Pencil Rod Clamps

Pencil Rod Clamps – Essential Fasteners for Lite Concrete Forming

Pencil rod clamps are critical components widely utilized in concrete forming projects, especially suited for lightweight or "lite" concrete applications. Manufactured from durable cast grey iron, these clamps offer excellent strength, resistance to wear, and reliability in various construction scenarios. They securely attach smooth or deformed pencil rods to tie forms, facilitating the creation of stable and temporary formwork systems.

Each pencil rod clamp is equipped with a set screw assembly designed to ensure a tight, secure fit around the rod, minimizing slippage and enhancing form stability. Nail holes are integrated into the clamp to allow quick and secure attachment to wales, ensuring precise positioning and rapid installation.

Pencil rod clamps come in two common diameters—1/4" and 3/8"—providing flexibility to accommodate different formwork thicknesses and construction requirements. Choosing the appropriate clamp size ensures optimal support and structural integrity during the concrete pouring process.

Key Features and Benefits of Pencil Rod Clamps:

• Ideal for lite concrete forming applications, providing stability without excessive weight.
• Made from durable cast grey iron, ensuring long-lasting strength and corrosion resistance.
• Heavy-duty durability withstands repeated use and tough construction environments.
• Easy installation and reusable design reduce labor time and overall project costs.
• Set screw assembly offers secure fastening and reliable form support.
• Nail holes simplify secure attachment to wooden wales and other formwork materials.

Typical Applications of Pencil Rod Clamps:

• Residential and commercial lite concrete forming projects
• Temporary formwork systems requiring quick installation and disassembly
• Structural repairs, renovations, and remodeling involving lightweight concrete
• Vertical and horizontal form setups for walls, columns, and beams
• Custom and specialized formwork applications
