When used on the top of 6-bar forms (or other forms where the top panel bar is within 8 inches of the top), generally only the top of the planks will have to be tied together. On 4-bar forms, Steel Dog Stacking Spreaders are a fast way to prevent both the top and bottom of the planks from spreading.

Stacking Clips are a great way to maximize an investment in 8 ft panels, providing a quick and inexpensive way to pour up to 8 ft 11 in walls without investing in new wall panels.

The HC-150 Stacking Clip is a thin, strong, steel clip for joining 1-1/8" plywood panels to 1-1/2" lumber. It's an inexpensive way to add inches to your forms. Just slip one clip over the top of each form panel, then slide a length of "2 by" onto the top. Nail holes provided to secure the clip to plywood and board. Strips easily.

ALWAYS BE SURE TO ADEQUATELY WALER OR BRACE FILLERS AGAINST THE FORCE OF THE POUR.

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.

Stacking Clips can be used to make temporary filler panels on the spot from 1-1/2 lumber (or use 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 HCs to join a 2x4 or 2x6 to the first form panels. Cut board to match adjoining surface. Secure ties at joint between first form panel and the temporary filler with .

Other Uses

The SP-1 is used when stacking 4-bar form panels, or panels that do not allow for staggered height arrangements. Put the SP at the place where four panels meet. Accepts standard residential wall tie. Heat treated for extra strength.

A common use of the HC-112 is as an aid to setting standard narrow filler panels horizontally on the top of a wall of form panels. By using the filler panels' swing latches on one side, and half clips on the other, standard wall ties can be used to tie the wall at the joint between the fillers and the normal wall panels. This is particularly useful for stacking with 4-bar panels, where the top tie location (on 8 ft panels) is 22" from the top.

The HC-112 is just like the HC-150 Stacking Clip above, except that it joins 1-1/8" to 1-1/8" panels. Like the , it is a thin, strong clip and is used to primarily for adding extra height to your form panels.
