Steel Dog Snap-Coil Ties for making adjustable ties and for one-sided forming

The Steel Dog® Snap-Coil™ Tie is a multipurpose Transition Tie™ for “job-built” plywood concrete forms. With a standard-duty, button head snap tie electronically welded to a two-strut, ½” coil tie end, the Snap-Coil™ Tie allows the user to take advantage of the versatility of threaded coil rod for one-sided forming, long ties, and other purposes, while still using familiar, low-labor-cost means of attachment to formwork (slotted wedges, Jahn brackets). TYPICAL USES: One-sided forming (with epoxied coil rod, drop-in anchors, or other hardware) Making on-the-spot long ties with a length of ½”coil rod Adjustable length ties (battered walls, unusual forming situations) Blind side walls with Stay-Form® stay-in-place expanded metal mesh panels and Steel Dog® Rebar Hooks. MATERIAL: Snap tie end and wire struts: AISI C1038 carbon steel. FINISH: None. (Zinc coatings available: consult factory.) MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING LOAD: 2250 Lbs. (Based on approximately 2-to-1 safety factor). INSTALLATION: ALL APPLICATIONS ½”coil rod must be threaded completely through coil and extend at least 1/4” past coil Do not bend any portion of tie. Bent or damaged ties will fail at less than rated load: do not use

ADJUSTABLE LENGTH TIES
Snap-Coil™ Ties can be threaded back-to-back to create long or unusual length ties with different end configurations. For example, a 27½” tie with a long tail on one end and a short tail on the other can be easily assembled on-the-spot from standard SC's. Avoid the long wait and extra charges for custom-made ties.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS: Battered walls Mass pours Pile caps Pilasters Emergencies
Ties made with Snap-Coil™ Ties have the additional advantages of: Field adjustability of length (esp. useful for battered walls) Reliable strength (all components are threaded-together, load-rated components, eliminating concerns about the strength of field welds or bolted connections with other long-tie techniques)



ONE-SIDED FORMING
Snap-Coil™ Ties provide a simple and low-cost solution for securing formwork to existing structures for one-sided forming. They can eliminate additional hardware and labor over other methods. TYPICAL EXISTING WALLS: Concrete Wood lagging Brick Hollow concrete block Sheet piling Rock ANCHORING MEANS: Depending on the existing wall material and the design tie loads, the threaded rod may be secured with: Drop-in anchors Epoxy Steel Dog® Coil-Lags™ Steel Dog® Rebar Hooks Pivot brackets Plate washers and nuts Toggle ties Rock bolts

1/2"-13 NC MACHINE THREADS: Snap-Coil™ Ties can be supplied with coils tapped for 1/2" machine threads for compatibility with a wide range of hardware produced for that style of thread. Some examples: wedge expansion anchors, hollow masonry block anchors, Gates Anchor-Lock Ties, shebolts, double expansion anchors.

BLIND SIDE WALLS
Steel Dog® Snap-Coil™ Ties and Rebar Hooks provide a fast and low-cost way to use Stay-Form® stay-in-place expanded metal mesh to form blind side walls (where clearances on one side are too tight to allow for removal of reusable forms.) Lower labor cost to connect to rebar studs Field-adjustable length Any size tie made from standard components. This is a handy alternative to custom-ordered, special purpose ties.
