Distance tubes and sealing cones
Distance tubes are used to guarantee concrete wall thickness using reusable tie bars.
The engineered solution for formwork shutter ties:
- High compressive strength
- Large contact area, therefore reduced pressure on the formwork
- Conform to requirements of EN1992-1:2004 (concrete and reinforced concrete)
- Can be manufactured as an impermeable shutter tie system
- Fire
resistance rating F30 - F180 and suitable for fire walls (F90) to DIN 4102
- When sealed with FRANK approved accessories, distance tubes can form a watertight, gas tight or fireproof seal, system certified.
For drinking water reservoirs FRANK offers the “TW“ version of the distance tube, with approval for drinking water applications and can be used without any restrictions.
FRANK exposed concrete sealing cones:
During formwork erection and concreting of walls using reusable tie bars conical recesses in the concrete are formed. FRANK exposed fibre-reinforced concrete sealing cones do not only allow for sealing these recesses, but they are at the same time a modern architectural design feature.
- Individual design possibilities for concrete surfaces
- Quick and reliable sealing of recess holes
- Smooth surface of low porosity
- Exposed concrete of the highest quality
- Part of an impermeable sealing system for shutter tie holes
