This guide is for builders and contractors working on domestic houses and small commercial buildings up to two storeys high. The TIMco Light Duty Type 4 Wall Ties offer superior corrosion resistance for secure masonry cavity wall construction, even in challenging environments. A potential consideration is their suitability for heights up to 10m. Key features include A2 Stainless Steel construction, a tangle-free design, and a 225mm length.

These wall ties are designed for light-duty applications in masonry cavity walls for domestic houses and small commercial buildings up to two storeys and a maximum height of 10m.
Yes, the A2 Stainless Steel construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making them suitable for use in corrosive environments, including coastal areas.
Yes, the A2 Stainless Steel material is specified for use with base materials that have inherent corrosive characteristics, such as Green Oak.
These wall ties are suitable for buildings with a maximum height of 10 meters.
'Light Duty' indicates the application suitability, generally for non-load-bearing or semi-load-bearing walls in smaller structures. 'Type 4' refers to a specific design standard or classification within wall tie systems.
The tangle-free design ensures that the wall ties do not easily knot or bind together during handling, storage, and installation, leading to a more efficient and less frustrating construction process.
The ties are manufactured from Austenitic Stainless Steel, specifically A2-304 grade, which offers superior corrosion resistance.
Ensure ties are stored loosely and not compacted. The 'tangle-free design' is optimized for standard handling; avoid aggressive or forceful manipulation. If tangling persists, check for any packaging or binding material that may be causing the issue.
This is highly unlikely with A2 Stainless Steel. If corrosion is suspected, verify the material specification of the tie and assess the surrounding environment for unusually aggressive corrosive agents not typically encountered in standard construction.
Ensure mortar is of the correct consistency (not too wet or too dry) and that joints are adequately filled. Clean excess mortar from the face of the brickwork *after* the tie has been set to avoid impeding future work.
Setup:
Wall ties should be installed according to building regulations and manufacturer guidelines. Typically, they are inserted into pre-formed cavities between the inner and outer masonry leaves. Ensure the ties are fully embedded in both the inner and outer mortar joints for maximum effectiveness. Use appropriate spacing as dictated by structural requirements and local building codes.
Compatibility:
These ties are designed for light-duty masonry cavity walls in buildings up to 10m in height. They are compatible with common brick, block, and stone masonry. Their A2 Stainless Steel construction makes them suitable for use with a wide range of building materials, including those with potential corrosive characteristics like treated timber or certain types of stone.
Care:
Being A2 Stainless Steel, these wall ties require minimal specific care once installed. Their inherent corrosion resistance means they will not rust or degrade under normal exposure. Ensure that during construction, no excessive forces are applied to the ties that could compromise their integrity before the mortar has fully cured.
