Tie rods with wing nuts are essential shuttering and formwork accessories used to hold shuttering panels firmly together during concrete pouring. Their primary function is to resist the outward pressure of wet concrete, ensuring that the formwork remains aligned, stable, and dimensionally accurate throughout the casting process.
The tie rod passes through the shuttering panels, while the wing nut is tightened from the outside to lock the panels in position. This adjustable tightening mechanism allows contractors to control spacing, maintain uniform wall thickness, and prevent bulging or displacement of shuttering panels under load.
Manufactured from high-quality steel, tie rods and wing nuts are designed to withstand high tensile forces and repeated usage in demanding construction environments. They are commonly used in columns, walls, beams, foundations, and retaining structures where strong formwork support is required.
