Proprietary resin anchor cavity wall tie kit system
Supplier reference for complete proprietary remedial cavity wall tie kit systems — integrating tie rod, resin or grout, and installation driver in a single coordinated package. Compares Helifix SockFix, Thor Helical, and Simpson Strong-Tie kit systems by kit type, resin, load data, and distribution.
Proprietary resin anchor cavity wall tie kit systems
Proprietary kit systems integrate the tie rod, resin/grout, and installation driver in a single-supplier coordinated package. Kit systems simplify procurement, guarantee component compatibility, and reduce the risk of field substitutions. The trade-off is that components are brand-specific and must be sourced from the same supplier. Structural engineer specification of tie configuration is still required regardless of which kit is selected.

| Supplier | Product | Kit Type | Resin | Distribution | Load Data | Key Feature | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Helifix Australia | SockFix Resin Kit | Tie + resin + tool | Proprietary vinylester | National (authorised) | Helifix published | Sock sleeve — consistent grout distribution | Standard proprietary kit system |

Do not confuse proprietary kit systems with:
- Vinylester resin anchor ties — separate vinylester resin specified independently from the tie rod — components from different suppliers are combined — listed on the vinylester resin anchor page
- Epoxy resin anchor ties — separate two-part epoxy systems (Hilti HIT-RE 500, Fischer FIS EM) used with Grade 316 tie rods — highest bond strength, dry substrates — listed on the epoxy resin anchor page
- Helical grout-in ties — grouted helical ties using cementitious grout (not resin) — different installation procedure and load mechanism — listed on the cavity ties — helical page
- Mechanical expansion ties — torque-set expansion ties with no resin or grout component — listed on the cavity ties — mechanical expansion page
- General purpose anchor kits — kit anchors for non-structural applications (picture hooks, shelf brackets) are not cavity wall tie systems and must not be used for structural masonry anchoring
Disclaimer
This page provides general technical information only. Cavity wall tie type, configuration, and spacing must be confirmed by a structural engineer against project-specific masonry conditions and AS 3700. Proprietary kit components must be installed per the manufacturer's specific installation instructions — do not mix components from different systems.
