Waler Clamps
Waler Clamps
A Rugged, Versatile Clamp for 1-1/8” Forming
TWC-450
Using the TWC-450 is the best way to secure a 2x4 to the top of your form panels for perfectly straight walls. Sets securely with a quick blow to the wedge, and strips just as easily.
Like all Steel Dog hardware, the TWC is designed and manufactured with the user in mind. Heavy-gauge steel, rounded corners, no sharp edges--the TWC is rugged and made to withstand years of heavy use.
WBW-4
The slotted end of the versatile WBW slips over a hex shoulder bolt anywhere on a 1-1 /8" form panel. The rounded-corner wedge securely tightens a 2 x 4 wedge against the plywood form panel. When used on the top bar of 6-bar forms, the WBW is a slick alternative to the Top Waler Clamp: easier to set up and strip, it also leaves the top of the forms free of obstructions for easier concrete pouring and finishing.

Stepped Wall Construction with TWC’s
The “backbone” of each TWC has a hole for screwing or nailing into a board. This is useful in difficult forming situations such as the stepped wall shown here. The TWC’s secure a 2x4 waler to the INSIDE face of each interior section of a stepped wall, with the wedge against the form. Then, a screw is run through the TWC into the 2x4 to help support the weight of the inside form panels.
(CAUTION: THIS IS A SUGGESTED USE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER TO ASSURE THAT THE FORMWORK IS CONSTRUCTED IN A SAFE MANNER.)
A Better Way to Straighten Your Walls
The slotted end of the versatile WBW slips over a hex shoulder bolt anywhere on a 1-1/8" form panel. The rounded-corner wedge securely tightens a 2 x 4 wedge against the plywood form panel. When used on the top bar of 6-bar forms, the WBW is a slick alternative to the Top Waler Clamp: easier to set up and strip, it also leaves the top of the forms free of obstructions for easier concrete pouring and finishing.
When used with 4- or 5-bar panels, the WBW can hold a mid-wall waler when stacking panels for high walls.
