Special markings on the outer surface of the t-bolt aids the
installer to ensure the t-bolt is properly positioned before the
installation torque is applied. Moreover, it allows the installer
and inspector to identify the type of bolt, after the fixture is
installed. Once the fixture is installed, the head of the t-bolt is
no longer visible and the only visible part of the t-bolt is its outer
face.

2.2.10 HILTI CHANNEL BOLTS: HBC-C

HBC-C can be used to transfer tensile loads, shear loads
perpendicular to the longitudinal channel axis, or any
combination of these loads. Transferring of the loads takes
place via interlock between the HBC and the channel lips.
The new Hilti design method for corners follows the principles of
AC232 and allows the anchor channels to be installed as close
as physically possible to the corner, as long as the minimum
corner and edge distances are not exceeded. The use of HAC
EDGE allows the concrete to take higher shear forces, making it
the perfect solution for corner applications.

HBC come with a special marking to ease the identification
before and after installation takes place. All HBC are covered by
ESR-3520.
Hilti Channel Bolts — C (HBC-C) are suitable for channel profiles
HAC-40, HAC-50, HAC-60, & HAC-70. HBC-C come in bolt
diameters M12, M16, and M20, steel grades 8.8 and 50, finishing
and materials HDG and SS, respectively
Corner distance c ca2 is measured to the center of the anchor.
HAC EDGE at corner requires the use of HAC EDGE and HAC
EDGE C. The EDGE C plate of HAC EDGE C comes with rebars
that are located 1 rebar diameter below the bottom of the channel
profile to prevent clashing of the rebars with the HAC EDGE.
14. Design
Example
The Hilti Channel Bolts (HBC) are part of the anchor channel
system. HBC are threaded fasteners commonly known as
T-bolts. HBC are the link between the fixture and anchor
channel. The HBC have a proprietary head geometry, therefore,
and HBC are only compatible with Hilti Anchor Channels. The
head of the HBC can be inserted along the channel cavity. The
fixture is connected to the anchor channel by channel bolts
with a nut and washer. Thus, allowing for the so desired jobsite
tolerance.

HAC EDGE C and HAC S EDGE C are suitable for non-90°
corners. The use of two independent anchor channels simplifies
the portfolio by no requiring custom made channels. See
Chapter 9 for design information.
13. Field Fixes
2.2.9 HILTI CHANNEL BOLTS
The head of the t-bolt is first installed parallel to the channel
profile. Once it is positioned in place, the bolt is turned 90°
clockwise. The head of the bolt has been engineered in a way
that the t-bolt cannot rotate more than 90° clockwise. This
ensures the bolt is properly positioned before the required
installation torque is applied.

corners
12. Instructions
for Use
HAC EDGE and HAC S EDGE are ideal for top of slab corner
applications. Two independent anchor channels at the corner
allows de-coupling the loads at both channels, preventing
anchors and rebars from taking undesired loads. Furthermore,
using two independent channels eases the installation in
congested areas, preventing damage of the anchors during
installation.
