3. Fastener Selection Fromtheinformationinsection2.thefasteningtypeandfrequencycanbedetermined.Hilti do not believe that Gas actuated tools and fixings are suitable for this application, as the energy of the GX100/120 is not sufficient to perform a flush fixing.

3.1 Temporary Load OnlyForfasteningswhicharerequiredtotakea‘temporaryload’onlyduringtheconstructionphase,thefollowingfastenerscanbeconsidered:

Design conditions:• Recommended working loads valid for steel sheet with minimum tensile strength ≥ 360 N/mm2.

• In case of a design based on the characteristic resistance, recommended values have tobe multiplied by two: => NRk = Nrec · 2.0 VRk = Vrec · 2.0

• Redundancy (multiple fastening) must be provided.

• Valid for predominantly static loading

Risk Potential problem Measures to avoid Parallel risks for other problem fixing methods

Spalling Fragments entering Eye protection to BS EN 166 code B Swarf or concrete chips of base eyes or hitting skin Observe spacing and edge distance and dust drilling. material recommendations.
