Offering designers a strength-design solution for anchors and rebar, the Hilti HIT RE 500-SD Epoxy Adhesive Anchor System is the industry's first adhesive anchor to receive recognition for use with the strength-design provisions for post-installed anchors found in the 2003 and 2006 International Building Code (IBC).

With greater flexibility for design and installation, the HIT RE 500-SD can be installed in the tensile zone of concrete members. Cracked concrete recognition allows the use of the HIT RE 500-SD in areas with any seismic design category (SDC) and qualifies it for use in a wide temperature range, meaning that project location is never a concern. The HIT RE 500-SD meets these requirements using a standard threaded rod with no special elements required for cracked concrete applications.

The HIT RE 500-SD's flexible embedment depth provides flexibility for various hole conditions — hammer-drilled, diamond-cored, water-saturated, water-filled, and underwater.
