What is the difference between the Nominal Tie and Full Tie?

They look almost the same from the feature, but with different lengths.For example, Wall ties used in the forming of cast-in-place concrete walls are made in nominal or full dimensions. An 8-inch nominal wall tie does not measure a full 8 inches in width and therefore, when used, will not result in an 8-inch thick concrete wall. An 8-inch full wall tie, as the name implies, does measure a full 8 inches and will result in an 8-inch thick concrete wall. Therefore, nominal size wall ties are not acceptable, full dimension wall ties are required.

When ordering, please make sure to specify standard(nominal) or full tie dimension.
