In most cases the tie bar kit is attached to
the set of glazing bars that sit at the end of
the ridge as shown below.
The lugs will be attached to the bottom of
the relevant glazing bars where the tie bar is
to be positioned. Three lengths of threaded
tie bar rod and three lengths of conduit to
cover the rod are supplied with each 3 way
tie bar.
Two lengths run horizontal to the lug
attached to the glazing bar and into the
centre 3-way tie bar boss. The final threaded
bar and conduit is fixed vertically into the
ridge from the tie bar centre boss.
Firstly attach the vertical tie bar rod through
the ridge. Slide a M10 fixing nut into the
ridge centre over the pre-drilled hole.
With the locking nut in place screw the
vertical tie bar rod into place, through the
ridge centre and into the locking nut.
At this stage it is a good time to fit the ridge
under cladding with the tie bar rod fitted in
place. The ridge under cladding needs to be
inserted and passed up the tie bar rod until it
reaches the ridge centres and can be push
fit onto the serrated prongs.
Thread the vertical tie bar conduit over the
treaded bar and insert into the hole in the
internal ridge cover. Leave the tie bar rod
hanging down vertically from the ridge.
