Heavy duty cavity and shear wall tie applications across all building heights

The ACS 2000 Range Tie is a multipurpose tie designed in accordance with all relevant standards, dependant on use.

Its first use is as a cavity tie where it can be classified as a Type 1 tie in line with PD6697. The 2000 Range Tie also has the added capability to be used as a movement tie*, designed to tie two panels of masonry together at a vertical movement joint. The tie provides lateral resistance to wind loading whilst allowing expansion and contraction of the masonry panel to prevent cracking. Through the use of an ACS debonding sleeve, it is designed to allow in axis movement of up to +/- 10mm. The final use of the product is as a shear tie across such scenarios as a collar jointed wall.

The tie formed section and the integrated drip features act to prevent water from crossing the cavity. The minimum mortar joint thickness that this tie is intended for is 10mm.

The ACS 2000 Range Tie is available in Grades 304 (BS EN 1.4301) and Grade 316 (BS EN 1.4401) austenitic stainless steel.
