Form Ties / Tie Rod

Form-Tie/Tie Rod holds wall/column formwork against fresh concrete pressure. Prefer 15/10 mm EN8D steel ties (safe load 75 kN, ultimate 150 kN) with PVC cone, cone plug, tube, tube plug and water barrier from the same manufacturer. Ensure full tightness before pour, keep buried ties beyond min cover; never use rebar as tie or weld ties.
