The
CT-16 Veneer Anchor System is designed to meet or exceed
relevant codes and building standards for veneer ties in the United Sates.
The CT-16 is a wire tie and plate combination system
which provides adjustability, minimal free-play, strength, stiffness,
positive connection, and corrosion resistance.
Using the WT-Tie,
the CT-16 meets relevant seismic anchor qualifications.
The anchor plate has been designed for mounting on the surface of sheathing
or stud, and accommodates insulation board without puncture.
The vertical orientation
of the CT-16 base plate assures good coverage of spray
foam insulation. It prevents gaps found beneath horizontal plates, and
doesn’t require secondary cleaning of spray foam insulation common
to other adjustable tie systems.
For anchored veneers,
the CT-16 assembly should be applied for cavity wall
construction of Level 1 institutional type and Level 2 industrial type
buildings for seismic performance categories A through E. The CT-16
system can be used with and without rigid insulation board and is ideal
for spray foam insulation applications. The CT-16 is
recommended for optimum air barrier integrity. Recommended for veneer
anchorage to metal stud, wood stud, masonry, and concrete substrates.
Use in new construction or retrofit masonry applications. Contributes
to green building construction and restoration projects. |
