Troubleshooting

Wall tie not fitting the cavity properly

Ensure you have selected the correct model for the specified cavity width (76-100mm). If the cavity is wider or narrower, a different size wall tie is required.

Concerns about moisture transfer

Verify that the 'double drip' feature is correctly oriented to face downwards within the cavity. Ensure the tie is fully embedded in the mortar of both leaves.

Tie appears to be corroding (rare for Grade 304)

This is highly unusual for Grade 304 stainless steel. If observed, inspect the surrounding mortar and wall for issues that might be causing abnormal environmental conditions.
