Concrete Snap Tie with Plastic Cone

Short End Snap Ties

Short end snap ties are shorter in length and are most ordinarily used for lighter applications with less protrusion above the concrete surface. They are multi-purpose and are normally utilized in applications like wall forming, slab forming, and forming small concrete structures.

Long End Snap Ties

Long end snap ties have a longer length and offer greater strength and support, ideal for heavy-duty projects with thicker formwork. They are best in large-scale projects such as high-rise buildings, deep foundations, and large infrastructure constructions where more length and firm support are needed.

Concrete Snap Tie with Washer

Concrete Snap Ties with Washers are another essential component in the realm of concrete formwork in the United States. They differ from the plastic cone snap ties in a few significant ways:

Washer: In this type of snap tie, a washer is used to secure the formwork. The washer acts as a plate that holds the snap tie in place, providing extra stability.

Snap Tie Wedge & Jahn A bracket Jahn C Bracket

Snap Tie Wedge: A snap tie wedge is a simple but essential element that enables the connection of the snap tie and the form panel. It is typically taper in shape and enables easy removal and insertion. This wedge creates a secure connection between the snap tie and the form panel, thereby inhibiting panel movement during the pouring of the concrete.

Jahn A Bracket: The Jahn A bracket is a special formwork accessory that gives extra support and alignment to the form panels, especially at junctions and corners. The Jahn A bracket is usually metallic in nature and is of a special shape that enables it to be fixed easily to the form panels. The Jahn A bracket assists in keeping the required form and size of the concrete structure and also in giving a quality finish.

Jahn C Bracket: In a way similar to the Jahn A bracket, the Jahn C bracket is another category of formwork accessory used in supporting and guiding. However, the structure of the Jahn C bracket targets specific applications such as supporting formwork vertical panels or the manufacture of curved and angled structures. Its unique profile and configuration as compared to that of the Jahn A bracket make it more suitable for being applied to numerous construction situations.

Washer vs. Plastic Cone

Snap Tie with Plastic Cone

• Design & Function:
  The plastic cone is engineered to snap off cleanly once the concrete has set. This ensures that very little material is left embedded in the concrete, promoting a neat finish.
• Material Benefits:
  Made from durable plastic, these ties resist corrosion and reduce the risk of spalling, which is especially beneficial in aggressive environments or where aesthetics are important.
• Installation & Performance:
  The break-away design allows for quicker, cleaner installation and reduces the need for post-pour clean-up. The plastic element minimizes disruptions in the concrete matrix.

Snap Tie with Washer

• Design & Function:
  In this variant, a metal washer is integrated into the tie. The washer remains embedded in the concrete and helps distribute loads more evenly across the rebar, ensuring robust stabilization.
• Material Considerations:
  Although the metal washer offers excellent mechanical strength, it can be more susceptible to corrosion if not properly treated. This might be a concern in moisture-prone or chemically aggressive environments.
• Installation & Performance:
  The presence of a metal washer can provide a stronger, more secure connection during the concrete pour, but it may require extra attention during installation to prevent issues like concrete blemishes or potential interference with the finish.
