USES
• PlateTies are used to secure top
and bottom timber wall plates
to studs in high wind areas.
ADVANTAGES
• PlateTies can also be used
to secure studs in braced
panels to comply with Type B
bracing specifications.
• As PlateTies have integral teeth,
they are very quick to apply and
have consistent performance,
as nails cannot be inadvertently
left out.
• Pre-formed ties ensure tight fit
and tight bends, making it easier
to fit internal linings.
Pre-formed Type:
1. Place PlateTie over wall plate and stud. Nail to wall plate
with one 30 x 2.8mm hot dipped galvanized reinforced
head nail to hold tie in position.
2. Hammer pre-formed teeth into side of timber wall stud with
hard blow from a broad face hammer.
Universal Type:
1. Hold PlateTie firmly against the side and face of wall plate
with the long leg across the plate. Fasten to wall plate with
one 30 x 2.8mm hot dipped galvanized reinforced head
nail as shown.
2. Drive pre-formed teeth into stud, then bend outstanding
leg around plate. Once a tight bend has been achieved, drive
remaining pre-formed teeth into the other side of the stud.
