ABOUT PAM FIX TIE (top)  
     
  The versatile PAM-FIX wall tie replacement system can be used to tie together a large range of differing materials like timber, air-crete blocks, clay bricks, stone, concrete blocks and steel beams.  
     

 

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES (top)    
       
1

2
If required drill pilot hole in inner leaf.  
     
3
Use support tool to drive tie into inner leaf.  
     
4
Load test tie to required site loads.  
     
5
Fill clearance hole with PAM RESIN to bond tie to outer leaf.  
       
       

 

REMEDIAL WALL TIE SYSTEM WITH A HELICAL FIXING IN THE INNER LEAF AND A RESIN FIXING ON THE OUTER LEAF.

MORE ABOUT PAM FIX TIE (top)  
     
  PAM-FIX TIES are manufactured out of 304 or 316 Stainless Steel and have been independently testing using a common range of building materials by the University of Portsmouth material testing department in accordance with BS 1243 and DD140. They can be installed quickly and easily by drilling a clearance hole through the outer leaf. Then depending on inner leaf material install either a 6mm or 8mm tie varier a pilot hole in the inner leaf if required. PAM-FIX TIES are a stress free fixing, allowing them to be installed close to the edge of bricks/blocks and concrete without causing any splitting or cracking. When being used for tying cavity masonry the constant helix of PAM-FIX TIES gives multi water drips, stopping water transfer across cavities. The low cross sectional area of PAM-FIX TIES gives good sound proofing qualities and allows lateral flexibility to overcome any misalignment or seasonal thermal movement while still maintaining the required resistance to wind-loads.
