Hilti HIT-RE 500
Adhesive mortar for rebar and anchor fastenings in solid concrete
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.
Follow the pictograms on pages 2 - 3 for the exact sequence of operations and refer to the tables on pages 4 - 6 for
setting details.
• Holes should be produced using a matched tolerance rotary hammer drill or diamond coring equipment.
• Clean holes using a brush. Blow out dust and 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 underwater application).
The boreholes must be dry and free of debris, dust, water, ice, oil, grease and other contaminants prior to adhesive
injection.
• Check foil pack holder for proper functioning, or damage, before inserting the foil pack. Do not use damaged foil
packs / cartridges.
• When used, the foil pack / cartridge must have a temperature between +5°C and +40°C.
• Use the HIT-RE-M mixing nozzle. Check that the mixing element is inside. Do not modify the mixing
nozzle in any way.
• Do not use the initial adhesive owing out of the mixing nozzle, i.e.
Discard the rst trigger pulls of adhesive into the empty foil pack package. See picture 8.
• Inject the adhesive starting from the bottom of the hole (use extension for deep holes) while slowly wi-
thdrawing the mixing nozzle. Avoid forming air pockets in the adhesive. Holes should be lled about l.
After installing a rebar / anchor the hole / annular gap must be completely full of adhesive.
• 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 up to max. +40°C), 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 bearing capacity. Don’t apply torque to
the anchors during this time, however work may continue which does not exceed 25% of its load bear ing 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 / cartridges must be used up within 4 weeks. They should be stored with the mixing nozzle on
them in the recommended storage conditions. If reused, attach a new mixing nozzle.
Caution! Never remove the mixer while the foil pack system is under pressure.
Press the release button of the dispenser to avoid mortar splashing.
Hilti accepts no liability for damage caused by:
- storage and transportation conditions, outside our specications
- failure to observe the setting instructions
- the use of inadequately dimensioned anchors
- inadequate load bearing capacity of the base material
- incorrect application
- or as a result of inuences unknown to or unacceptable to the manufacturer, e.g. the use of products from
other manufacturers.
