Project planning allows for feasible anchoring designs, proper
layout, proper fulfillment and execution, and successful
installation.
Proactivity goes a long way! By planning ahead, onsite
complexities can be minimized thus allowing to take control
of the project while it will leave more time to work on the
unexpected.
Traditionally, anchor channel systems have been designed
using manufacturer’s data and allowable stress design. Anchor
channel systems are now easier to show compliance with
the International Building Code (IBC) for design with strength
design provisions. Providing model Code Compliant designs
ensures the use of the product will be accepted by local
authorities, jurisdictions, engineer of records, inspectors, etc.

Anchor channels are installed before the concrete is poured.
Proper planning between different trades is required for a
successful project.

The closed-cell foam allows for
an easy tear out strip, allowing the
entire foam length to be continuously
removed.
All Hilti anchor channels come with end caps, tear-out strip, and low density
polyethylene (closed-cell) foam to prevent concrete from entering the channel
cavity.
Adjustability without drilling or welding
T-bolt
T-bolts can be installed along the
channel length (except outers 1"), thus
allowing for the so desired installation
tolerance.
Fixture is positioned in the proper
position and the hexagonal nut is
tightened to the right setting torque.
‘NO DRILLING’ ADVANTAGES
No certified welder needed Faster installation
Faster installation No damage of slab’s reinforcement or concrete by
multiple drilling attempts
No toxic fumes (HDG) Anchors with reinforcing bars allowed for superior
performance
No electricity needed on site No scanning needed
No welding sparks No dust control requirements
‘NO WELDING’ ADVANTAGES
The International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES)
has developed the Acceptance Criteria for Anchor Channels in
Concrete Elements (AC232) to show compliance of the anchor
channel systems, and to assist in designing these systems
using the provisions given in AC232 and in the anchoring-to-
concrete provisions provided in the American Concrete Institute
(ACI) publication Building Code Requirements for Structural
Concrete (ACI 318).
