Formwork Tie Rod Water Stopper - Water Barrier Nut

The tie rod water stopper is a formwork accessory used to prevent water leakage or seepage through joints and to ensure structural integrity during concrete forming and shuttering. It is a small formwork component commonly used in retaining walls, water tanks, basements, and tunnel construction.
The formwork tie rod water stopper is a cast-iron formwork nut. It has a centre disc, known as a water stop, water barrier, water barrier nut, or waterproof nut.
During formwork installation, the tie-rod water stop is compatible with DW15 and DW20 tie rods, the formwork wing nut and the tie-rod PVC cones.
Plastic caps usually protect them at each end for repeated use.
Welmade is the leading manufacturer and exporter of tie rod water stop barriers in China.  We produce black and GI (zinc-plated/E-gal) water stoppers for your formwork tie-rod waterproofing systems.
