Jahn A Bracket - Snap Tie Clamp - Hot Dipped Galvanized

Holds Snap Ties Securely During Concrete Pours

Sandbaggy Jahn A Brackets (also known as Snap Tie Clamps) securely hold snap ties while supporting a single horizontal wale or vertical stud on nearly any wall form — straight, curved, battered walls, beams, or columns. Designed for stability during concrete placement, they help keep forms aligned and secure under load.

The 5/8” eccentric take-up adjusts tightly against lumber to compensate for minor thickness variations, ensuring a snug fit. Made from heavy-duty steel and hot-dipped galvanized for maximum corrosion resistance, these brackets are built for repeat use on demanding jobsites — without rental yard markup.

Backed by our 1-Year Ironclad Warranty — built tough and protected against manufacturing defects under normal use.

Sandbaggy carries a variety of snap ties & accessories.

FAQ

What is the Jahn A bracket used for?

The Jahn A bracket is a concrete forming clamp that is used in concrete formwork to hold snap ties in place. Together Jahn A brackets and snap ties are a versatile and efficient concrete forming system that can be used on a wide variety of projects.

What is a snap tie in construction?

Snap ties are an essential component in formwork for concrete, connecting two distinct surfaces. Made of either plastic or steel, these ties feature a cone-shaped head at one end and a threaded rod on the other. The Jahn A bracket then holds the snap tie in place and also supports the wale or stud.
