| The
versatile FIX wall tie replacement system can be used to tie together a
large range of differing materials like timber, air-crete blocks, clay bricks,
stone, concrete blocks and steel beams. |

| Installation
Procedure: |
| 1.)
Drill clearance hole in outer leaf. |
|
| |
| 2.)
If required drill pilot hole in inner leaf. |
|
| |
| 3.)
Use support tool to drive tie into inner leaf. |
|
| |
| 4.)
Load test tie to required site loads. |
|
| |
| 5.)
Fill clearance hole with RESIN to bond tie to outer leaf. |

REMEDIAL
WALL TIE SYSTEM WITH A HELICAL FIXING IN THE INNER LEAF AND A RESIN FIXING
ON THE OUTER LEAF. |

| FIX
TIES are manufactured out of 304 or 316 Stainless Steel and have been independently
testing using a common range of building materials by the University of
Portsmouth material testing department in accordance with BS 1243 and DD140.
They can be installed quickly and easily by drilling a clearance hole through
the outer leaf. Then depending on inner leaf material install either a 6mm
or 8mm tie varier a pilot hole in the inner leaf if required. FIX TIES are
a stress free fixing, allowing them to be installed close to the edge of
bricks/blocks and concrete without causing any splitting or cracking. When
being used for tying cavity masonry the constant helix of FIX TIES gives
multi water drips, stopping water transfer across cavities. The low cross
sectional area of FIX TIES gives good sound proofing qualities and allows
lateral flexibility to overcome any misalignment or seasonal thermal movement
while still maintaining the required resistance to wind-loads. |
