Quick Overview
A rapid fixing replacement wall tie, simply drill the hole, clean, then insert the tie put the special key in your drill and tighten the tie.
Details
The 'Easi-Fix stainless steel wall tie is the reliable double mechanical precision pre-torqued replacement wall tie that sets new standards in replacement wall ties. Its unique special stainless steel precision limited torque nut combined with the precision modified stainless steel bar provides a fixing system which permits:
* Rapid continuous fixing to both inner and outer leafs in under ten seconds.
* Ensures inner leaf fixes to pre-torqued level before outer leaf engages
* Pre-torque setting reliably produces pull out figures of over 2.5 kilo newtons.
* Independent pull testing of the inner leaf AFTER fixing into the wall allows any or every tie to be pull tested on the inner leaf after initial fixing if required.
* Can be easily fitted using a power drill or a single manual tool for fast, efficient low cost installation.
Please see the technical data sheet for fixing instructions.
Please note: you will require a 5mm Easi-Fix Auto key to fix these ties. These ties require a 10mm hole to fix properly we suggest a 10mm x 310mm drill bit.
How does it work? Simply and reliably..
The combination of the special stainless steel precision limited torque nut and the precision modified bar means that initial rotations of the nut are inhibited by the bar. This allows the bar to rotate and the inner expander to engage with and tighten onto the inner wall leaf. At the correct pre-designed torque the in-built resistance offered by the special nut and bar combination is overcome, allowing the nut to rotate down the bar and tighten the outer expander to similarly engage with and tighten onto the outer wall leaf.
The quality of fix for the inner leaf can be readily proven by loosening the outer expander through the use of a manual key and securing an industry standard pull tester to the bar. After pull testing has been carried out the outer leaf can be re-tightened.
Fixing Instructions
1. Drill a l0mm hole to a minimum depth of 55mm into the inner leaf. Remove dust and debris.
2. Insert the Easi-Fix tie into the hole until the tie hits the end of the hole.
3. Insert special ‘Easi-Fix’ key into drill and fit over special torque nut on the tie. Run nut slowly down the bar until resistance is met - the tie is now fixed. Do not over tighten. Ideally drills should be run at slow speed and high torque setting for the most efficient fix. For example a Bosch GSR 9.6 V Cordless Drill should be operated at Speed 1 and Torque Setting 5 (maximum).
4. To pull test a tie fix the manual outer key over the special black torque nut and turn anti clockwise two revolutions only. This will release the outer leaf and allow the inner leaf which is still fixed to be pull tested. After pull testing has been completed re-tighten the outer leaf with the manual key. Make good with matching mortar or mastic.
