S3i Architectural Tie Bar / Structural Tie Rod System Tie bars/ tie rods made from high tensile materials resulting in extra strength with a tapered lock nut design feature that hides bar threads thus providing a clean cosmetic appearance. Futuristic home interiors Places of worship Retail centres Swimming pool enclosures The standard tie bar system consists of a bar with a left hand and right hand threaded SBS-450 fork at each end. Once installed the rod can be rotated to expand or contract the fork's pin centres. Special spanner flats can be added to the tie bars to help with rotation. The forks are locked into position by tightening the tapered locking nuts using a 'C' pin spanner. The special tapered locking nuts also hide excessive bar threads. The forks benefit from 'Double Headed' clevis pins which are fastened into position using a standard 'Allen' key.
