3. Fastener Selection Fromtheinformationinsection2.thefasteningtypeandfrequencycanbedetermined.Hilti do not believe that Gas actuated tools and fixings are suitable for this application, as the energy of the GX100/120 is not sufficient to perform a flush fixing.

3.1 Temporary Load OnlyForfasteningswhicharerequiredtotakea‘temporaryload’onlyduringtheconstructionphase,thefollowingfastenerscanbeconsidered:

Design conditions:• Recommended working loads valid for steel sheet with minimum tensile strength ≥ 360 N/mm2.

• In case of a design based on the characteristic resistance, recommended values have tobe multiplied by two: => NRk = Nrec · 2.0 VRk = Vrec · 2.0

• Redundancy (multiple fastening) must be provided.

• Valid for predominantly static loading
