Steel Safety End Movement Tie 175mm

The BPC Building Products Steel Safety End Movement Tie 175mm is a precision-engineered, grade 304 stainless steel wall tie designed for use at vertical movement joints in brick and blockwork masonry. Manufactured by BPC Building Products Limited — the UK’s largest independent builders’ metalwork manufacturer — this 175mm movement tie delivers reliable lateral restraint while permitting controlled horizontal expansion and contraction, protecting cavity walls from cracking and structural damage caused by thermal movement.

Key Features and Specifications

• Material: Grade 304 austenitic stainless steel — sheared plate and strip construction
• Length: 175mm — suits standard cavity wall configurations
• Design: Safety embedment (perforated) end bonds into mortar bed; plain end slides freely within a debonding sleeve to accommodate movement
• Debonding sleeve: Supplied separately — allows the tie to slide under thermal expansion without transferring load across the joint
• Compliance: Tested to BS EN 845-1:2013+A1:2016 (ancillary components for masonry) and BS EN 846-7:2012 (shear performance)
• Fire performance: Non-combustible as defined by the national Building Regulations
• Durability: Excellent corrosion resistance; service life of not less than 60 years
• Typical installation spacing: 450mm vertical, 900mm horizontal staggered pattern; 300mm vertical centres around unbonded openings
• Available in trade box quantities

Applications

• Vertical movement joints in brick and blockwork cavity walls — new-build residential and commercial construction
• Long runs of brickwork where thermal expansion joints are required to prevent cracking
• Masonry walls tied to steelwork or concrete frames where differential movement must be accommodated
• Refurbishment and extension projects requiring compliant movement joint detailing
• Any UK masonry build where a stainless steel debonding slip tie or expansion joint wall tie is specified
