Hilti HIT-RE 500 V4 Adhesive Anchoring System

Product Overview

The Hilti HIT-RE 500 V4 is an adhesive anchoring system designed for fixing rebar and anchor fastenings in concrete and wood. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for safe and effective use.

Safety Information

DANGER: This product can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. It may also cause an allergic skin reaction and respiratory irritation. It is toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and face protection. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. In case of contact, rinse immediately and seek medical attention if irritation persists.

WARNING: Improper handling can lead to mortar splashes, potentially causing irreversible eye damage. Ensure the mixer is properly screwed on before dispensing. Never remove the mixer while the system is under pressure. Use only the supplied mixer type and do not modify it. Do not use damaged foil packs or holders.

Ensure boreholes are clean, dry, and free from debris, dust, water, ice, oil, grease, and other contaminants. Use Hilti hollow drill bits (TE-CD, TE-YD) in conjunction with a Hilti vacuum cleaner. Proper borehole cleaning is crucial for reliable fastening.

Product Information and Usage

Always keep these instructions with the product. Ensure the instruction manual is provided with the product when it is given to a third party.

Expiration Date: Check the expiration date imprinted on the cartridge. Do not use expired product.

Temperature Requirements:

• Foil pack temperature during use: +5 °C to 40 °C / 41 °F to 104 °F (for wood: +10 °C to 30 °C / 50 °F to 86 °F).
• Transport and storage conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place between +5 °C to 25 °C / 41 °F to 77 °F.

Partially used foil packs must be used within four weeks. Leave the mixer attached and store according to recommendations. If reusing, attach a new mixer and discard the initial quantity of adhesive.

Curing Process: Due to heat generation during curing, metal elements (rods) must be set within the allowed working time to prevent negative effects on the base material (wood).

Installation Guidelines

Follow the numbered steps for correct installation. Key parameters include:

• Hole Diameter (do) and Effective Bond Length (hef): Refer to the tables for specific values based on rebar/anchor size and concrete type.
• Working Time (twork): The time available for installation after mixing the adhesive.
• Initial Curing Time (tcure, ini): The time until the adhesive has set sufficiently for initial load.
• Full Curing Time (tcure, full): The time until the adhesive reaches its full strength.
• Roughening Time (troughhen): Time required for surface preparation.
• Temperature: Concrete and cartridge temperatures affect curing times.
• ECO Mode: An energy-saving function.
• Automatic Filter Cleaning: A feature for maintaining the dispensing tool.

The document includes detailed diagrams illustrating the installation process for various scenarios (e.g., cracked concrete, water-saturated concrete, overhead applications).

Specific Installation Steps (Examples):

• Rebar Installation: Involves drilling the hole, cleaning, injecting adhesive, inserting rebar, and allowing for curing.
• Anchor Installation: Similar process involving hole preparation, adhesive injection, anchor insertion, and curing.

Refer to the diagrams for precise steps and measurements, including the use of specific Hilti accessories like the HIT-SZ/IP for overhead applications.

Technical Data and Specifications

Tables provide data on various parameters, including:

• Recommended hole diameters and effective bond lengths for different anchor sizes.
• Curing times (twork, tcure, ini, tcure, full) at various temperatures.
• Torque values (Tinst) for specific anchor types.
• Details on Hilti accessories such as HIT-RB, HIT-SZ, HIT-DL, HIT-OHC, TE-YRT, Hilti VC 10/20/40 (-Y), HIT-RE-M, HIT-OHW.

Disposal Considerations

Empty packs should be disposed of via local collection systems. Full or partially emptied packs must be treated as special waste according to official regulations.

Approvals and Compliance

The Hilti HIT-RE 500 V4 is subject to approvals from building authorities. This manual may contain specific application conditions that go beyond the scope of the respective approval. In case of conflict, the product prescription in the approval document takes precedence.
