[RedViking]

I have P.M'd Redviking and asked him if he could scan and post the illustration and text regarding reveal ties in R Brands Book...

Hope these help ...

Thanks for the information, most appreciated, the information in Brands Book was relevant then and is still relevant to-day---if it aint broke, dont fix it...

Thanks again

when was the last time you seen a revel tie?when was the last time you fitted one proper,not with screw jacks ??i can mind all of the above vaugely,very vaugely.

If you go to 8 Stratton St, London next wednesday/Thursday you'll see a scaffold being built in the atrium that is partially tied with reveal pins....

no supervisor slash manager worth es salt would let a gang use them then again you will get the odd one or two pardon the pun(ODD).would that be a lyndons job 8whatever????

garry i agree as a said in previous post they are very handy but they just dont get the light of day now,SGB sent a memo near twenty years ago for ALL yards to dispose of them and it was GB that used em more than anyone as they were designed for the podger\ckey.havent seen one in near twenty years.

I got a couple and a c spanner ( priory with a 7/16 box ) they can be really handy for basing out on awkward jobs

used em regular phillio,gb used em to save on hilti costs in late 80s early 90s used to say the building was brittle or listed the flatties were the better of the two to use a thought mate.

i prefer the mental ties , have a good look at it , give it a shake,have a think and if you dont think its gonna fall leave it at that

fixing reveal ties

if you are fixing a reveal tie dont fix it as the brand book shows on the right side if you do whilst tighteniing it something allways slips ( hand spanner packing) with your hand pushing up it generally goes straight through the window so put it on the left side so you're pulling down, when striking slacken off from lift above

 

[philliosmaximus]

Mental ties like mental sway braces are the recommended method practice for price work

or even lean a nice heavy ladder against the job , safe as houses

 

[philliosmaximus]

extra strong if you tie the ladder although this might be going over the top

 

[allan666]

tie the ladder ? what with . the mind boggles
