#3 Anchor Lock

Gates’ Lightest Gang System

• Form Weight—approx 5#/sf (typical design)
• #3 Anchor Locks are attached to the form and lock the pass-thru ties with a 1 1⁄2” breakback
• Plastic Tie Hole Sleeves are easy to build into the forms and fit closely around the cone preventing excessive grout loss
• Attached hardware and loop end ties hold forms apart while setting and yield a precise wall thickness—no internal spreader needed

Typical Form Design

• Typical tie pattern is 16”x24” using common forming materials (2×6 & 4×4 lumber and 3⁄4” plywood)
• 2250# safe working load (2:1 safety factor)— adjust tie pattern/pour rate according to specific job needs
• Straightforward gang form fabrication design is quick to build and easy to modify
• Customizable and flexible system–adaptable to most other types of wall forming systems
• Assembled forms have no loose hardware
• Gang forms can be connected using Gates 2”x2” Punched Angle with loose or attached “U” Clamps

Versatile Forming System

• Great for radius forming (ask about pre-cut wood radius walers or Gates Radius Steel Walers) form perfect curved walls
• Gates builds custom forms delivered to the jobsite ready to set with minimal assembly
• #3 Anchor Locks, Adjustable Form Braces and Scaffold Brackets are plated for corrosion resistance—Gates hardware is available for rental
