static, wind, and seismic tension and shear loads in
cracked and uncracked normal-weight concrete and sandlightweight concrete having a specified compressive
strength, fc, 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 /8-inch- and /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, fc, 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].

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 m
(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 sand-lightweight concrete
conform to Sections 1903 and 1905 of the IBC.

must

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
minimum base steel thickness of 0.035 inch (0.899 mm).
Steel must comply with ASTM A653/A653M SS Grade 33

4.3 Installation:
Installation parameters are provided in Tables 1 and 6 and
Figures 2, 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D. Anchor locations must
comply with this report and plans and specifications
approved by the code official. The Hilti KB-TZ must be
installed in accordance with manufacturers published

5.5 Strength design values must be established in

accordance with Section 4.1 of this report.
5.6 Allowable design values
accordance with Section 4.2.

are

established

in

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.

ESR-1917 | Most Widely Accepted and Trusted

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-resistancerated 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
elements.

Page 5 of 14
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 preservativetreated 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 June 2012, (editorially revised April
2015), which incorporates requirements in ACI 355.207 / 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
manufacturers 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.

The minimum thickness of the fastened part is based on use of the anchor at minimum embedment and is controlled by the length of thread. If a
thinner fastening thickness is required, increase the anchor embedment to suit.

Installations must comply with Sections 4.1.10 and 4.3 and Figures 5A, 5B and 5C of this report.

The values for p in tension and sa in shear can be found in Table 3 of this report.

The characteristic pullout resistance for concrete compressive strengths greater than 3,000 psi may be increased by
1/2
1/2
multiplying the value in the table by (f ' c / 3000) for psi or (f 'c / 20.7) for MPa [minimum of 24 MPa is required under
ADIBC Appendix L, Section 5.1.1].

The values listed must be used in accordance with Section 4.1.4 of this report.

The values listed must be used in accordance with Sections 4.1.4 and 4.1.8.2 of this report.

The values listed must be used in accordance with Section 4.1.5 of this report.
The values listed must be used in accordance with Section 4.1.8.3 of this report. Values are applicable to both static
