Each diameter of HDI and HDI-L requires a different setting tool.

HDI-L/HDI Standard Hand Setting Tool – to be used with a hammer for installing the HDI-L and HDI drop in anchors.

There are four different types of setting tools that are used for setting the HDI anchors in the concrete: The HDI-S is made from carbon steel that is zinc plated and is not available in stainless steel. The speed thread drop-in anchors are specifically designed and used with coil rod and cannot be used with any other type of threaded item.

HDI-S Speed Thread Drop-in Anchor – available in only one diameter of 1/2”.

The HDI-L is perfect for repetitive applications such as suspending threaded rod for a pipe run where distance from the surface, the concrete, and the pipe is critical.

The hole in the concrete can be any depth longer than the length of the anchor being used.

HDI-L Flush Drop-in Anchor – available in three diameters of 1/4”, 3/8” and 1/2” and is manufactured with a lip on the threaded end to provide consistent depth and flush installation.

The setting tool used with the HDI-P is designed to leave a mark on the lip of the anchor to allow an inspector to determine that the HDI-P has been set properly. The HDI-P has a lip that allows for flush installation and ensures consistent anchor depth. The shallow embedment requirement cuts down drilling time for fast installation.

HDI-P Short Drop-in Anchor – specifically designed for use in hollow core panel, precast and post tension concrete applications where maximum embedment requirements equal 3/4”.

The use of a setting tool is required for each of the five diameters of HDI concrete anchors.

HDI SS 303 Drop-in Anchor – manufactured from 303 stainless steel, meets the same wide variety of applications and allows shallow embedment without sacrificing holding power and can be set below the surface of the concrete.

A setting tool is required to set the HDI into the concrete.

There are five diameters of HDI: 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8” and 3/4”, and each diameter of HDI is manufactured in one length.

HDI Drop-in Anchor– manufactured from carbon steel and zinc plated, meets a wide range of application requirements, allows shallow embedment and setting below the surface of the concrete.

There are five different types of HDI drop-in anchors, each of which are designed for specific applications: Hilti drop-in anchors are a female anchor that require a setting tool to be used to set the HDI in the concrete before inserting a bolt or threaded rod. Hilti drop in anchors referred to as HDI, are a drop-in anchor designed for use in solid concrete.
