This AB Tools Type 4 Cavity Wall Tie is designed for builders constructing cavity walls in houses, offices, and outhouses, offering a stable connection between two layers of masonry for buildings up to 10m high. Its key benefit is the robust, corrosion-resistant Grade 304 stainless steel construction, ensuring longevity even in wet conditions, complemented by a double drip feature to prevent moisture transfer. A potential consideration is its specific cavity width suitability (101-125mm).
It is made from high-quality Grade 304 (18/8 austenitic) stainless steel, known for its excellent corrosion resistance.
The double drip feature prevents moisture from traveling across the cavity from the external wall, thus avoiding damp issues in the building's interior.
This wall tie is suitable for buildings up to 10 meters high and conforms to BS EN 845-1 standards.
It is designed for cavity widths ranging from 101mm to 125mm.
Yes, it is suitable for timber-framed structures, stainless steel-framed structures, and traditional block walls.
Each pack contains 10 wall ties.
No, Grade 304 stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for external building applications.
Verify the cavity width. This tie is designed for 101-125mm cavities. If the cavity is narrower or wider, a different sized tie may be required.
Ensure the double drip feature is correctly positioned in the center of the cavity to direct moisture away from the inner wall. Check that mortar completely encapsulates the tie.
This tie is rated for buildings up to 10m high. For taller structures, consult building regulations and specialized structural components.
Setup: Install the wall tie by embedding one end into the mortar joint of the inner leaf of masonry and the other end into the mortar joint of the outer leaf. Ensure the tie is level and spans the cavity, with the drip feature positioned centrally within the cavity to effectively channel water away. Refer to local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for precise spacing and placement.
Compatibility: This wall tie is compatible with traditional block walls, timber-framed structures, and stainless steel-framed buildings. It is designed for cavity widths of 101mm to 125mm and buildings up to 10 meters in height.
Care: As the wall tie is made from Grade 304 stainless steel, it requires no specific ongoing care. Its material composition inherently resists corrosion and degradation. Ensure during construction that the tie is fully encased in mortar for optimal performance.
