What are Snap Ties?
How does a Concrete Snap Tie work?
Concrete Snap Ties are used for vertical concrete wall forming. When applied, the snap tie is used to resist lateral movement from fresh concrete. Most Snap ties include two 1″ plastic cones. The plastic cones set the wall dimension and cover the plywood hole. After the plywood hole is stripped, the plastic cone and exposed tie end are removed with a twist.
Attributes of a Concrete Snap Tie
Equally important, Standard and High Strength Snap ties are made from high tensile wires; which have integral heads formed on each end. The integral heads come in standard rounds heads or hex heads. Moreover, Snap ties are equipped with flat spots to prevent turning in the concrete during removal. Available in any length from 6″ to 480″. Similarly, often equipped with a plastic cone, a flat fixed washer or cupped loose washer are also available upon request. Lastly, Snap ties can be manufactured with a tight fitting neoprene washer located near the center of the tie to eliminate water seepage along the tie. Stainless Steel Snap ties are also available.
