Abstract
The wall tie comprises a length of wire and includes a plurality of flattened areas thereon defined between end shoulders for each. A locking arm on concrete forms engaged about the tie engages over an outer half of a chosen flattened portion, and engages adjacent forms together. To keep the form from encroaching into the portion of the flattened area to be engaged by the locking arm, the outer half of each flattened area incorporates a stop member which, when abutted against an outwardly directed surface of the form, eliminates the need for repositioning of the form to allow for appropriate engagement of the locking arm thereover.
