Ancon Staifix-Thor Helical Timber Tie TIM6 Type 6 Tie

The Ancon Staifix-Thor Helical TIM6 is available in four standard lengths. It is suitable for cavities from 50mm to 150mm and can be used with the red Ancon Staifix Universal Clip where insulation has to be retained in the cavity. An installation tool is required to hammer the tie into the timber frame. The TIM6 has a cross-sectional area of 6.6mm².

The helix of these Ancon fixings has a precise pitch that cuts a consistent path as it is driven in to timber; each rotation interlocks perfectly down its length to guarantee maximum performance. This helix design is patented and therefore unique to the Thor Helical range.

The TIM6 can be hammered through insulation without compressing the material and, although the tie creates a thermal bridge across an insulated cavity, its small cross-sectional area means heat transfer is negligible.

Lengths

We recommend a minimum embedment depth of 35mm in the timber frame and 65mm in the masonry leaf.
