300mm Type 3 General Purpose Housing Tie for Cavity Widths 125-150mm

The Type 3 Light Duty Housing Wall Tie is a specialized structural connector designed specifically for domestic housing and small-scale commercial buildings. Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, these ties provide excellent resistance to corrosion and ensure a long-lasting bond between the inner and outer leaves of a cavity wall. The tie is engineered with a distinctive profile that includes a central drip feature to prevent water from traveling across the cavity to the internal leaf. While lighter in profile than Type 2 ties, they offer the necessary lateral restraint and flexibility required for residential structures up to 15 metres in height, provided they are situated in areas with lower wind loads.
