|
Quality
Control |
|
 |
|
| |
Independent
activation provides for non-destructive methods to inspect immediately upon
installation or at a later date by using torque measuring technique&/or
equipment to test.
BENEFIT: Assure anchors are
working |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No
Field Assembly |
|
|
|
|
Anchors
are installed as complete assemblies and do not require field personnel
to site assemble.
BENEFIT: Speeds installation
|
|
|
|
No
Lateral Tensile Stress |
|
|
|
|
Does
not pull the two wythes of material together.
BENEFIT: Prevents cracking
of veneer |
|
|
|
Versatile |
|
|
|
|
Available
in multiple configurations for various backup building materials and cavities.
BENEFIT: Versatile |
|

|
|
|
Positive
connection techniques for questionably soft material or dense building material.
BENEFIT: Performance assurance |
|
|
|
Simple
to Install |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Designed
to be installed with screw guns or by hand using standard sockets or CTP
installation tools.
BENEFIT: Cost effective |
|
 |
|
|
Corrosion
Resistant Materials |
|
|
|
|
Provides
for long-term durability and dependability in most normal corrosion environments.
BENEFIT: Long-term durability |
|
|
|
Flexible
Shafts |
|
|
|
|
Provides
for in plane ductility while resisting out of plane loads.
BENEFIT: Does not restrict
thermal wall behavior |
|
|
|
Performance |
|
|
|
|
Capable
of supplying ultimate tension and compression capacity 10-20 times typical
wall tie performance.
BENEFIT: Less anchors can
be used |
|
|
|
Minimum
Disturbance |
|
|
|
|
Repair
anchors requires a small hole to be filled with mortar or caulk and doesn’t
require hammer setting which can disturb backup occupants.
BENEFIT: No scars of repair
and no noise to abate. |

|
|
Torque-Tie
anchors are typically installed at one anchor per 4 square feet of veneer
area to be retrofitted. It is recommended that you refer to your local building
codes and standards for spacing conditions requirements of wall ties and
anchors for appropriate compliance. |

Each
construction site is unique and the appropriate use of this product is the
reponsibility of the engineers, architects, and other professionals who
are familiar with the specific requirements of the project. The data reflects
the results of lab, field and in-house tests and are provided as a guideline
for the designer. Site testing is encouraged for verification of load capacity. |
