Formties:
SuperTie is a fiberglass formtie system. Say good-bye to corrosion forever. SuperTie is easier to use, saves time, and is overall less expensive than traditional steel formties.
X-Plug:
X-Plug
Waterstop System
The only Mechanical plug for formtie holes/voids. |
|
The X-Plug is a “patent pending” mechanical plug specifically designed and engineered to seal
all types of formtie holes/voids. With the X-Plugs mechanical design tightening of the stainless
steel nut causes an expansion of the EPDM rubber plug, increasing its diameter inside the formtie hole. This action simultaneously compresses the main body plug onto the bolt to create a liquid andwatertight seal between the plug and the wall of the formtie void.
The X-Plug used with any formtie system has proven to save contractors 50% in labour and
material costs when compared to conventional methods. The X-Plug can be installed 20 times
faster than non-mechanical plug and patch and ensures a positive seal unlike the conventional
method.
The X-Plug has the capability and reliability to seal all formtie voids with a head pressure rating of 90 metres. There is no need to use epoxy or non shrink grout which is both time consuming and costly.
The 304 stainless steel bolt is compression set at 23kgs into the rubber grommet to ensure a nonslip or spin during installation.
A Xylan coating is applied to the stainless steel bolt to boost the corrosive resistance an extra 500 – 1000 hours in the ASTMB1117 salt spray test. The xylan coating also services as an antigalling/anti seizing agent.

Structures requiring the X-Plug
- Waste water treatment plants
- Water treatment plants
- Pump stations
- Reservoirs
- Dams
- Ground Storage facilities
- Chemical treatment facilities
- Flood control structures
- Any structure designed to be water/liquid tight.
|
Installation
- Clear formtie hole of all loose debris (an x-plug brush is recommended and available from Canzac. See accessories)
- X-Plug will seal 50 – 60% of wall thickness when properly selected.
- Attach the 12mm installation extension to a handheld drill. Place the nut side of the plug into socket and slide into void fully tighten nut.
- Once the nut has been fully tightened, the formtie void can be packed with patching material if desired for aesthetics

Considerations
Extreme cold
At below freezing temperatures Canzac recommends storing the product in a warm climate prior to installation to ensure maximum performance during installation.
Setting/adjusting
For maximum performance and to ensure the proper size waterstop plugs are ordered, the contractor should pay close attention to the diameter of the formtie hole.
Chemical resistance
The X-Plug is suitable for use in many but not all chemical applications.
Packaging
The X-Plug is packaged in sealed 19 litre pails, with convenient colour
coding to easily identify sizes. Emptied pails are useful for mixing grout
after sealing formtie holes.
