This document provides installation instructions for the Hilti HIT-Z(-R)-D TP M16 chemical anchor system. Ensure that the ambient temperature during installation is between +5°C and +40°C. Always use the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as indicated by the pictograms.
Technical Specifications
The following parameters are critical for the correct installation of the anchor:

- Drill bit diameter (d0): 18 mm
- Fixture hole diameter (df): 20 mm
- Effective embedment depth (hef): 125 mm
- Installation torque (Tinst): 80 Nm for HIT-Z-D TP; 155 Nm for HIT-Z-R-D TP
Installation Procedure
Follow these steps to ensure a secure installation:

- Preparation: Mark the required embedment depth (hef + tfix) on the anchor rod.
- Drilling: Drill the hole to the specified depth.
- Cleaning: Ensure the hole is thoroughly cleaned of dust and debris before proceeding.
- Adhesive Injection: Inject the Hilti HIT-HY 200 adhesive into the hole, filling approximately 2/3 of the hole depth (h0).
- Anchor Insertion: Insert the anchor rod into the hole. Ensure the adhesive is properly distributed.
- Curing: Allow the adhesive to cure according to the specified curing time (tcure). Do not disturb the anchor during this period.
- Fixture Installation: Once cured, place the fixture over the anchor.
- Torque Application: Install the washer and nut. Tighten the nut to the specified installation torque (Tinst) using a calibrated torque wrench.
