|
The
tie system provides great strength performance at MAXIMUM tie adjustability
(worse case).
Ultimate Tension = 450 lbs;
Ultimate compression = 600 lbs with a
4” cavity plate of applied loading
|
|
Allows
for greater tie spacing and as a result, creates fewer breeches in
the air barrier system.

|
Assembly
stiffness is greater than 6300 lbs/in in tension and 13,800 lbs/in
in compression.
|
|
The
veneer wall deflection under load will be minimal, which lessens the
likely hood of cracking and the resultant moisture migration through
the crack.

The
veneer tie system is designed for positive single connection to back-up
building structures with mechanical fasteners.
|
|
The
use of a single tek screw with 16 gauge metal stud back up, or the
use of a single Torque-Tie brass masonry fastener for concrete or
masonry back-up; or the use of a single 1/4”
lag for wood stud back up creates fewer penetrations through the air
barrier system. |

WT
tie can be used within seismic designated areas or non-seismic areas
without clips, tabs, or add-ons. It is produced from 3/16” diameter
wire manufactured of carbon steel or stainless steel.
|
|
The
WT design simply engages with veneer reinforcement for added ductility
and strength in seismic events. As a basic tie it creates an interlock
with the mortar as a result of its design. Installs quickly and is
safe to handle. |

Base
plate and tie combination offer significant adjustability.
Vertical adjustability = 1-1/2”
Horizontal movement = +/- 1/2”
|
|
Provides
installation ease and it accommodates for the thermal and seismic
movement of the veneer.

Base
plate assembly is mounted vertically to the stud system.

Eliminates
mortar build up on the plate which creates a moisture bridge to the
back-up, installs easily and aligns with insulation board. Spray foam
applications do not plug the slot or sag about the plates projection. |
