HIT Steel to concrete connection

HIT Steel to concrete connection

Steel balconies, steel canopies or solar shading systems are generally connected to reinforced concrete components. Because of the high thermal conductivity of steel, an efficient thermal separation in the connection is essential to prevent thermal bridges as these cause higher energy consumption.

HALFEN HIT Steel to concrete connectors reduce thermal bridges to a minimum with simultaneous high load transfer capabilities. Two product lines are already available:
  • HIT-HP High Performance with an insulation thickness of 80mm
  • HIT-SP Superior Performance with an insulation thickness of 120mm

Quality features

  • Thermal insulating fire protection material with material class A1 – non inflammable insulating material
  • Building Authority Approval including determination of the equivalent thermal conductivity (λeq)
  • type tested
  • Corrosion protection - The stainless steels used correspond to corrosion resistance class III/medium

Benefits

  • Stepless vertical adjustment of the steel construction with inclined perforated plate
  • Robust box - weather resistance, reliable protection of the insulation material
  • Pre-fitted installation aid - as an aid for installation and adjustment on the formwork

Extreme adaptability

The following types of insulated connection are available:

HIT-HP SDV and HIT-SP SDV
For freely cantilevered steel elements, designed to transfer positive and negative bending moments, positive and negative shear forces, as well as forces parallel to the joint in both directions.

HIT-HP SMV and HIT-SP SMV
For freely cantilevered steel elements, designed to transfer negative bending moments, positive and negative shear forces, as well as forces parallel to the joint in both directions.

HIT-HP SZV and HIT-SP SZ
For simply supported elements connected to reinforced concrete slabs, designed to transfer positive and negative shear forces, as well as forces parallel to the joint in both directions.

All types are available with 80 mm (HIT-HP) and 120 mm (HIT-SP) insulation thickness.
