strength, f′c, of 2,500 psi to 8,500 psi (17.2 MPa to
58.6 MPa) [minimum of 24 MPa is required under ADIBC
Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].
The 3/8-inch- and 1/2-inch-diameter (9.5 mm and
12.7 mm) carbon steel KB-TZ anchors may be installed in
the topside of cracked and uncracked normal-weight or
sand-lightweight concrete-filled steel deck having a
minimum member thickness, hmin,deck, as noted in Table 6
of this report and a specified compressive strength, f′c,
of 3,000 psi to 8,500 psi (20.7 MPa to 58.6 MPa) [minimum
of 24 MPa is required under ADIBC Appendix L,
Section 5.1.1].
The 3/8-inch-, 1/2-inch-, 5/8-inch- and 3/4-inch diameter
(9.5 mm, 12.7 mm and 15.9 mm) carbon steel KB-TZ
anchors may be installed in the soffit of cracked and
uncracked normal-weight or sand-lightweight concrete over
metal deck having a minimum specified compressive
strength, f'c, of 3,000 psi (20.7 MPa) [minimum of 24 MPa
is required under ADIBC Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].
The anchoring system complies with anchors as
described in Section 1901.3 of the 2015 IBC, Section 1909
of the 2012 IBC, and Section 1912 of the 2009 and 2006
IBC. The anchoring system is an alternative to cast-in-
place anchors described in Section 1908 of the 2012 IBC,
and Section 1911 of the 2009 and 2006 IBC. The anchors
may also be used where an engineered design is

3.0 DESCRIPTION
3.1 KB-TZ:
KB-TZ anchors are torque-controlled, mechanical
expansion anchors. KB-TZ anchors consist of a stud
(anchor body), wedge (expansion elements), nut, and
washer. The anchor (carbon steel version) is illustrated in
Figure 1. The stud is manufactured from carbon steel or
AISI Type 304 or Type 316 stainless steel materials.
Carbon steel KB-TZ anchors have a minimum 5 μm
(0.0002 inch) zinc plating. The expansion elements for the
carbon and stainless steel KB-TZ anchors are fabricated
from Type 316 stainless steel. The hex nut for carbon steel
conforms to ASTM A563-04, Grade A, and the hex nut for
stainless steel conforms to ASTM F594.
The anchor body is comprised of a high-strength rod
threaded at one end and a tapered mandrel at the other
end. The tapered mandrel is enclosed by a three-section
expansion element which freely moves around the
mandrel. The expansion element movement is restrained
by the mandrel taper and by a collar. The anchor is
installed in a predrilled hole with a hammer. When torque
is applied to the nut of the installed anchor, the mandrel is
drawn into the expansion element, which is in turn
expanded against the wall of the drilled hole.
3.2 Concrete:
Normal-weight and lightweight concrete must conform to
Sections 1903 and 1905 of the IBC.
3.3 Steel Deck Panels:
Steel deck panels must be in accordance with the
configuration in Figures 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D and have a

must comply with this report and plans and specifications
approved by the code official. The Hilti KB-TZ must be
installed in accordance with manufacturer’s published
instructions and this report. In case of conflict, this report
governs. Anchors must be installed in holes drilled into the
concrete using carbide-tipped masonry drill bits complying
with ANSI B212.15-1994 or using the Hilti SafeSet
SystemTM with Hilti TE-YD or TE-CD Hollow Drill Bits
complying with ANSI B212.15-1994 with a Hilti vacuum
with a minimum value for the maximum volumetric flow
rate of 129 CFM (61 l/s). The Hollow Drill Bits are not
permitted for use with the 3/8” and 3/4” diameter KB-TZ
anchors. The minimum drilled hole depth, h0, is given in
Tables 1A and 1B. When drilling dust is not removed after
hole drilling, make sure to drill deep enough to achieve
hnom taking into account the depth of debris remaining in
the hole. If dust and debris is removed from the drilled hole
with the Hilti TE-YD or TE-CD Hollow Drill Bits or
compressed air or a manual pump, hnom is achieved at the
specified value of h0 noted in Tables 1A and 1B. The
anchor must be hammered into the predrilled hole until
hnom is achieved. The nut must be hand-tightened against
the washer until the torque values specified in Tables 1A
and 1B are achieved. For installation in the soffit of
concrete on steel deck assemblies, the hole diameter in
the steel deck not exceed the diameter of the hole in the
concrete by more than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm). For member
thickness and edge distance restrictions for installations
into the soffit of concrete on steel deck assemblies, see
Figures 5A, 5B and 5C. The 3/8”, 1/2”, and 5/8” anchors
may be installed using the Hilti Safe-Set™ System

