he most commonly used powder actuated fasteners are ______ and ______
8mm and 10mm pins and studs
There are five key head types of Hilti powder actuated fasteners with _____ guidance washers.
8mm
Five 8mm Fasteners
X-U X-C X-S X-CR X-CF
The ___ nomenclature indicates a “universal” fastener. Provides customers with a simple, universal, high performance, competitively priced powder actuated fastener system for a variety of applications
X-U
The _____ nomenclature indicates a standard fastener for concrete applications. has a cut point fastener and is not as strong as ballistic. Better suited for low to medium psi concrete
X-C
The ____ nomenclature indicates a standard fastener for steel applications. Primarily used in thin materials or drywall track to steel. Only two sizes available ____ 13 and ____ 16
X-S
The ____ nomenclature indicates a “corrosion resistant” fastener. Provide excellent performance where moisture or corrosion are possible.
X-CR
Sometimes referred to as a “cheap fastener”. This fastener has been developed for high volume users fastening into green/new or lightweight concrete for interior 2x4 applications or for temporary exterior fastening.
X-CF
Hilti’s powder actuated pins with 10mm guidance washers have the ____ nomenclature, which indicates a dome-shaped nail head. These thicker fasteners can support a greater shear force. They also have a ballistic point, which provides excellent penetration.
X-DS
______ ______ have threads that protrude from the base material surface after installation. Since the nut and washer used to tighten fastened material may be removed after installation, studs can be used to fasten material temporarily.
Threaded Studs
27mm = 1”
27mm = 1”
TRUE OR FALSE: The compressive strength of concrete is measured in pounds per square foot.
False, Pounds per square inch
TRUE OR FALSE: Fasteners are often used in the construction industry.
True, Almost all use them frequently
Examples of stud anchors include: (4)
wedge, sleeve, undercut, impact
The anchors that generate holding power without bonding to the base material are _____ anchors.
Mechanical
The anchors that rely on a chemical bond, created from a resin and hardener, to adhere an anchor to concrete, solid masonry, or hollow masonry are _____ anchors.
Adhesive
Expansion shield, lag shield, drop-in, and toggler bolt anchors are all examples of _____ anchors.
Insert
TRUE OR FALSE: Screw anchors cut and tap into the base material.
True
Wedge and sleeve anchors are examples of _____ anchors
Stud
The anchors that are positioned before concrete is poured are _____ anchors.
Cast in place
There are three main working principles for anchors
friction, keying, and adhesion.
The loads or forces placed on anchors can be classified into four categories
Tension, Shear, Combined, Bending
An anchor’s ___________ is a measure of the maximum weight the anchor will support before it fails.
Ultimate Load
