3.2.14 X-BT FASTENING SYSTEMS
3.2.14.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Hilti X-BT Fastening System is an innovative method of fastening to prepainted steel with little to no damage to the surface coating . The system consists of a Hilti powder-actuated or battery-actuated tool equipped with specially adapted fastener guides for use with X-BT threaded studs . The X-BT fasteners are stainless steel threaded studs available with thread diameters 8 mm , 1 / 4 " ( W6 ) and 3 / 8 " ( W10 ). The stud , with or without sealing washer , is set in a small pre-drilled hole in the base steel . The X-BT system is designed to work on carbon steels as thin as 5 / 16 " ( 8 mm ) without through-penetration and little to no damage to the back surface coatings , helping to elminate time consuming surface preparation and rework ( such as with welding ).
The X-BT-GR M8 threaded stud , in conjunction with the X-FCM grating disks , can be used to fasten grating to a variety of different steel shapes ( Refer to Section 3.4.2 .). X-BT-MR W6 and W10 threaded fasteners can be used to support cable / conduit connectors and trays , piping , channels , instrumentation , lighting fixtures , signage , junction boxes , and other fastenings to steel .
Product features and benefits
• More efficient : No through penetration of base material — helping elminate rework of the base steel coating .
• Fast : Up to 100 studs per hour can be set by one user .
• Durable : Highly corrosion resistant stainless steel . Fusion to base steel resulting in high load capacities compared to similar methods of fastening .
• Flexible : Works on most steel shapes and thicknesses down to 5 / 16 " ( 8mm ), ideal for both mild and high strength carbon steel base materials .
• Simple : Easy to use portable system requiring no electrical cords or heavy equipment .
