Based on the BD central data bank BD-AF 162, HSL4 M10, M16, and M20 are pre-accepted, however in PROFIS, only HSL4-B is available to be selected as fixing; additional to that, the smallest size of HSL4-B is M12. So, if I want to design a fixing detail with HSL4, I can only use HSl4-B in the software and the available anchor size bolt is only M16 and M20? Please advise, thank you.
Dear Arthur,
Thank you for asking Hilti.
Only HSL4-B is available in Profis Engineering. Sorry for the inconvenience.
HSL4-B has a similar configuration as HSL4 with an additional red-cap on the hexagonal head of the anchor. The red cap is an installation quality accessory which will detach from the anchor if sufficient installation torque is applied. This product feature aims to enable visually inspection and provide stronger quality control in safety critical applications.
Both HILTI HSL4 and HSL4-B anchor are certified with European Technical Approval (ETA).
Best Regards
