Column Tie (Steelwork/Masonry)

The ACS column tie eliminates the time consuming traditional process of site drilling and bolting frame cramps when fixing masonry to steelwork. It allows for variations in coursing and can be used on a range of steel columns.

The column flange must enter the notch in the tie not less than 10mm. The tie must not be forced on to the flange. The tie will provide restraint between the inner and outer leaves of masonry cavity walls.

It is advisable to apply bitumen paint to the area where the column and the tie make contact. This will avoid the likelihood of any corrosion on the column due to the contact of two dissimilar materials.

The ACS column tie exceeds the requirements of a Type 2 tie to DD140.
