Before use verify that the element is dry and free of oil and other
contaminants.
For easy installation insert the rebar slowly twisted into the drill hole
until the embedment mark is at the concrete surface level.
For overhead application:
During insertion of the rebar, mortar might flow out of the borehole.
For collection of the flowing mortar, HIT-OHC may be used.
Support the rebar and secure it from falling till mortar started to
harden, e.g. using wedges HIT-OHW.
For overhead installation use piston plugs and fix embedded parts
with e.g. wedges.
After installing the rebar the annular gap must be completely filled
with mortar.
