supervision of the
person responsible for technical matters of the site.
The anchor may only be set once.
Drilling technique: see Table B1 and Table B2.
Cleaning the hole of drilling dust.
In case of aborted hole, drilling of new hole at a minimum distance of twice the depth of the aborted
hole, or smaller distance provided the aborted drill hole is filled with high strength mortar and no
shear or oblique tension loads in the direction of aborted hole.
