The dry set procedure of masonry stabilization involves simply driving a SPIRA-LOK™ helical stainless steel tie through the masonry, via a small pilot hole, using our new and improved installation tool. The self-tapping dry set tie cuts a threaded groove into the masonry as it is driven into position to provide a solid connection between wythes with no applied torque, and without the use of toxic adhesives, mechanical expanders or rigid connections.

SPIRA-LOK™ wall ties are engineered from austenitic stainless steel, which combines axial strength to withstand all anticipated wind loadings with sufficient flexibility to accommodate normal wall movement..

The SPIRA-LOK™ wall tie system provides an effective and economical stress-free connection between all commercially used materials in cavity and solid masonry construction and has been widely used in high-rise and commercial applications throughout the world.

Standard Details
The dry set technique may involve various tie diameters, drill bits and installation tools. An on-site survey should be carried out prior to project bidding to determine material strength, tie diameter & length, pilot hole size and appropriate drilling technique. Standard sample specifications are available.
