Vertical Control Gap Tie

Description

Ensure the longevity of your masonry with this sliding tie, which creates a vertical control gap. This gap allows for vertical in-plane expansion up to 40mm in brick and block walls. The tie doesn't just enable movement; it also secures masonry against lateral wind loads and features a de-bonding slide that effectively manages and absorbs differential movement, preventing internal stresses.

  • Clay brick / block work
  • Tested to a control gap of 40mm
  • Universal applications
  • Australian design & tested AS/NZS 2699.2:2020
