Ancon ISO-TW Isolation Washer
The ISO-TW Isolation Washer has been Angle to suit
application
designed for use with Ancon frame cramps
referenced _ _ V when fixing to steel frames. SPA Frame Cramp Fixed to
Steel with M6 Isolated Set Screws SPA Frame Cramp
In addition to separating the dissimilar
materials it allows cramps to be fixed to steel
columns in advance of the masonry. Final
adjustments to suit mortar joint levels can be
made within the 30mm range of the slot
without affecting the integrity of the fixing.
The practice of pre-fixing frame cramps can
speed the construction process.

Section of Ties
Minimum sections for restraints for various
thicknesses of stone are shown in the table
below. Restraints for large stones and for use
where cavities are in excess of 100mm may
require special attention. They may need a
much bigger section than 20 x 2.5mm; ties
formed from 20 x 3mm, 25 x 3mm, 30 x 3mm
and 30 x 4mm are frequently used for
restraining stone cladding.

Ancon 2000
Ancon 2000 restraint fixings are a simple and
secure method of fixing thin facing slabs. The
fixing is quickly and easily installed with the
small diameter hole giving lower drilling costs
and minimum disturbance to the structure.
Vertical and lateral adjustment is provided by
the slotted holes in the fixing clip.
