Max Frank fibre reinforced concrete distance tubes are used to guarantee concrete wall thickness when using reusable tie bars. Due to their large contact area, the pressure on the formwork is reduced. Available in a variety of sizes and configurations, please contact us for more details.
Max Frank fibre concrete distance tubes are ideal for securing wall thickness for high requirements. Distance tubes are used with reusable tie bars to guarantee the concrete walls thickness. They bond monolithically with the concrete and thus prevent the penetration of water and other concrete damaging substances.
Distance tubes can be combined with other accessories from Max Frank to create a proven system for a wide range of physical and chemical influences on structures. Distance tubes are used to guarantee concrete wall thickness when using reusable tie bars. Due to their large contact area the pressure on the formwork is reduced. MAX FRANK sealing cones and stoppers fixed in position with Repoxal two component glue are used for sealing the distance tube and surface recess. Tubes can also be sealed using Kombistop stoppers without the need for glue. The whole system incorporating tubes, stoppers and sealing cones has been tested and approved as producing gastight, impermeable and fireproof seals.
