• Check expiration date: See expiration date imprint on
foilpack manifold. (Month/Year). Do not use expired product.
• Foil pack temperature: Must be between 41°F and 104°F
(5°C - 40°C) when in use.
• Base material temperature at time of installation: Must be
between 41°F and 110°F (5°C - 43°C).
• Instructions for transport and storage: Keep in a cool, dry
and dark place between 41°F and 77°F (5°C - 25°C).
• Material Safety Data Sheet: Review the MSDS before use.
Installation Instructions: Follow the pictograms 1-14 for the
sequence of operations and refer to tables 1-3 for setting details. For
any application not covered by this document (e.g. “hef” beyond
values specified in setting details), contact Hilti.
Installation flow Chart
1. Drill hole normal to the surface with a hammer drill set in
rotation-hammer mode using an appropriately sized carbide
drill bit, or with a core rig and an appropriately sized diamond
core bit, to the required embedment depth. See tables
describing setting details. (Drill bits must conform to ANSI
B212-1994.)
2-4. Clean hole: Cleaning method has to be decided based on
drilling method and borehole conditions (see flow chart above).
Just before setting an anchor/rebar, the borehole must be free
of dust and debris by one of the following methods:
Method 1 — for dry or water saturated concrete (refer to
pictograms):
• Blow from the back of the borehole with oil-free compressed
air (min. 90psi at 3.5 CFM (6 bar at 6 m
air extension 2 times until return air stream is free of
noticeable dust.
• Brush 2 times with the specified brush size (brush Ø =
borehole Ø) by inserting the round steel brush to the back of
the borehole in a twisting motion and removing it. The brush
should resist insertion into the borehole — if not, the brush is
too small and must be replaced with the proper brush
diameter.
• Blow again with compressed air 2 times until return air stream

/h)) fully retracting the
Method 2 — for water filled boreholes, submerged concrete
or diamond cored boreholes:
• Flush hole 2 times by inserting a water hose (water-line
pressure) to the back of the borehole until water runs clear.
• Brush 2 times with the specified brush size (brush Ø =
borehole Ø) by inserting the round steel brush to the back of
the borehole with a twisting motion and removing it. The
brush should resist insertion into the borehole — if not, the
brush is too small and must be replaced with the proper brush
diameter.
• Flush again 2 times until water runs clear.
• Important! For diamond cored boreholes and if a dry
borehole is required for injection (e.g. water flows into
cleaned borehole), continue with borehole cleaning as
described by methode 1. Remove all standing water
completely (i.e. vacuum, compressed air or other appropriate
procedure). To attain a dried borehole, a Hilti HIT-DL air nozzle
attachment is recommended for borehole depth up to 10 inch
(250 mm) and required for borehole depth > 10 inch (250 mm).
The borehole must be free of dust, debris, ice, oil, grease
and other contaminants prior to adhesive injection.
Inadequate borehole cleaning = poor load values
5. Insert foil pack in foil pack holder. Never use damaged foil
packs and/or damaged or unclean foil pack holders.
6. Tightly attach Hilti HIT-RE-M mixer to foil pack manifold.
Attach new mixer prior to dispensing a new foil pack (snug fit).
Do not modify the mixer in any way. Make sure the mixing
element is in the mixer. Use only the mixer supplied with the
adhesive.
7. Insert foil pack holder with foil pack into HIT-dispenser.
Push release trigger, retract plunger and insert foil pack holder
into the appropriate Hilti dispenser.
8. Discard initial adhesive. The foil pack opens automatically as
dispensing is initiated. Depending on the size of the foil pack an
initial amount of adhesive has to be discarded. See pictogram 8
for discard quantities. If a new mixer is installed onto a
previously-opened foil pack, the first trigger pulls must also be
discarded as described above. For each new foil pack a new
mixer must be used.
9-10. Inject adhesive from the back of the borehole without
forming air voids:
Verify if borehole conditions have changed (e.g. water in the
borehole) after cleaning. If yes, repeat cleaning according
points 2 - 4.
• Inject the adhesive starting at the back of the borehole (use
the extension for deep boreholes), slowly withdraw the mixer
with each trigger pull. Fill holes approximately 2/3 full, or as
required to ensure that the annular gap between the anchor/
rebar and the concrete is completely filled with adhesive
along the embedment length. After injection is completed,
depressurize the dispenser by pressing the release trigger.
This will prevent further adhesive discharge from the mixer.
• Piston plug injection — HIT-SZ/IP recommended for
borehole depth > 10 inch/250 mm. For water filled
boreholes or submerged concrete, and overhead
installation the piston plugs are required. Assemble HITRE-M mixer, extension(s) and appropriately sized piston
plug HIT-SZ/IP. Insert piston plug to back of the borehole and
