The Difference Between PVC Tie Rod Pipe And Reusable Threaded Rod Sleeve For Aluminum Formwork

There are two types of plastic sleeve for threaded rod, one is disposable and the other is reusable. They are used in the same way, both are used with steel tie rod or threaded rod in order to fix the formwork.

Although they are both used with tie rod, they are very different in terms of materials and uses.

The disposable PVC tie rod pipe is made of PVC. It has ribs on the surface to increase friction, the inner diameter is 18mm. Both ends are tubes of the same diameter. The reserved wall hole is much smaller than the reusable threaded rod sleeve, and with average toughness and strength. After the concrete wall is poured, the tie rod can be taken out, while the PVC tie rod pipe will be left in the wall and can not be taken out or reusable, it is also called one-time use PVC tie rod pipe. Advantages: cheap, convenient, fast and hassle-free.

The reusable threaded rod sleeve is made of ABS. Compared with the PVC tie rod pipe, it has excellent toughness, strong strength and high precision, which can better avoid slurry leakage. After the concrete wall is poured, the tie rod can be taken out directly, and the threaded rod sleeve can also be taken out with a tool and reusable. The reusable threaded rod sleeve can be used more than 50 times.

● Advantages:
