Steel-Ply® Connecting Hardware

For productive setting and stripping of forms, Symons offers a variety of connecting hardware.

Wedge Bolts 

Two identical Wedge Bolts function as a lock-bolt set, one as a connecting bolt, the other as a clamping wedge.  At typical side rail-to-side rail connections, the loop end of the tie is positioned in dado slots and is secured by the same Wedge Bolts.

For typical walls, form connecting Wedge Bolts are only required at standard tie connection positions.  Additional Wedge Bolts are utilized at other positions for attachment of walers, scaffold brackets or other accessory components.

Long Bolts 

The Long Bolt is designed to be used with the 1", 1½" and 2" Steel Filler.  The long connecting bolt is punched with two ¼" holes to accommodate a 16d nail to be used to shorten the bolt for Steel Fillers.  A vertical Wedge Bolt secures the two panels and filler through the adjoining side rails.

Adjustable Long Bolts   

The Adjustable Long Bolt is designed to allow two steel fillers to be used side-by-side.  It can accommodate up to a 3" combination (i.e. two 1½" steel fillers, or a 1" with a 2" steel filler.

Gang Bolts

Gang Bolts secure Gang Form Ties. Ties are inserted through the side rail dado slots after the two opposing ganged units are in place.

Base Tie Bolts

The Base Tie Bolt secures a tie to an endrail or a side rail resting on a footing.  It can also be used in situations where panels butt against an existing vertical surface.
