Quad-Lock Ties
Quad-Lock Ties secure the Quad-Lock Panels
to form the cavity for the concrete. Quad-Lock Ties:
- Connect the panels in 4 ways (hence "Quad-Lock"): transversely, vertically, at butt joints,
and along horizontal seams.
- Serve as an attachment point for bracing and finish materials.
- Serve as a locator for reinforcing steel using the ties' molded rebar
chairs.
- Help to secure corners, T-Walls, etc.
- Molded water stop assures no migration of water along ties.
Ties are placed at the intersection of the horizontal and
vertical joints of all panels and every 12" [305mm] in-between,
which are marked by the deeper, wider grooves in the panels. The
ties are placed to align every 12" [305mm] vertically and
horizontally in every wall.
Two Quad-Lock Panels and four Quad-Lock Ties form one Unit. The ties
are recessed from the outside surface of the panels to prevent thermal
bridging and the telegraphing of dissimilar materials when finishing
with stucco.
Ties
are available in five different standard lengths and are
color-coded for easy identification. Using ties of different
lengths, five different wall widths are available and can be
combined with Extender Ties to add 12" [305mm] to any
standard tie length. Multiple Extender Ties can be joined to
make wider cavities. Quad-Lock Ties are molded of High Density
Polyethylene (HDPE).
The unique tie design and placement provides
to following benefits:
- Ensures
a uniform concrete thickness throughout the wall.
- Prevents the deflection or spreading of all edges of the
panels to ensure a smooth, planar surface and prevent
blowouts. This is achieved through the placement of the ties
at all horizontal AND vertical joints where panels are most
vulnerable to hydrostatic pressure during concrete
placement.
- Provides additional strength at high-pressure areas such
as corners, T-walls.
- Allows a single tie to be easily modified for specific
tasks by cutting the ties into split ties and tie flanges
which are used near wall junctions and openings.
- Allows almost unlimited wall cavity size by combining Extender
Ties with standard ties.

Quad-Lock Tie Dimensions |
 Brick Ledge Ties
Quad-Lock Brick Ledge Tie can be used to create a concrete
ledge for brick or stone exterior finishes or as an interior
support for floor joists. It easily transitions the wall from a
12" [305mm] concrete cavity to a 6" [150mm] cavity (when used
with R-22 [U-0.28] panels), leaving a 3¾" [95mm] solid concrete
supporting ledge, plus a 2¼" [57mm] wide high-density foam panel
capped by a galvanized Metal Track.
Extender Ties
The Quad-Lock Extender Tie will allow builders to create walls
of almost any desired concrete thickness. Extender Ties are
designed to interlock with regular Full Ties to add 12" [305mm]
of concrete cavity. Combine multiple Extender Ties with Full
Ties to create concrete cavities larger than 24" [610mm].
Slab Ties
Slab Ties, used in combination with the Slab Bracket and 2x4
lumber, will provide a solid support system for 1 to 2 layers of
outside panels during the concrete pour of a floor slab. This
system eliminates the need for exterior scaffolding or ladders.
Available in lengths of 6", 8", 10", and 12".
