1.2.1 HILTI ANCHOR CHANNEL PORTFOLIO AT
A GLANCE
Hilti’s simplified and value engineered cast-in anchor channel
system portfolio, in conjunction with PROFIS Anchor Channel,
helps designers to easily provide model code compliant and
cost-effective anchor channel system solutions.
HAC's standard portfolio covers most of the extreme project
conditions. For a broader application coverage range, custom
solutions are offered upon request.
The Hilti Channel Bolts (HBC), commonly known as t-bolts
are part of the HAC system. HBC have proprietary bolt head
geometry compatible with HAC profiles. HBC are offered in
different types, diameters, steel grades, finishing, and lengths.
Although serrated t-bolts cannot be used with smooth lip
channel profile or vise-versa, t-bolts for each profile type
(smooth or serrated) can be used in all corresponding channel
profile sizes.
Numerical simulations allowed Hilti to design a range of channel
profiles with different anchor configurations, resulting in a
synergized steel to concrete performance.
Hilti Anchor Channels with smooth lips (HAC) and serrated lips
(HAC-T) are covered by ICC ESR-3520. The geometry of HAC
versus its matching HAC-T profile (i.e. HAC-50 vs HAC-T50) is
identical, with the main difference of the lip type. Generally,
HAC and its equivalent HAC-T offer similar performance. The

main advantage of HAC-T is that it offers higher slip resistance
at a lower installation torque.
HAC profiles (40, 50, 60, and 70) and HAC-T profiles (50 and
70) are the backbones of the Hilti’s anchor channel portfolio.
Such profiles are utilized in all different anchor channel types.
It is only the type of anchor and connection that changes or
additional accessories are incorporated. For instance, HAC-
50 with rounded head anchors has the same channel profile as
HAC-50 with reinforcing bar anchors (HAC-50 CRFoS U).
The innovative manufacturing channel technology allows
different channel profiles to have a relative constant channel
width, permitting one t-bolt head size to be used in all different
channel sizes, streamlining product portfolio and simplifying
installation on the job site. This means more cost-effective
t-bolts via economy of scale.

All Hilti channels come with end caps, filler foam, and a tear-out
strip for a smooth and clean installation. The product comes
with special identification marks to minimize the probability of
confusion on the jobsite.
The standard HAC portfolio consists of predetermined anchor
channel configurations which allow for shorter lead time. The
standard portfolio consists of fixed channel lengths, number of
anchors per channel, anchor type (rounded headed anchors,
reinforcing bar anchors, and/or EDGE plate), anchor diameter,
and anchor length.

Note:
Hilti Anchor Channels are a value engineered solution that
in addition of preserving the high product performance,
they have improved the function and features of the
traditional anchor channel system, creating differentiated
and innovative solutions that bring added value to the
cast-in industry.

1.2.2 HILTI ANCHOR CHANNEL PROFILES
HAC-40
The Hilti Anchor Channel (HAC) portfolio consists of two
different V-shape channel profile types; smooth and serrated
lips. To feasibly cope with the typical and non-typical conditions
encountered in a project, different channel profiles sizes
(HAC-40, 50, 60, and 70), channel lengths, and a versatile
configuration of anchors have been integrated into the standard
HAC portfolio.
9. Special Anchor
Channel Design
Hilti Anchor Channel (HAC) design models are based on
state-of-the-art compliance with International Council Code
Evaluation Service Report 3520 (ICC ESR-3520). Design models
of anchor channels not explicitly covered by ICC Acceptance
Criteria 232 (AC232) are based on applicable provisions of U.S.
Concrete Standard ACI 318 and AC232, and ESR-3520, as
applicable. Moreover, all Hilti Anchor Channel have been tested
following applicable AC232 testing protocols.
