N E T TIEING/HANDSET SNAPTIES Shank Wrench The wrench is designed to be applied to the tie at the concrete face after the form work has been removed using a bending and rotation movement to break off tie ends. Using the Shank Wrench: No. Wt (lbs) DS 30322 2.3 INFORMATION Important Tie Breaking Information: 1. For best results, ties should be broken off in two to five days after concrete placement. 2. Attempting to break the tie in "green" concrete may result in the tie rotating in the concrete. This makes it very difficult to break the tie with conventional methods. 3. For proper breakback strip forms, make sure that the spreader cone or washer is loose and the tie bead, which is located directly behind the washer, is free of the concrete. 4. When a tie will not break back or a spreader cone or washer is embedded in the concrete, use a hammer and screw driver to chip away the concrete to free the embedded part. Failure to follow this practice may result in the tie breaking near the face of the concrete instead of at the proper breakback point. 1. After the form has been removed, slide the wrench up the tie until the front of the wrench contacts the concrete. 2. Keep the wrench tight against the concrete and push the handle towards the concrete, thus bending the tie nearly 90°. Next, rotate the wrench around the centerline of the tie. 1/4 to 1/2 turn is usually sufficient to snap off the tie end. Loop End - Camlock The self-centering loop ties are fabricated from medium carbon wire. Loops are electrically welded to insure consistent, safe working loads. This tie is fabricated utilizing a unique style of plastic cone. Cone is designed with a protruding back section which fits snugly into a 13/16"dia. hole drilled in the plywood form. Self-centered cone causes the drilled hole to be totally covered by the cone, greatly reducing the grout leakage through the form tie hole. 100 pieces per carton. SWL 2,250 lbs.
