Tie Rod Pipe - 22-25mm x 2mtr

Our PVC Pipe, also known as a thruty sleeve or conduit, is an essential component in modern concrete formwork systems. This rigid PVC tube is used as a protective and spacing sleeve over formwork tie rods. Its primary function is to prevent the tie rod from bonding with the concrete during pouring, which allows for the easy removal and reuse of the expensive tie rods after the concrete has cured.

In addition to protecting the tie rod, the PVC pipe also acts as a precise spacer, ensuring the correct wall thickness and maintaining the exact distance between formwork panels. Supplied in standard lengths, these pipes can be easily cut to the required size on-site to match the specific dimensions of the concrete wall. They are used in conjunction with plastic cones (Thruty Cones) at each end to create a clean recess for post-pour grouting.
