T Tie Rod vs L Tie Rod in Column Formwork

T Tie Rod vs L Tie Rod in Column Formwork

T and L tie rods are special formwork connection components with different geometries from a standard straight threaded tie rod. They are used in specific multipurpose-panel and column-formwork connections.

T Tie Rod

The T-shaped component is used in designated panel connection points according to the formwork system.

L Tie Rod

The L-shaped component serves a different connection geometry. It should not be treated as automatically interchangeable with the T-shaped component.

Difference from a Straight Tie Rod

A standard straight tie rod forms a linear tensile connection between opposing formwork faces. T and L components serve specific panel and column connection details.
