Low cost solution for one-sided forming and adjustable-length ties
Welded to rigorous standards using computer-controlled equipment: each SC is as strong as a standard button-head tie
2250 lbs Safe Working Load

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
