Product Information

Full details

The AB Tools Type 4 Cavity Wall Tie is designed for professional builders and masonry contractors who require a reliable, corrosion-resistant solution for cavity wall construction in residential and commercial buildings up to 10 metres high. Its key benefit is the integration of high-grade 304 stainless steel and a double drip feature that prevents moisture migration across the cavity; however, users should ensure the 225mm length specifically matches their cavity width requirement of 76-100mm to ensure structural compliance.

FAQs

What cavity width does this tie support?

This specific model is designed for cavity widths ranging between 76mm and 100mm.

Can I use these in coastal areas?

Are these ties suitable for buildings taller than 10 metres?

No, these specific Type 4 ties are rated for use in buildings up to 10 metres in height.

What does the double drip feature do?

The double drip design interrupts the flow of moisture across the tie, preventing water from traveling from the outer wall to the inner wall.

Are these compliant with UK building regulations?

Yes, the product is compliant with BS EN 845-1, which is the standard for masonry accessories.

How many ties come in a pack?

Troubleshooting

Tie appears loose in the mortar

Ensure the mortar bed is of the correct ratio and that the tie is pressed firmly into the wet mortar to ensure full surface coverage.

Difficulty inserting tie into timber frame

Verify that you are using the correct fixing component for the timber frame side and that the embedment depth meets the specific structural design specifications for your project.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior resistance to corrosion and rust
  • Meets BS EN 845-1 safety standards
  • Prevents moisture ingress with double drip technology
  • Highly compatible with various building materials

Cons

  • Length is fixed to 225mm for 76-100mm cavities
  • Requires professional installation tools for proper embedding
  • Not suitable for structures exceeding 10 metres in height

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For proper installation, ensure that the masonry units are clean and that the mortar bed is of the correct thickness and strength. Embed the tie firmly into the mortar, ensuring the drip portion of the tie hangs freely within the air gap between the two walls to function as intended. Compatibility is broad, covering standard blockwork, timber frame stud work, and steel framing systems. No special maintenance is required once the wall is finished, thanks to the inherent properties of the 304 stainless steel, which maintains its integrity indefinitely under normal building conditions.
