Thor Helical CD Ties conform to BS EN 845-1: 2013 and conditions for CE marking for retrofit wall ties and lateral restraints. The one-piece stainless steel CD Tie has a circumscribed diameter of 9mm and a patented twist accuracy. When hammer-driven into small pilot holes the remedial ties corkscrew into brick, block and concrete to deliver a mechanical fix that grips the wall on each side of the cavity.
Unlike ties having expanding mechanisms, which deliver point-loadings when tightened, the threaded interlock connection of the self-tapping helical wall tie exerts no expansive stress into the brickwork and will not loosen with vibration.
The CD Ties have no combustible components and require no resin or grout bonding agents. They are suitable for remedial use in all types of masonry and are particularly useful in overcoming fire performance, low temperatures and material compatibility issues.
The Thor Helical CD Tie system is patented across four Continents. The retrofit wall ties have a unique driving shank that is engaged by a short SDS adaptor. This feature overcomes issues of safety and ease of use that may be encountered by earlier systems which use cumbersome, costly and unreliable telescopic tools.
Applications for the Thor Helical CD Ties include:
Retrofit wall ties are supplied in cartons of 1000 pieces as standard; they can be packed in distributor-supplied boxes in bespoke quantities.

TYPICAL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF THOR HELICAL CD TIES
| Product Attributes | Value |
|---|---|
| Diameter | 9mm |
| CSA | 16mm2 |
| 0.2% Proof Stress | >850N/mm2 |
| Ultimate Tensile Strength* | 1025-1225N/mm2 |
| Mean Tensile Capacity # | 17kN |
* Ultimate Tensile Strength is measured within a calibrated tolerance of +/- 2% # Mean Tensile Capacity is an indicative value derived from CSA x Mean UTS
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE LOADS (taken from CE Mark Testing for lateral restraint in the end grain of timbers)
BS EN 845-1:2013 National Annex NA states that the lateral needs to provide an equivalent performance to the prescriptive 30mm x 5mm straps and the tension straps should have a declared tensile load capacity of at least 8kN.
| Substrate | Tension |
|---|---|
| Brick 215mm | 5.61kN |
| C16 Timber – End grain | 4.10kN |
Ties are driven through a 215mm brick wall and into the end grain of a joist running perpendicular to the wall. To meet this standard for lateral restraint straps installers must use a pair of 9mm ties in each joist-end.
This video demonstrates the helical bars being used to create deep brick beams to span a window opening. The stainless steel helical reinforcing bars are bonded with WHO-60 polymer modified grout into cut slots cut into masonry. It offers a quick, simple and durable solution for strengthening and stabalising damaged masonry structures
