The Trimstar PVC Tie Rod Protector (OS Series) is a specialized construction accessory designed to protect flat tie rods during the concrete casting process in formwork systems. Manufactured by Hengsheng Hardware, this sleeve acts as a protective barrier, preventing concrete from adhering to the tie rod.
By using these protectors, contractors can easily extract and reclaim tie rods after the concrete has cured, significantly reducing material waste and labor costs. Its durable PVC construction is designed to withstand the high pressure of concrete pours while maintaining a slim profile that fits seamlessly within standard formwork setups.
Model Numbers: OS-45G / OS-50G
Standard Length: 3.0 meters
Color Options: Black
Measurement: Cut the PVC Tie Rod Protector to a length slightly shorter than the width of the wall or the distance between the formwork panels.
Insertion: Slide the protector sleeve over the flat tie rod before the rod is positioned through the formwork.
Securing: Position the tie rod with the protector into the formwork slots. Secure the rod using standard lock pins and round pins as per the formwork manufacturer's guidelines.
Extraction: Once the concrete has reached sufficient strength and formwork is being stripped, simply pull the tie rod out. The PVC sleeve will remain embedded in the concrete, leaving a clean channel for easy rod removal.
Internal Channel: Not applicable (The sleeve remains embedded).
Patching: After the tie rod is removed, the remaining hole should be filled with a non-shrink grout or waterproof cementitious plug to ensure the integrity and water-tightness of the wall.
Tie Rod Check: Ensure tie rods are straight and free of old concrete or rust before sliding the protector on.
