FAQs

What cavity widths are these ties suitable for?

These 300mm ties are specifically designed for cavity walls ranging from 151mm to 175mm in width.

Can I use these for a three-story building?

These are rated for buildings up to 10 metres in height, which generally covers typical two-story residential homes.

Will these ties rust over time?

No, they are manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and atmospheric corrosion.

Are these suitable for timber-frame houses?

Yes, these ties are compatible with timber-framed, stainless steel-framed, and traditional block wall structures.

What is the purpose of the multi-drip design?

The drip design is intended to stop water from traveling across the wall tie, preventing moisture from reaching the inner wall leaf.

How many ties are included in the pack?

This specific pack (MPN: FN109_50PK) includes 50 individual wall ties.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty fitting tie into mortar joint

Ensure the mortar joint is clean and free of hardened debris; use a mortar tool to clear the slot if necessary.

Moisture appearing on interior walls

Verify that ties are installed with the drip feature facing downwards and that no mortar bridging exists on the tie.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resists rust and corrosion due to high-grade 304 stainless steel
  • Multi-drip system prevents moisture transfer
  • Suitable for a variety of frame and wall types
  • Reliable structural support for buildings up to 10m tall

Cons

  • Not suitable for cavity widths smaller than 151mm or larger than 175mm
  • Not intended for structures exceeding 10 metres in height
  • Requires precise installation to ensure effective structural bonding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, verify that the wall cavity measures between 151mm and 175mm before installation. For masonry construction, embed the tie at least 50mm into the mortar bed. These ties require no specific maintenance once installed, as the 304 stainless steel naturally resists atmospheric corrosion. When storing unused ties, keep them in a dry environment to ensure they remain clean and free from construction debris or site contaminants that could affect the bond quality.
