ST-15 Steel Wedge

The ST-15 Steel Wedge accommodates either standard or heavy snapties and is designed with sufficient strength to distribute the form loads to the wales.

CAUTION: The safe working load of the Steel Wedge can be affected by the position of the wedge on the tie end. Reference Steel Wedge Assembly Precautions below.

Steel Wedge Assembly Precautions:

Excessive spacing between the walers may cause the steel wedge to bend and result in the cone or washer on the snaptie to become embedded in the concrete. Breakback of the snaptie would be made difficult to accomplish.

Over-tightening the wedge may damage the head of the snaptie,the wedge slot and/or the plastic cone and result in a premature failure.

The Steel Wedge is designed to carry the load at the upper 2/3 of the wedge slot. Load applied too low on the wedge slot may cause the wedge to deform or break.

Nail holes are provided to allow the wedge to be firmly secured to the wales to prevent loosening during vibration.
