Staifix Wall Ties

Product catalog summary

Product Overview: The document details the specifications and applications of Staifix Cavity Wall Ties, specifically the HRT4 Light Duty and RT2 Medium Duty types. These ties are manufactured by Ancon Building Products and are designed for use in various construction scenarios.

Specifications: The HRT4 ties are classified as Type 4/Type A, suitable for internal separating walls and external walls of houses up to 10 meters. The RT2 ties are Type 2, suitable for residential and small commercial developments up to 15 meters. Both types are available in lengths of 200mm, 225mm, 250mm, and 275mm.

Material and Design: The ties are made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and feature specially designed safety ends to reduce injury risk. They have multiple drips to prevent water crossing the cavity and are value-engineered to minimize thermal loss.

Installation Guidance: Wall ties should be installed at a density of at least 2.5 per square meter, with increased density around openings and unbonded edges. They should be embedded 62.5-75mm in each leaf and kept clear of mortar droppings.

Compliance and Standards: The document references PD6697 for wall tie classification by strength and use, and Approved Document E for sound resistance in internal walls. HRT4 ties comply with Type 4 and Type A standards, while RT2 ties comply with Type 2 standards.

Packaging: Staifix ties are packaged in stackable boxes for easy handling and storage. HRT4 and RT2 ties are distinguishable by their packaging design, aiding in correct on-site usage.

Applications and Limitations: The document notes restrictions for use in tall buildings, particularly in exposed coastal sites or high altitudes. For applications outside specified parameters, consultation with a local stockist or Ancon is advised.
