What is Fastening on Steel?

The Fastening on Steel (FoS) system is made up of two types of corrosion resistant studs from Hilti – S-BT and X-BT HL. The SB-T threaded studs are screwed directly onto painted steel structures. Whereas, the X-BT HL threaded studs are fastened by friction welding.

FoS is especially suitable for field support and late-stage modification of multi-discipline applications, grating and earthing/bonding of electrical systems. The installation of FoS is done using only battery powered tools and this method makes grinding, welding and repainting unnecessary.
