Abstract: A retainer clip for use with concrete form tie for retention of reinforcing rods has a one-piece body which includes a header, and first and second clips extending angularly therefrom, spaced apart in a first direction, and defining therebetween a generally u-shaped opening sized to slidably receive a reinforcing rod of generally circular cross section. Each of the clips include first and second prongs spaced apart in directions lateral to the first direction, and at least two prongs of the clips further define therebetween a narrow generally rectangular passage which intersects at least a portion of the u-shaped opening, and is sized to receive at least a notched form tie of generally narrow rectangular cross section. The retainer clip secures the reinforcing rod in position substantially against the form tie in a notch to inhibit both relative motion in the first direction and substantial separation therebetween.
