HeliMate Helical Bar Installation Guide


Using EZYBOND Epoxy or EZY Grout – Step-by-Step


Tools & Materials Needed

  • HeliMate 6mm or 8mm Helical Bars (1000mm length)
  • EZYBOND Epoxy Resin or EZY Grout
  • Dual-cartridge applicator gun (for epoxy) or pointing gun (for grout)
  • Static mixing nozzle (for epoxy)
  • Angle grinder with mortar chaser blade
  • Wire brush & air blower or vacuum
  • Trowel or pointing tool
  • Colour-matched mortar for final finish
  • PPE: gloves, goggles, dust mask


Installation Steps

Step 1: Cut Horizontal Slots

  • Use an angle grinder to chase horizontal slots into the mortar joint.
  • Slot length: 1000mm
  • Slot depth: 30–40mm
  • Slot width: 8–10mm
  • Space slots 450–600mm apart vertically, in alternate brick courses.

Step 2: Clean the Slots

  • Remove dust and debris using a wire brush and vacuum or blower.
  • Clean slots ensure strong bonding.

Step 3: Prepare the Bonding Agent

  • EZYBOND Epoxy: Load twin cartridges and attach static mixer nozzle.
  • EZY Grout: Mix until lump-free and creamy.

Step 4: Apply First Layer of Adhesive

  • Inject EZYBOND or EZY Grout into the back of the slot, forming an even bed.
  • Fill slot approximately halfway.

Step 5: Insert the Helical Bar

  • Push the HeliMate bar (1000mm) into the slot and gently rotate.
  • Ensure it is fully embedded in the adhesive.

Step 6: Apply Second Layer

  • Cover the bar with more adhesive to fully encapsulate it.
  • Finish flush with mortar joint surface.

Step 7: Repoint and Finish

  • Once cured, repoint the slot using colour-matched mortar.
  • Clean surface and allow proper curing time.

Curing Time

  • EZYBOND Epoxy: Sets in ~30 mins | Fully cured in ~24 hrs
  • EZY Grout: Refer to datasheet (typically 24–48 hrs)

Pro Tips

  • Maintain 450–600mm vertical spacing between reinforcement slots
  • Don’t apply in rain or below 5°C
  • Always wear appropriate PPE
  • Ensure clean, dust-free surfaces for best adhesion
