The Helifix Terracotta Tie secures fragile terracotta facings and delicate decorations and features which have become loose or are suffering from stress fractures.

Applications

  • Developed specifically to secure fragile terracotta facings and delicate decorations and features which have become loose or are suffering from stress fractures.
  • It has an 8mm diameter over the majority of its length with a short 10mm section at one end to grip the soft terra cotta without enlarging the pilot hole.
  • It is installed in the same manner as standard DryFix ties to provide a rapid, reliable and concealed solution.

Installation

/

Step 1.

Drill a small pilot hole through the terracotta and into the backup material using a rotary percussion drill (3-jaw-chuck- type).

Step 2.

Load the tie into the insertion tool fitted to an electric hammer drill (SDS type).

Step 3.

The tie is power driven into position (with SDS hammer drill) until the outer end of the tie is automatically recessed below the face of the terracotta. Make good the entry hole with matching materials. In thin walled terracotta, the tie may need to be left flush with the surface.
