Technical description of product

Technical description of the product
HILTI HIK-T 12 and HILTI HIK-T 16 are post-installed anchor systems placed into predrilled holes in concrete, in masonry and anchored by bonding.
HILTI HIK-T 12 or HILTI HIK-T 16 distance fixing systems consist of a M12 or M16 threaded rod made from carbon steel or stainless steel and a thermal separation module made from polyamide. The fixing system is placed into a pre-drilled hole perpendicular to the surface (maximum deviation 5°) in masonry or concrete, and anchored by bonding the threaded rod element to the wall of the drilled hole.

The product description is given in Annex A.

Specification of the intended use in accordance with the applicable European Assessment Document (hereinafter EAD)

The intended use is fixings through an ETICS into the loadbearing wall of heavy-duty fixtures such as awnings, French balconies, canopies, satellite dishes, etc.
The system is used for distance installations in the following insulated base materials:
