Thermabate provides a simple and efficient method of closing cavities around openings in masonry walls. The insulating foam core prevents thermal bridging, while the PVC-U box section forms a positive damp proof barrier and key for the direct application of plaster.

It effectively prevents condensation, pattern staining and mould growth frequently associated with traditional methods of closing cavities. Thermabates closes the cavities and avoids problems encountered when supporting traditional dpc’s and insulation boards during construction.

Advantages• Continuous insulation• Reduced heat loss• Weather resistant• BBA Certificate No. 91/2648

This tie has been designed to be used on buildings of any height within the UK. It can be used in cavities up to 175mm. This tie meets and exceeds the requirements of a Type 1 tie as stated in DD140 : Part 2. The 2000 range tie has inherently strong sectional properties due to its advanced design. The shape of the tie and a fine micro coating ensures that moisture is not transmitted across the body of the tie.

The 2000 tie has embedment markings on the body of the tie. This ensures that each tie is installed correctly and that you no longer have to put your faith in the installer’s best judgement. The tie is also marked with its size and relevant part number to ensure that the correct product is used in the correct location.

The ACS 2200 range tie is a variation on the 2100 tie where cavity restrictions may preclude the use of a vertical twist.

The ACS 2200 wall tie has a drip feature positioned centrally as standard to prevent the transfer of moisture across the cavity. This tie is also suitable for thin bed applications where the mortar joint is less than 10mm deep.

The ACS 2100 range tie is an alternative to the tie above. The ACS 2100 has a three hole safe end pattern at each end, a vertical twist positioned centrally to prevent moisture from travelling across the tie and can be used in cavities of 50mm upwards.


The ACS 2300 range tie is used predominantly in collar joint applications where there is no cavity, however this tie may be used in cavity wall construction if moisture and acoustic issues are not a problem.

The ACS 2400 range tie is used with a plastic de-bonding sleeve at movement joint positions, and is designed to resist lateral loadings whilst still allowing longitudinal expansion and contraction of the masonry panels. The de-bonding sleeves should be installed with a 10mm gap at the end of the tie, and is achieved with use of ACS’s ‘viewing window’ in the end of the sleeve.

n3300–SafeEndedFrameCramp

ACSFrameCramps(Masonry/SteelorConcrete)

ACSChannelTies(Masonry/Channel)

A multi purpose conventional fixing cramp that incorporates a number of unique design features. This frame cramp has a slotted upstand that provides the user with a vertical tolerance when fixing the product to a structure. This reduces the likelihood of the cramp being bent on site to suit brickwork coursing.

Also the 3000 range frame cramp can be used with or without a debonding sleeve - negating the need for stocking various different types of frame cramp.

The cramp has a multi drip feature that ensures a drip is positioned within the open cavity. The shape of the product and the multi drip feature prevents moisture from crossing the cavity. It is not necessary to stock or purchase different style frame cramps of the same length.

This tie has been independently tested at Sheffield University Civil and Structural Engineering Department and results have shown that this product is inherently stronger than the traditional style cramp that is widely available in the market place at present.

The performance of frame cramps is determined by the position of the fixing. At the lowest point of the slot the frame cramp will have a safe working load of approximately 1.0kN. As the fixing position alters, the capacity of the tie will reduce. ACS recommends using oversize washers with the fixing when installing cramps with a vertical slot.

The ACS 4000 range channel ties are designed for use with 25/15 frame fixed channels and to suit either conventional or thin bed joint applications.

Both these ties are supplied with a 3-holed safety end for bonding into the mortar along with a drip feature, which is positioned 85mm from the safe end to prevent moisture from crossing the cavity.

Ties are available in a variety of lengths to suit most applications.

The ACS 4200 range multi end channel ties are designed for use with 28/28 (dovetail) or 28/15 channels and to suit either conventional or thin bed joint applications.

The ACS 3200 range frame cramps are designed for use in either conventional or thin bed joints and are available in a variety of lengths to suit most applications.

These ties are supplied with a 3-holed safety end for bonding into the mortar, a drip feature to prevent moisture from crossing the cavity and a vertical slot in the upstand to allow adjustment when fixing.


The ACS 3300 range frame cramps are designed for use in either conventional or thin bed joints and are available in a variety of lengths to suit most applications.

These ties are supplied with a 3-holed safety end for bonding into the mortar along with a vertical slot in the upstand to allow adjustment when fixing.

n4200-MultiChannelTiewithDripFeature



The ACS AHR restrains the top of the inner leaf of a cavity wall or the top of internal walls. It can be fixed to either concrete or steelwork, or clipped into channel and is designed to allow differential movement between the inner leaf and the structure whilst providing restraint to the panel. Mortar is prevented from entering the AHR allowing the head to slide freely within a steel sleeve. The foot of the restraint is built within the bed joint and the centre of the restraint must be positioned in the vertical joint at least 50mm from the edge of the blockwork. Centres of AHRs are usually specified by the project structural engineer.

The AHR range is designed to suit a standard 215mm block.However, non-standard lengths may be manufactured upon request.

Please specify structure and fixing when ordering.

The unique spring retaining clip inserted in the tube prevents the two items separating, making installation as a complete unit possible.

The two-part tie is designed for use in larger cavities that range from 150mm upwards. The tie is easier to install than a one piece product as the inner section (170mm in length) is installed into the inner leaf and the outer section, which is manufactured to a length to suit customer requirements and is fixed as the outer leaf is built. The tie requires an embedment of 75mm at either end. Insulation retaining clips can be supplied to suit this tie.

The two-part tie exceeds the requirements of a Type 2 tie to BS EN 845-1 up to 250mm cavity. Thereafter, the tie meets the requirements of a Type 3 tie to BS EN 845-1 up to 350mm cavity.

ACSHeadRestraints

The ACS range of sliding anchor systems is designed for where the inner and outer leaf of masonry need to be tied back to the structure, whilst allowing differential movement. They are available in a wide range of lengths and fixing styles to suit the individual requirements of the building. The head of the anchor fixes to the soffit or face of structure i.e. concrete slab or steel beam. The stem head dimensions and hole positions can also be altered to suit the customer’s specific requirements.

The one way (OWT) and two way (TWT) are available in standard lengths from 100mm for the one way tie and 200mm for the two way tie in 25mm increments. These ties are designed to work with the ACS sliding anchor systems and allow the ties to move up and down the stem to suit coursing.

Each pack contains two 1165mm lengths. Slots at each end allow easy connection of one length to the next.

The insulation retaining clip can be used on the full range of wall ties. The positive ‘CLICK’ action will allow the ties to fit to the formed cavity ties and frame cramps, and also allow the clip to fit to the full range of wire and strip ties as well.

Debonding sleeves are supplied complete with viewing holes to ensure a 10mm gap is achieved during installation.

When fixing a stainless steel tie to a mild steel frame, an isolation pad should be used to separate the dissimilar metals to prevent a bimetallic reaction.

ACSChannelSystems

ACS can supply a wide range of channels and T head bolts to suit almost any application within the construction industry.

Channels & T head bolts may be supplied in a variety of lengths and materials to suit your needs.

The tables below show the channel types available and standard lengths / T head bolts to suit. For further information please consult ACS.

Our range consists of the following:

n Cast in channels n Surface fixed channels n Plain back channels

Cast in channels are spilt into two groups, self-anchoring & welded anchor types. Self-anchoring channels are predominantly used for restraint ties whilst channels with welded anchors are used for heavier loadings such as fixing masonry support. Cast in Channels offer continuous adjustment longitudinally and can eliminate the need for site drilling thus reducing labour on site.


nSurface fixed channels are generally used for restraint ties. They may be bolted back to masonry, concrete, steelwork and steel studding with appropriate fixings. They are usually installed in continuous lengths to allow the secondary fixer continuous adjustment longitudinally when installing masonry ties.

nPlain back channels may be used for supporting or restraining masonry. These channels are mainly welded to either steel columns or beams during fabrication and prior to treating the steelwork to increase the life expectancy. Plain back channels again offer continuous adjustment longitudinally and can eliminate the need for site drilling thus reducing labour on site.

nACS Cast in Channels should be selected to ensure that the tensile, shear and combined load capacity are not exceeded by the design load.

ACSMasonrySupport

ACS provides a wide range of masonry support systems designed to support the external leaf of masonry for all types of structure. The presence of a masonry support angle allows differential movement of the structure and the external cladding via a horizontal movement joint.

Horizontal movement joints are usually positioned at every storey or every other storey depending on the detail. However, the maximum allowable height of masonry to be supported is 9m or 3 storeys in height, whichever is less (refer to BS 5628: Part 1 - 2005).

Note: buildings not exceeding 4 storeys or 12 metres in height, which ever is less, may be uninterrupted for its full height.

MaterialsACS masonry support systems are generally manufactured from stainless steel Grade 304 material; however, we can manufacture systems from Grade 316 stainless steel, especially if it is to be used in corrosive environments such as coastal areas.

Where stainless steel comes into contact with mild steel it is important to isolate the dissimilar materials via neoprene spacers to prevent bi-metallic corrosion. These are available from ACS.

Adjustments/tolerancesACS masonry support systems may be adjusted in 3 directions depending on the fixing detail to overcome site tolerances.• Vertical adjustment This can be accommodated via the use of ALPHA or serrated

washers over the vertical slots in the system.• Longitudinal adjustment This can be accommodated via horizontal slots in steelwork or

via a continuous cast in channel.• Lateral adjustment This can be accommodated via stainless steel shims.

The maximum allowable shim is the thickness of the bolt or 12mm whichever is less. If shimming exceeds this figure please liaise with ACS Technical Department.


ALPHA bracket and washer

Patent No. GB2412952B

nALPHABracketSystem

The ALPHA Bracket has been independently tested at Sheffield University and has been proven to perform on average over 20% better in shear than the traditional serrated bracket system.

Almost every support system designed and manufactured by ACS now incorporates the new ALPHA Bracket.

The ALPHA Bracket has been developed to replace the traditional serrated bracket and offers many advantages including the following:

• Lock safe Where a serrated pad and washer fails, the positive locking

ALPHA Bracket locks in on itself preventing catastrophic failure.• Finer adjustment The ALPHA Bracket has over 5mm more vertical adjustment

than a traditional serrated bracket system; in addition to this the ALPHA Washer allows 4mm fixing increments.

• Economic Because much greater loads can be achieved, in most cases

fewer brackets need to be used. On a typical system we estimate this could save over 10%.

How to orderThe following guide allows designers to specify masonry support systems for most situations. However, ACS offers full design service which includes sketch proposals & technical advice for all standard & non-standard conditions.

Example: TL/L/100/6.0/C/RAThis would indicate a Type 1 bracket angle system to suit a 100mm cavity & 6.0kN/m loading bolted back to concrete with resin anchors.

L Type windposts are a cost effective structural system designed to suit each and every individual project. The posts are built into the internal skin of blockwork and bolted to the structure via suitable fixings. The use of WPT1 clip on ties to the external leaf & WPT2 clip in ties to the inner leaf transfer the loadings applied to the cladding back to the structure.

The following tables illustrate the typical sizes available, however almost any size can be designed / manufactured.
