Can a Hilti MP-PS 2-2 pipe shoe be used as a fixed point or anchor point?
Yes. On standard non painted pipes the MP-PS 2-2 pipe shoe can be used as a fixed point or anchor point when the shoe is fixed directly to a pipe support member or base material. If fixing to a Hilti MT pipe support member, the MP-PS 2-2 pipe shoe can be fixed directly to the MT member using standard MT-TFB thread forming bolts or used in conjunction with fixed point brackets such as the MT-FPS-FF OC. If fixing directly to a concrete base material, the shoe can be fixed using standard concrete anchors. Capacity of the pipe support or concrete anchors should also be checked in each case.
The maximum axial load capacity for an MP-PS 2-2 pipe shoe without a mechanical stopper is 10.233kN (design load capacity). If axial capacity > 10.233kN is required a mechanical stopper should be installed to prevent the pipe from slipping through the pipe clamp.
