This system is available as a kit comprising a length of 36/8 Channel 2400mm long, ten safety-ended SP36 flat wall ties and ten plugs / screws. It has a design resistance of 1.6kN per metre.

Unlike other wall starters, the ties can be used with debonding sleeves to accommodate longitudinal movement at the joint and the system can also be supplied with other Ancon wall ties with a _ _36 reference, e.g. DP36 or YP36 (dowelled) for use with stonework.

The Ancon 36/8 wall extension system is supplied with SX8 Nylon plugs and stainless steel pozi head screws. This fixing requires an 8mm diameter hole and is suitable for use in various types of block as well as concrete.

Installing Channel

Offer up the channel section.
On the existing wall, mark the position of the ten fixing holes to be used so that the channel will be central to the new masonry leaf and wall ties can be positioned in the channel at 225mm vertical centres for the full height of the wall.
Holes are located at 150mm centres along the channel. Fixings should be installed at a maximum of 300mm vertical centres, ensuring there are fixings through the first and last hole of each channel section.
Drill 8mm diameter holes, 50mm deep, and install wall plugs.
Position channel and loosely fix screws through channel in to the wall plugs.
Fully tighten screws, in any order, when all channel lengths are in position.
