Verified by manufacturer 24 days ago
Channel system and channel ties designed to tie brickwork to steel studding, concrete or timber frame.
Application
Ties offering vertical movement with horizontal restraint.
Suitable for tying masonry to steel frame, concrete or timber frame.
Description
Channel system and channel ties designed to tie brickwork to steel studding, concrete or timber frame.
Features and benefits:
- Channel is non-combustible (as defined in the national Building Regulations) and has excellent corrosion resistance and a service life of not less than 60 years.
- Manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel.
- VS9 ties are used with the channel to tie across the cavity into the masonry bed joint. The ties can be placed at any point along the length of the channel allowing full restraint to be maintained.
- Self-drill/ self-tap screws fix through the channel and insulation into the steel studding. The screws have an under head high thread which offers maximum support to the channel whilst preventing compression of the insulation material.
- Self-tapping, fully-threaded screws are for use when fixing to concrete. The fasteners must be used in conjunction with a compression sleeve.
