SuperTie™ Patented Smooth Rod and Gripper Series
SuperTie™ patented fiberglass form-tie systems are used to secure concrete formwork during concrete placement and initial hydration, without the inherent limitations of previously popular steel form-tie systems. SuperTie™ systems eliminate the possibility of rust stains, as well as the structural deterioration often caused by failure of patching for steel form-tie holes.
SuperTie™ 15K (.5” Rod) GND15000
SuperTie™ 15K Patented Gripper System offers an ultimate tensile strength of 15,000 pounds (7,500 safe working load at 2:1 safety factor). This system’s greater strength makes it attractive to those who need heavier forms and higher concrete placement rates. The .500-inch-diameter rod can be used with many commercially available forms.
US Patent #7,819,388
SuperTie™ Bearing Plate BP615
The Bearing Plate is a required component with the SuperTie Gripper. BP615 is a 4”x4” steel plate and fits the 6K and 15K systems. G50K comes with customized bearing (call for details).
Non-Corrosive Fiberglass Coil Rod (0.50”)
RJD Fiberglass Smooth Rod utilizes a specially blended and formulated custom-engineered resin, made in the USA, combining ultimate tensile strength and maximizing the RJD Gripper strength. (Do not use any non-RJD engineered rod with RJD grippers; this could result in form failure and/or injury.) RJD Fiberglass Smooth Rod will never rust, eliminating the need for breakback, plugging, and patching and allowing for superior architectural finishes. RJD Fiberglass Smooth Rod 15K System (0.50”) is offered in grey and black.
