The multi-drip feature is designed to prevent moisture from bridging the cavity, reducing the risk of water penetration and structural damage.

What standards do these ties meet?

The HRT4 ties are BBA approved and meet the technical requirements of the NHBC and are CE marked.

What materials are the HRT4 ties made of?

Troubleshooting

Tie doesn't fit the cavity.

Verify the cavity width and ensure the correct tie size (HRT4) is being used. If the cavity width is outside the 76-100mm range, a different tie type may be needed.

Moisture is penetrating the cavity.

Check the installation of the ties. Ensure the multi-drip feature is correctly oriented downwards and that the ties are not damaged. Also, check for any gaps or cracks in the mortar or wall materials.

Ties are not aligned correctly.

Re-position the ties, ensuring they are level and properly embedded in both the inner and outer walls. Use a level and measuring tape to ensure accuracy.
