1 Allowable loads represent the capacity of the Hilti Grating System only. The capacity of the grating must be investigated in accordance with accepted design criteria.
2 Unless otherwise noted, load values are limited by plastic deformation of the X-FCM disk.
3 Allowable load value is limited by Allowable load for threaded stud. Reference Sections 3.2.13, 3.2.14, 3.2.15.
4 X-FCM-M and X-FCM-R Fastening Systems resist shear by friction and are not suitable for explicit shear load designs (e.g. diaphragms). Depending on surface characteristics, shear loads of
up to 65 lb (0.3 kN) will not result in permanent deformation. Therefore, small unexpected shear loads can generally be accommodated without damage.
