Steel Dog® Turnbuckle Loop-Coil Ties™ provide a first in the concrete forming industry: a way to adjust the length of a tie after it is in place and attached to the formwork. Like the industry-standard LC Loop-Coil Ties, LCT Turnbuckle ties provide a convenient connection between Steel Ply formwork and 1/2” coil rod, for one-sided forming, adjustable-length ties, blind-side forming, etc.

Turnbuckle ties are also commonly used to “Internally Brace” formwork when pouring large concrete slabs. A pre-bent Turnbuckle tie provides a means of attaching formwork to a rebar matt or mud slab when used with Rebar Hooks or Anchor-Bars.

Common sizes:

• LCT-7 — 7” min. one-sided wall

• LCT-5 — 5” min. one-sided wall

• LCT-7-B45 — 7” min. one-sided wall, 45° bend (specify type A or type B)

A Simple Solution to Wall Jogs and Pilasters

Strengthen wall jogs with ties measured for the job

Steel Dog Hook Ties are used at a wall jog to securely hold a corner in place by hooking onto another tie.  Hook ties are an alternative to the Steel Dog Offset Tie.  They’re particularly helpful in places where offset ties cannot be used, such as a T-Wall with a pilaster (shown below).

Hook Ties are made using a high tensile round wire and feature a 170DEG “shepherds hook” that’s stronger than a flat wire hook tie. Common sizes are for 8”, 10”, and 12” walls, but they can be custom made to any size!

FEATURES: 

•Strong, round wire design

•Standard breakback of 1/8” 

•Available with cones/deep breakbacks/waterseal

•Custom sizes available

•Stainless steel available
