ACS 3000 Range Tie

The ACS 3000 Range Tie is a multi purpose frame cramp designed in accordance with the requirements of BS EN 845-1. The tie is designed to allow a masonry panel to be tied back to a range of structures/substrates meaning one tie can fulfil a range of applications on site. The advanced punched and pressed profile of the tie means that it is capable of withstanding high loads as a result of its increased sectional properties.

The 3000 Range Tie also has the added capability to be used as a movement tie, designed to tie two panels of masonry together at a vertical movement joint. The tie provides lateral resistance to wind loading whilst allowing expansion and contraction of the masonry panel to prevent cracking. Through the use of an ACS debonding sleeve, it is designed to allow in axis movement of up to +/- 10mm.

The tie’s formed section and the integrated drip features act to prevent water from crossing the cavity. The minimum mortar joint thickness for which this tie is intended for use is 10mm.

The ACS 3000 Range Tie is available in Grades 304 (BS EN 1.4301) and Grade 316 (BS EN 1.4401) austenitic stainless steel.
