Helix Spiroties "Friction Fit"

cuts threaded channel to create strong hold.

Introduction

The Helix Spiro (Dry) Tie is used for stabilisation of existing buildings. The system connects layers of masonry which simply involves driving the Helix tie . through the masonry, via a pilot hole creating a friction fix. The patented square end of the tie allows two cutting edges to cut through the masonry when driven by the Helix power drive tool.
