Vista SST Cavity Ties with Drip – Box of 10

• The Vista SST Cavity Starter Tie with Drip is a precision-engineered solution for achieving structural continuity between existing masonry and new external walls incorporating a cavity.
• Specifically designed for use in buildings up to 8 metres (approximately three storeys) in height
• The SST tie ensures mechanical stability while maintaining cavity integrity and building performance.
• SST Starter Tie supplied complete with nylon plug.
• Supplied with a drip. 
• Available in a Box of 100

Application:

• Used where a cavity exists and a new external wall is being constructed
• Suitable for residential and commercial buildings up to a maximum height of 8 metres (approximately three storeys)
• Ideal for extensions, infill panels, or renovation works requiring secure connection to existing structures

Design:

• Asymmetrical wall starter tie configuration for straightforward installation and effective engagement with both existing and new masonry
• Integrated drip feature to prevent moisture bridging across the cavity, preserving thermal and structural performance
• Can be installed in either orientation for ease of use on-site

Material

• Manufactured from grade 304 stainless steel in accordance with BS EN 10088-1
• Offers excellent resistance to corrosion, suitable for use in diverse internal and external environments

Behaviour in Relation to Fire

• Non-combustible, meeting requirements defined in national Building Regulations for fire safety in structural applications]

Durability:

• Provides excellent corrosion resistance and is designed for a service life of not less than 60 years under standard conditions
• Complies with durability standards specified in relevant building codes and regulations

Thermal Performance

• Suitable for applications where thermal bridging and heat loss through wall ties must be limited
• Adequately resists thermal transmittance across cavity walls, contributing to energy-efficient building envelope designs

Specification:

Available for specification via the NBS Source platform, facilitating inclusion in architectural and engineering project documentation

The Vista SST Cavity Starter Tie with Drip in a Box of 10 offers a high-performance, corrosion-resistant solution for connecting new cavity walls to existing structures, ensuring both structural reliability and compliance with modern building standards.
