Hilti HIT-RE 500
7
Injection mortar for rebar and anchor fastenings in solid concrete minimum anchor size M12 x 110 mm
Observe safety, storage and handling precautions represented by this instruction manual. Check the expiration date marked
on the plastic part of the foil pack before use. Do not use expired adhesive.
Material Safety Data Sheet: Review the MSDS before use. Ensure adequate ventilation when using HIT-RE 500.
For safe handling and to prevent damage to the foil packs on the jobsite store and transport them only in the original
cardboard box.
Follow the pictograms on pages 2 - 3 for the exact sequence of operations and refer to tables on pages 4 - 6 for setting details.
• Holes should be produced using a matched tolerance rotary hammer drill or diamond coring equipment.
• Hammer drilled holes: clean holes using a brush and blow-out pump or compressed air.
• Diamond cored holes: clean holes by flushing with water, brushing, and flush again with water. Blow out
standing water.
• Clean holes just before setting a rebar/anchor. Important! Remove all water from the borehole and blow out with oil free
compressed air until borehole is completely dried before mortar injection (not applicable to hammer drilled hole in un
-
derwater application). The boreholes must be dry and free of debris, dust, water, ice, oil, grease and other contaminants
prior to adhesive injection.
• Attention! Check foil packs and foil pack holder for proper functioning or damage - especially after they have been drop
-
ped. Dropping foil packs, also foil packs already inserted into the foil pack holder, is likely to cause damage leading to
malfunction. They should not be used.
Caution: Never use damaged foil packs or foil pack holder.
• When used, the foil pack must have a temperature between +5°C/40°F and +40°C/105°F).
• Use the HIT-RE-M mixing nozzle. Check that the mixing element is inside and do not modify the mixing
nozzle in any way. Before starting to dispense a new foil pack, always rst screw on tightly a new mixing nozzle.
• Do not use the initial mortar owing out of the mixing nozzle. Discard about 65 ml / 2,2 .oz of mortar (a cylindrical shape
of approx. 50 mm/2” diameter and 35 mm/1,5” height). It must be disposed of into the empty outer packaging. Likewise,
after changing a mixing nozzle, the initial ow must not be used.
• Fill hole by inserting mixer to bottom of hole (use mixer extension for deep holes), press the dispenser trig
-
ger in variable speed regulation mode and slowly withdraw it as mortar is dispensed. Avoid forming air
pockets in the mortar. Holes should be lled at least 50%.
• After installing a rebar or anchor the hole / annular gap must be completely lled with mortar.
• The working time, “twork/tgel”, initial curing time, “tcure,ini”, and full curing time, “tcure,full”, will depend on the base material
temperature (min. -5°C/23˚F up to max. +40°C/105˚F), which must be observed when setting rebars / anchors.
• Adhesive must be injected and the rebar / anchor inserted during “twork/tgel”. During this time it may still be aligned.
• Don’t apply any load to the rebar / anchor until “tcure,ini” has passed.
• Between “tcure,ini” and “tcure,full” the adhesive has about 25% of its load-bear ing capacity. Don’t apply torque to the
anchors during this time, however work may continue which does not exceed 25% of its load bearing capacity.
• After “tcure,full” has passed rebars and anchors can be subjected to the design loads. The tightening torque may then
be applied to anchors.
Partly-used foil packs must be used up within one week. Leave the foil pack with the mixing nozzle attached in the dispencer
and do not retract the pistons! Remove the air pressure hose and store under the recommended storage conditions. If reused,
attach a new mixing nozzle and discard the initial mortar ow as mentioned above.
Caution! Never remove the mixer while the foil pack system is under pressure.
