Section of Ties
Minimum sections for restraints for various
thicknesses of stone are shown in the table
below. Restraints for large stones and for use
where cavities are in excess of 100mm may
require special attention. They may need a
much bigger section than 20 x 2.5mm; ties
formed from 20 x 3mm, 25 x 3mm, 30 x
3mm and 30 x 4mm are frequently used for
restraining stone cladding.

Drip Position
Due to the wide varieties of design cavity and
stone and insulation thickness it is not possible
to standardise the position of any required YPB
drip. If a drip is required (e.g. YDB) please Min length 40mm
specify the position clearly, indicating from Min length 120mm 6x60mm loose dowel
which end of the tie the measurement is taken. 6x60mm loose dowel

Standard dowels are 6mm in diameter and
60mm long. These will be welded into the YP21
