1000 Range Wall Tie

Details

Details

The ACS 1000 range wall tie design is for use on domestic houses and small commercial buildings up to three storeys or 15 metres in height. It can be used in cavities up to 100mm.

It meets and exceeds the requirements of a type 2 tie as stated in PD 6697.

Wall ties should be built into each leaf with a minimum embedment of 50mm. However, ACS recommends an embedment of 62.5mm to allow for site tolerances.

For assistance with the specification of wall ties, please feel free to contact our Technical Team.

Technical Data

The ACS 1000 range wall tie is available in grades 304 and 316 austenitic stainless steel and available in lengths of 200mm, 225mm and 250mm. According to BS EN 845-1 a Type 2 wire tie is suitable for buildings up to 15m in height and should be installed at a density of 2.5 ties/m2. ACS recommends that the wall ties are installed with a nominal embedment of 62.5mm, the wire ties can be installed either way round due to the multi-drip feature, which prevents moisture from travelling across the cavity.

Test Results

Testing was undertaken at CERAM Building Technology which proved that the 1000 range wire tie has a measured dynamic stiffness of 12.5MN/m3 in a 100mm cavity and therefore is classed as a Type B tie in Part E of the building regulations.
