DIVISION: 03 00 00—CONCRETE
Section: 03 16 00—Concrete Anchors
3.1 X-HS Threaded Rod Hanger Assembly:
The Hilti X-HS threaded rod hanger assembly consists of
a Hilti X-U low velocity, powder-actuated fastener
(recognized in ESR-2269) with two premounted washers
(one of zinc-plated steel, one of plastic), and a premounted
cold-formed steel bracket (threaded rod hanger) having a
1
3
/4- or /8-inch-diameter (6.4 or 9.5 mm) internally threaded
1
3
hole to accommodate connection of /4- or /8-inchdiameter (6.4 or 9.5 mm) UNC threaded steel rods,
respectively. The X-HS U19 and X-HS U32 hanger
assemblies described in this report, include Hilti X-U19 and
X-U32 fasteners, respectively, recognized in ESR-2269.
The X-U19 and X-U32 fasteners have shank lengths of
0.75 inch (19 mm) and 1.26 inches (32 mm), respectively.
The threaded rod hangers are manufactured from mild
carbon steel with a zinc coating in accordance with Hilti’s
specifications. See Figure 1 for an illustration of the X-HS
threaded rod hanger assembly.

Structural
2.0 USES
Hilti X-HS low-velocity, powder-actuated, threaded rod
hanger assemblies are used as alternatives to the cast-inplace anchors described in IBC Section1908 for placement
in concrete, and the welds and bolts used to attach
materials to steel, described in IBC Sections 2204.1 and
2204.2, respectively. The assemblies are used to connect
threaded steel rods to the supporting material. The hanger
assemblies may be used where an engineered design is
submitted in accordance with IRC Section R301.1.3.
3.2.4 Steel Deck Panels: Steel deck panels must
conform to a code-referenced material standard, with the
minimum thickness and minimum yield strength noted in
Table 3. See Figures 4 through 6 for panel configuration
requirements.
4.0 DESIGN AND INSTALLATION
4.1 Design:
4.1.1 Allowable Loads: The allowable tension, shear
and 45-degree-angle loads for X-HS threaded rod hanger
assemblies installed into steel are provided in Table 1. The
allowable tension, shear and 45-degree-angle loads for
X-HS threaded rod hanger assemblies installed into
normal-weight concrete are provided in Table 2. The
allowable tension, shear and 45-degree-angle loads for

ESR-2795 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted
X-HS threaded rod hanger assemblies installed into sandlightweight concrete and into sand-lightweight concrete
filled steel deck panels are provided in Table 3. For other
angles of installation, allowable loads for assemblies
subjected to combined shear and tension forces must be
determined using the following equation:
(p/Pa) + (v/Va) ≤ 1
where:
p
= Actual tension load, lbf (N).
Pa = Allowable tension load, lbf (N).
v
= Actual shear load, lbf (N).
Va = Allowable shear load, lbf (N).
The stress increases and load reductions described in
IBC Section 1605.3 are not allowed for wind loads acting
alone or when combined with gravity loads. No increase is
allowed for vertical loads acting alone. Allowable loads
apply to the connection of the X-HS Hanger Assembly to
the base material only with threaded rod installed. Design
of the connection of the X-HS Hanger Assembly to the
suspended material must comply with the applicable
requirements of the IBC
4.1.2 Seismic Considerations:
4.1.2.1 Use with Structural Components: Resistance to
seismic loads is outside the scope of this report. Therefore,
the suitability of the Hilti X-HS Hanger Assemblies for use
with structural components that are subjected to seismic
loads is outside the scope of this report.
4.1.2.2 Use with Nonstructural Components: Seismic
load resistance is outside the scope of this report, except
when used with architectural, mechanical and electrical
components described in Section 13.1.4 of ASCE 7 and as
follows:
 Concrete Base Materials: The X-HS Hanger
Assemblies fastened to concrete may be used to
support acoustical tile or lay-in panel suspended ceiling
systems, distributed systems and distribution systems
where the service load on any individual X-HS Hanger
Assembly does not exceed the lesser of 90 lbf (400 N)
or the published allowable load shown in Table 2 or 3,
as applicable.
 Steel Base Materials: The X-HS Hanger Assemblies
fastened to steel may be used where the service load
on any individual X-HS Hanger Assembly does not
exceed the lesser of 250 lbf (1112 N) or the published
allowable load shown in Table 1.
4.2 Installation:
4.2.3 General: The X-HS threaded rod hanger
assemblies must be installed in accordance with this report
and the Hilti, Inc., published installation instructions,
including those shown in Figure 2. A copy of these
instructions must be available on the jobsite at all times
during installation. Installation is limited to dry, interior
locations.
Fastener placement requires the use of a low-velocity
powder-actuated tool in accordance with Hilti, Inc.
recommendations. Nailhead standoff distance must be
as noted in the footnotes to the tables and as shown in
Figure 2. Installers must be certified by Hilti and have a
current, Hilti-issued, operator’s license.
4.2.4 Fastening to Steel: When installation is in steel,
minimum spacing between fasteners must be 1 inch
1
(25.4 mm) and minimum edge distance must be /2 inch
(12.7 mm).
Page 2 of 5
4.2.5 Fastening to Concrete: Fasteners must be driven
into the normal-weight or sand-lightweight concrete after
the concrete attains the specified concrete compressive
strength. Unless otherwise noted, minimum spacing
between fasteners must be 4 inches (102 mm) and
minimum edge distance must be 3 inches (76 mm). Unless
otherwise noted in this report, concrete thickness must be
a minimum of 3 inches (76 mm).
4.2.6 Fastening to Sand-lightweight Concrete Filled
Steel Deck Panels: Installation in sand-lightweight
concrete filled steel deck panels must comply with Figures
4 through 6. Minimum distances from fastener centerline to
rolled deck panel flute edges must be as depicted in
Figures 4 through 6.

4.1.1 must be submitted to the code official for
approval. The calculations must be prepared by a
registered design professional where required by the
statutes of the jurisdiction in which the project is
constructed.
5.4 Refer to Section 4.1.2 for seismic considerations.
