Introduction Post Installed Rebar

WHY TO USE POST-INSTALLED REBAR

Post-installed rebars – strong and easy to use

If you’re looking to extend, join or strengthen walls, slabs, columns or beams, then post-installed rebar systems can help with new or existing builds from residential buildings to bridges.

Post-installed rebar connections are anchorages and splices that are fixed into place by adhesive, using our Hilti HIT injection adhesives.

They’re easy and fast to use. Simply drill a hole, inject our Hilti HIT chemical adhesives and then install your steel bar.

And they’re at least as strong as cast-in place reinforcement bars, as proven in tests by European Technical Approvals (TR023). So you can design post-installed rebars into your build using the same principles as for any reinforced concrete design.

POST-INSTALLED REBAR AND HILTI SAFESET™ SYSTEM

Post-installed rebar systems are also:

very flexible,
useful for a wide range of applications,
and can work in shallow areas of concrete.

Our Hilti SafeSet™ system helps speed up post-installed rebar installation. Hilti SafeSet™ vacuums up dust while drilling, minimizing dust and cutting out the need to manually cleaning the drilled hole.
