Aluminum Forms Accessories
Precise offers a wide range of forming accessories. For a full list please view our catalog.
Attached Hardware
Attached Hardware
Many contractors have a preference for attached hardware as it reduces the amount of materials that must be managed, accounted for, delivered to the worksite, and routinely maintained. Attached hardware systems greatly reduce the need for loose hardware, lower accessory costs, reduce setting time, shorten stripping time, and reduce labor costs.
Captive Pin
The Captive Pin is extremely fast and efficient. Productivity will increase while reducing the amount of lost hardware. Compatible with existing competitive equipment.
Set & Lok
The Precise Forms Set & Lok offers the best of a fast and positive locking system. The Set & Lok can be used with our Retractable Long Pin or the Captive Pin.
Retractable Short Pin
The Retractable Short Pin greatly reduces the need for loose hardware which lowers your accessory cost, setting time, stripping time and labor cost.
Retractable Long Pin
The Retractable Long Pin can be retracted to allow the use of standard pins and wedges if required.

Pins, Wedges, and Fasteners
A wide variety of accessories are available for Precise aluminum forming systems.
Standard Pin
The wedge slot in a Precise Tapered Pin is milled, not swedged, for uniform quality. It is made of heat treated steel for greater strength. Dimensions
Flat and Curved Wedge
Tapered Wedges lock forms together securely. Curved Wedges offer the ability to be used in stack form operations with less worry of vibrating out when the wedge is used in a horizontal position.
Hooked Wedge
Standard wedges can potentially release pressure during form stripping. This tension build up can potentially cause a wedge to fly out. The J-hook design will deflect the wedge reducing that potential.
Coil Bolt
The Coil Bolt is designed with large threads for extra speed and strength. Available in lengths of 2” and 4”. Special lengths are available upon request.

Walers
Waler brackets are pinned directly to the forms to straighten the wall and minimize bracing.
WARNING: Waler Brackets of any style are not designed for work platforms.
Waler Bracket
Waler Brackets are available for standard size lumber or aluminum channel. These steel brackets are pinned directly to the forms to straighten the wall and minimize bracing. They are designed for Smooth Aluminum.
Waler with Pin
The Waler Bracket with Pin is designed for quick setting and stripping. No additional loose hardware is required. Please specify if they are for Smooth Aluminum, Textured Brick, Smooth Brick, or V-Tek Brick Forms when ordering.
Adjustable Waler
The Adjustable Waler Bracket makes setting and removing waler lumber quick and easy. Please specify if you are using Smooth Aluminum, Textured Brick, Smooth Brick, or V-Tek Brick Forms when ordering. Available in 2”x3” or 2”x4” sizes.
Vertical Waler
Vertical Waler Brackets are used mainly in a stack form situation. Please specify if you are using Smooth Aluminum, Textured Brick, Smooth Brick, or V-Tek Brick Forms when ordering.

Scaffolding
Scaffolding provides a safe work environment on tall or stacked walls.
1 – Scaffolding for Rails
Safety Scaffolding allows double 2×10 planking, toe boards, mid rail, and guard rail. Scaffolding pockets fit metal or wood vertical rail. Available with or without pin.
2 – Vertical Metal Rail
The Vertical Rail provides support for toe guard, mid rails and guard rails in Safety Scaffolding.
3 – Wood Rail Bracket
The Wood Rail Bracket is used to connect the lumber vertical rail to the mid rails and guard rails in combination with Safety Scaffolding.
Scaffold Bracket
The Scaffold Bracket pins securely to the form. The bracket has a supporting leg that straddles the side rails for added stability. It is available in a variety of sizes, with or without a pin, and with or without the waler.

Wall Ties
Wall Ties are available in multiple styles and lengths.
8″ O.C. Hole Pattern
6-12 Hole Pattern
Flat Wall Tie
Flat Wall Ties hold the forms at the desired distance from each other. When ordering make sure to specify standard (nominal) or full tie dimension.
Breakback Wall Tie
The Breakback Tie is designed to break off recessed into the wall which allows the wall to be sealed to prevent rust staining. Special ties for deeper break-off can be made upon request.
Combo Wall Tie
The multiple hole configuration of the Combo Tie is perfect for when changing wall thickness. They can be customized to any length and come with three or four holes, depending on the contractors design needs.
Pull Tie
Pull Ties can be removed from the finished wall and reused for many pours. They are perfect for areas where shipping charges are extremely high.

Pour Ready Process
With the Precise Pour Ready Process your equipment comes to the job site ready to pour.
Untreated Forms
When casting with new aluminum forms that have not been seasoned you will experience a chemical reaction that has two effects. The wall will have a unsightly appearance and also sticking of concrete residue to the form face.
Treated Forms
The Pour Ready Process minimizes unsightly oxidation or “worming” on the concrete surface from the reaction of the initial pour. When used with a quality reactive form release agent the Pour Ready Process minimizes concrete from sticking on aluminum forms during initial pours.
