Simpson Stainless Steel Helical Tie Timber Frame 180mm (1 Unit) (HELI05180A2)
Type 6 stainless steel timber frame wall tie for fixing masonry facades to wood frame structures in new build and retrofit applications.
Ties are fixed directly into the timber frame studs. The frame tie is encapsulated within the mortar bed at the outer leaf connection. A continuous helix ensures multiple drip points between the timber frame and the masonry wall that prevent moisture crossing the cavity.
Rolled and twisted, helical ties have a nominal diameter of 5mm and a cross section of just 6.25mm2.
Suitable for use with cavities ranging from 50mm to 125mm. Various sizes are available to suit different cavities.
Can be used in conjunction with IRC insulation retaining clip where insulation has to be retained in the cavity.
An installation tool is required to hammer the tie into the timber frame or use the SDS drill installation tool.
