Stacking Clips
Stacking Clips
An Easy Way to Extend Your Forms
The Panel Clip and the Stacking Clip are thin, strong, steel clips for joining 1-1/8” plywood panels to other 1-1/8” stock (HC-112) or to 1-1/2” lumber (HC-150). Either clip gives you a quick, inexpensive way to pour a slightly higher wall with your existing form panels.
HC-150
1-1/8”plywood to 1-1/2” lumber
The HC-150 allows you to add extra height to your forms using 1-1/2” lumber.
HC-112
1-1/8”plywood to 1-1/8” plywood
The HC-112 allows you to add extra height to your forms using 1-1/8” plywood.
Stacking Clips and Stacking Spreaders
Steel Dog Stacking Spreaders (shorter versions of our popular Footing Brackets) are a fast way to secure the planks when using HC-150’s and “2 by” stock on top of your forms. They’re especially useful when stacking on 4-bar forms because they help prevent the bottom of the planks from spreading due to the liquid head of concrete.
Other Uses
Stacking Clips can be used to make temporary filler panels on the spot from 1-1/2” lumber (or use HC-112’s and 1-1/8” plywood.) As shown on the right, joining up to an existing wall sometimes requires a scribed board to match an uneven surface. Use HC’s to join a 2x4 or 2x6 to the first form panels. Cut board to match adjoining surface.
Also use the same technique to make panel-to-panel fillers in the middle of a wall to get exactly the width you want, or to cut for wall pass-throughs.
ALWAYS BE SURE TO ADEQUATELY WALER OR BRACE FILLERS AGAINST THE FORCE OF THE POUR.
