The Simpson Strong-Tie Heli-Ties are designed to anchor building facades to structural members such as concrete block. These helical wall ties are made from 304 stainless steel for a long lasting service life and excellent corrosion resistance. The helical design makes installation quick into the predrilled pilot hole. An SDS-Plus rotohammer along with the proprietary HELITOOL37A Installation Tool.

• Drill pilot hole through the façade material and into the backup material to the specified embedment depth + 1" using appropriate drill bit(s) in the chart below. Drill should be in rotation-only mode when drilling into soft masonry or into hollow backing material.
• Position blue end of the Heli-Tie™ fastener in the installation tool and insert the tie into the pilot hole.
• With the SDS-plus rotohammer in hammer mode, drive the tie until the tip of the installation tool enters the exterior surface of the masonry and countersinks the tie below the surface. Patch the hole in the façade with a matching masonry hanger.
