TurboTie is a new build stainless steel wall tie for rapidly securing outer leaf masonry to inner leaf aircrete blocks, interlocking panels and ‘thin joint’ systems, overcoming absent or misaligned mortar beds.
1. Load tie into hand held or power support tool. Position as required as outer leaf masonry is constructed. Drive directly into low density blocks through insulation and fit retaining clip (bricks and concrete require small pilot hole).
2. Outer end of tie fully embedded in mortar of masonry leaf.
- One-piece grade 304 or 316 stainless steel tie.
- Rapid, easy, hammer or power driven installation.
- Can be installed through insulation.
- High performance stress-free connection.
- Great axial strength resists all wind loads.
- Multiple drip points prevent cross cavity water transfer.
- Overcomes problems of absent or misaligned mortar beds and ‘thin joint’ bonds.
- No splitting or cracking of blocks or panels.
- No disturbance to green masonry.
- No pre-drilling in aircrete; tie simply driven home.
- Avoids need for expensive, two-part, rigid frame cramp ties.
- Rotational flexibility accommodates normal building movement.
