2.6 CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
DWG and pdf files for the entire HAC library can be downloaded in the following link:
The level of customization of an anchor channel may be limited
by code requirements, structural performance, and design
constraints.
Custom or non-stock channel may be required due to
performance or geometric constraints. It is recommended to
always specify products that are kept in stock in North American.
However, there are cases where custom conditions cannot be
avoided. The information in this section provides guidelines of
the level of customization of the HAC product line. For questions,
please reach out to Hilti.
Anchor channels outside the lead time category "A" provided in
section 2.4 are not necessarily custom channels. What defines
a custom anchor channel is whether a custom component is
required. A component is referred to any member of an anchor
channel (i.e. anchor, channel profile, rivet, rebar, or EDGE Plate).
For instance, an anchor channel with a non-standard anchor
spacing (i.e. 2 anchors at 6.75 in. O.C.) or number of anchors (i.e.
11.80 in. (300 mm) long with 3 anchors) do not require custom
components. However, an anchor channel with a custom anchor
length (i.e. HAC-50 with 7" long anchors) requires the use of a new
component.
Hilti keeps in stock anchor channel that are commonly used in
North America. Non-standard and custom anchor channel can
be provided upon request. A non-stock item is not necessarily
a custom item. See section 2.4 for standard non-stock items.
Depending on the level of customization, longer lead times and
minimum order may be required.

Design Code
2.6.1 CUSTOM ANCHOR CHANNEL LENGTHS
(HAC, HAC CRFOS U, HAC EDGE)
Figure 2.5.3.1 — HAC on-line library.
Anchor channel with custom lengths (non-standard anchor spacing)
can be provided upon request. AC232 and ICC ESR-3520 have
minimum spacing requirements that shall be met. The lead time for
anchor channels with non-standard anchor spacing is 10-12 weeks.
Minimum Anchor Spacing
The minimum anchor spacing (S) for anchor channels is as follows:
HAC-40, HAC-50, HAC-60, and HAC-70 is 3.94” (100 mm)
This information is applicable to HAC and HAC CRFoS U.
Maximum Anchor Spacing
The maximum anchor spacing (S) for anchor channels is 9.84” (250 mm).
