    REPAIR DETAIL

    anzRT01 Replacing wall


    ties using DryFix

    Product Description Code


    DryFix Stainless steel dry pinning system HDF

    METHOD STATEMENT
    1. Mark the locations for the DryFix ties onto the face of the wall
    at the required spacing.* Wherever possible, the holes should
    be drilled directly into the masonry, but they may also be
    drilled into the exisitng mortar provided that this is strong and
    in good condition.
    2. Drill a 5mm pilot hole through the near leaf and into the
    remote leaf to the specified depth using a light-weight rotary
    percussion drill.*
    3. Attach the Helifix Power Driver Attachment to an SDS hammer
    drill set to a slow speed and light hammer only.
    4. Load the DryFix tie into the Power Driver Attachment.
    5. Support the power driver attachment with one hand, while
    using the other to work the drill, and drive the DryFix tie into
    the pre-drilled pilot hole to approximately 10mm beyond the
    surface of the near leaf.
    6. Make good the hole using either a mixture of sand, cement and
    oxide colouring to match the original surrounding brick
    surfaces or an epoxy sealant coated with brick dust or drillings.

    NOTE. Avoid leaning or pushing heavily on the drill during


    operation to ensure the accuracy of the hole’s diameter and to limit RECOMMENDED TOOLING
    spalling of the near leaf as the drill breaks into the cavity.
    For drilling ..................................................Rotary percussion drill 650/ 850w
    CAUTION. Always locate, identify and isolate any electrical, water For installation of DryFix..........................SDS rotary hammer drill 650/ 850w
    or gas services which may be present in the wall or the wall and DryFix Power Driver Attachment
    cavities and can pose a safety risk before drilling or cutting. Always
    take the necessary safety precautions. Use electrical safety gloves * Specification Notes
    and wear appropriate footwear and eyewear.
    The following criteria are to be used unless specified otherwise:
    A. DryFix are to be spaced in accordance with building code requirements
    to suit site conditions and location. Relevant standards include
    AS/NZS1170 and AS3700.
    B. Pilot hole size may be varied to suit site conditions. A 6mm or 6.5mm
    hole may be required to allow DryFix to penetrate hard materials. Refer
    to the Helifix Drilling Guide for further instruction.
    B. Depth of pilot hole to be DryFix tie length + 10mm.
    C. DryFix length to equal:
    Near leaf thickness less 10mm + cavity width + far leaf penetration
    Typically, ties should be sufficiently long to penetrate 35-95mm into the
    remote leaf depending on its hardness, with harder materials requiring
    less penetration. Typically, 60-70mm penetration is to be achieved
    when installing into common, dry-pressed or extruded brickwork.
    D. Ties may be installed from either side of the wall.
    The above specification notes are for general guidance only and Helifix
    reserves the right to amend details/notes as necessary.
