Pour Commercial Walls with Residential Forms

The DB Resi-Tie™, with an 1-1/2” breakback and optional waterstop, makes it possible to pour commercial-specification concrete walls with 1-1/8” form panels. The precisely crimped ends of this round wire tie fit the swing latches of standard 1-1/8” forms in the same way as standard flattened-wire ties.

Unlike some other ties, the DB Resi-Tie™ is a round wire tie, so a plastic cone is not necessary for the tie to break back to the proper depth in most circumstances. (To ensure good breakback without cone, we apply a bond-breaker wax finish around the breakback area). If needed to ensure breakback, or for finishing purposes, plastic cones are available at extra cost. Cone size is 1.25” diameter by 1.5” long. A neoprene washer waterstop is also available.

The DB Resi-Tie™ is available from stock in many common sizes. Any size is available by special order.