Section 1705.1.1 and Table 1705.3 of the 2015 IBC and
2012 IBC; Section 1704.15 and Table 1704.4 of the 2009
IBC; or Section 1704.13 of the 2006 IBC, as applicable.
The special inspector must make periodic inspections
during anchor installation to verify anchor type, anchor
dimensions, concrete type, concrete compressive strength,
anchor spacing, edge distances, concrete member
thickness, tightening torque, hole dimensions, anchor
embedment and adherence to the manufacturer’s printed
installation instructions. The special inspector must be
present as often as required in accordance with the
“statement of special inspection.” Under the IBC, additional
requirements as set forth in Sections 1705, 1706 and 1707
must be observed, where applicable.
5.0 CONDITIONS OF USE
The Hilti KB-TZ anchors described in this report comply
with the codes listed in Section 1.0 of this report, subject to
the following conditions:
5.1 Anchor sizes, dimensions, minimum embedment
depths and other installation parameters are as set
forth in this report.
5.2 The anchors must be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s published instructions and this report.
In case of conflict, this report governs.
5.3 Anchors must be limited to use in cracked and
uncracked normal-weight concrete and lightweight
concrete having a specified compressive strength, f'c,
of 2,500 psi to 8,500 psi (17.2 MPa to 58.6 MPa)
[minimum of 24 MPa is required under ADIBC
Appendix L, Section 5.1.1], and cracked and
uncracked normal-weight or sand-lightweight concrete
over metal deck having a minimum specified
compressive strength, f 'c, of 3,000 psi (20.7 MPa)
[minimum of 24 MPa is required under ADIBC
Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].
5.4 The values of f'c used for calculation purposes must
not exceed 8,000 psi (55.1 MPa).
5.5 Strength design values must be established in
accordance with Section 4.1 of this report.

ESR-1917 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page 5 of 16
5.6 Allowable design values are established in
accordance with Section 4.2.
5.7 Anchor spacing and edge distance as well as
minimum member thickness must comply with Tables
3, 4, and 6, and Figures 4, 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D.
5.8 Prior to installation, calculations and details
demonstrating compliance with this report must be
submitted to the code official. The calculations and
details must be prepared by a registered design
professional where required by the statutes of the
jurisdiction in which the project is to be constructed.
5.9 Since an ICC-ES acceptance criteria for evaluating
data to determine the performance of expansion
anchors subjected to fatigue or shock loading is
unavailable at this time, the use of these anchors
under such conditions is beyond the scope of this
report.
5.10 Anchors may be installed in regions of concrete
where cracking has occurred or where analysis
indicates cracking may occur (ft > fr), subject to the
conditions of this report.
5.11 Anchors may be used to resist short-term loading due
to wind or seismic forces in locations designated as
Seismic Design Categories A through F of the IBC,
subject to the conditions of this report.
5.12 Where not otherwise prohibited in the code, KB-TZ
anchors are permitted for use with fire-resistance-
rated construction provided that at least one of the
following conditions is fulfilled:
• Anchors are used to resist wind or seismic forces
only.
• Anchors that support a fire-resistance-rated
envelope or a fire-resistance-rated membrane
are protected by approved fire-resistance-rated
materials, or have been evaluated for resistance to
fire exposure in accordance with recognized
standards.
• Anchors are used to support nonstructural
elements.
5.13 Use of zinc-coated carbon steel anchors is limited to
dry, interior locations.
5.14 Use of anchors made of stainless steel as specified in
this report are permitted for exterior exposure and
damp environments.
5.15 Use of anchors made of stainless steel as specified in
this report are permitted for contact with preservative-
treated and fire-retardant-treated wood.
5.16 Anchors are manufactured by Hilti AG under an
approved quality-control program with inspections by
ICC-ES.
5.17 Special inspection must be provided in accordance
with Section 4.4.
6.0 EVIDENCE SUBMITTED
6.1 Data in accordance with the ICC-ES Acceptance
Criteria for Mechanical Anchors in Concrete Elements
(AC193), dated October 2015, which incorporates
requirements in ACI 355.2-07 / ACI 255.2-04 for use
in cracked and uncracked concrete.
6.2 Quality-control documentation.
7.0 IDENTIFICATION
The anchors are identified by packaging labeled with the
manufacturer’s name (Hilti, Inc.) and contact information,
anchor name, anchor size, and evaluation report number
(ESR-1917). The anchors have the letters KB-TZ
embossed on the anchor stud and four notches
embossed into the anchor head, and these are visible after
installation for verification.
