Tie Length
Wall ties should be of the correct length to ensure they are properly embedded in the masonry.
Australian standards require a minimum wall tie embedment of 50mm, however Leviat recommends tie lengths which achieve a design embedment of between 62mm and 75mm in each leaf to allow for site tolerance in both cavity width and centring of the ties.
Recommended Tie Lengths for Cavity Ties
| Cavity Width (mm) | Length of Wall Tie |
|---|---|
| 50-75 | 200 |
| 76-100 | 225 |
| 101-125 | 250 |
| 126-150 | 275 |
Recommended Tie Lengths for Veneer Ties
| Cavity width (mm) | Length of wall tie (mm) |
|---|---|
| 20-44* | 100 |
| 45-69 | 125 |
| 70-94 | 150 |
| 95-119 | 175 |
| 120-144 | 200 |
| 145-169 | 225 |
