Product Description
A 5‑1/2-inch bar tie is a short, pre‑formed tie used to secure intersecting pieces of rebar or wire mesh in concrete construction. It is commonly used in foundations, slabs, walls, and general reinforcement work to keep steel in proper alignment during placement and pouring. These ties are typically made from annealed steel wire for flexibility and strength, and they are widely used across residential, commercial, and industrial job sites.
Description
This bar tie is manufactured from high‑grade steel wire and formed into a 5‑1/2-inch double‑loop tie designed for fast, secure attachment of reinforcing bars. Its compact size makes it ideal for tying intersections in tight or repetitive grid patterns. The tie is flexible enough for quick twisting with a hook or automatic tying tool, yet strong enough to maintain structural positioning under load and vibration during concrete placement.
Bar ties of this size are frequently used with #3–#5 rebar, welded wire mesh, and slab bolsters. They help maintain spacing, prevent shifting, and ensure reinforcement remains in the correct position throughout the pour.
