How to install and construct fiberglass water-stop tie rods?
Installation is similar to that of the steel threaded rod. After tying the wall reinforcement, close one side of the formwork, insert the rod through according to the alignment lines, then close the other side. Install the plastic spacers and cone-shaped clamps, and tighten with nuts. After form removal, use a hammer to break off the protruding portion flush against the concrete surface horizontally; no further rust prevention or repair is required....
What are the pros and cons of fiberglass water-stop tie rods?
Advantages: Prevents end corrosion, eliminates cutting (saving labor and eliminating open flames), lightweight rod body, electrical insulation, and a coefficient of thermal expansion close to concrete.
