New productItem #r22143818
Installation kit for installing glass balustrades and handrails, including HIT-HY 270 mortar, EP foam positioning aids and HIT-RE 60-glass mixer attachments
- Storage and transportation temperature range: 5 - 25 °C
Features & Applications
- Faster glass pane installations – instal glass-balustrades and handrails up to 2.5 times faster than traditional installation methods thanks to an innovative adhesive installation system
- Enhanced safety – HIT-RE 60 Glass mixer attachment enables mortar injection from the inner side of the glass pane, eliminating the risk associated with working on the exposed side panels at height
- Simplified maintenance – the HIT-HY 270 mortar does not bond to the glass, allowing you to easily remove and replace panes as needed
- Do more with less – the HIT-Glass system enables design optimisation, helping to reduce overall mortar consumption and material costs
- User friendly system for glass balustrade installation – automatic mixing of the components helps to ensure high quality mortar and reliable installations every time
- Ideal for serial installation of glass panels into metal shoes
- Fastening glass panes for internal and external glass balustrades and handrails
- Fastening glass panes on curved and vertically inclined surfaces (up to 35°) in glass balustrade applications

HIT-Glass system
A faster, simpler, and safer solution for glass balustrades and handrails
Glass balustrades and handrails can be complex and time-consuming to design, install and maintain. But with the HIT-Glass system we've simplified the whole process. For installers, the HIT-Glass system helps provide a faster, simpler and safer method for the glazing of glass balustrades and handrails. For engineers, HIT-Glass offers high-performing, code-compliant, and value-engineered designs thanks to Hilti PROFIS Engineering software. You also get greater peace of mind as the HIT-Glass system simplifies installation, helping to reduce human error during installation.
For installers: Benefits of HIT-Glass for glass balustrades
Increased productivity
Install glass-balustrades up to 2.5 times faster than traditional installation methods, depending on conditions,
Enhanced safety
Inject mortar all from the inner side of the glass pane, reducing the height risk of working on the exposed side panels.
Simplified maintenance
Remove and replace glass panels with ease – unlike grout, HIT-HY 270 adhesive anchor doesn't chemically bond to the glass or metal shoe.
Reduced waste
The HIT-Glass foam positioning aids act like formwork for the mortar. Only the mortar you need for your application goes into the metal shoe.
