WALL TIES
Wall Tie Installation
Symmetrical Ancon wall ties (HRT4, RT2, ST1 and Teplo-BF) accommodate some site
tolerance in their length, for both cavity width variation and centring of the tie. In line with
PD6697: 2010 and Approved Document A, the minimum wall tie embedment is 50mm.
Longer wall ties will be required where cavities are outside the tolerance offered.
For walls in which both leaves are 90mm or thicker, ties should be installed at not less
than 2.5 per square metre (900mm x 450mm vertical centres).

This tie is suitable for use in masonry up to 8 metres in height. For buildings in particularly exposed areas, especially if the wall is
higher than 5 metres or the construction is single leaf, it would be advisable to carry out a check calculation using the wind code and
increase the density of starter ties if necessary.

Notes:
1. This system is also suitable for rendered/plastered walls
2. Vertical spacing is normally every 4 to 6 brick courses
(300 - 450mm), however this should be checked with the
structural engineer
3. Where cracks are within 500mm from corners or reveals,
the bar should be bent and bonded 100mm around the corner
4. If two or more cracks are close together, bars can be lapped.
Laps should be at least 500mm and the bar should extend
500mm from the outer cracks

It is essential that the cause of the cracking is established by a structural engineer
and then eliminated, prior to the installation of this system.

Helical Nails for Warm Roof Construction
Helical nails are a quick and reliable fixing for use in warm roof applications. Unlike
traditional nails, they rotate as they are driven in, inducing a self-tapping action and
consequently do not split or bounce timbers.

HeliCalc is a free web-based program which calculates the length,
density and quantity of Super-7 nails required for a specific project.
