#77: Wing Nut Pos-I-Tie® Brick Veneer Anchoring System (Patent# 7,415,803)

The Wing Nut POS-I-TIE® is a two-piece system for attaching Brick Veneers to various steel stud and other backup walls. For backups with insulation or gypsum board, the post anchor screw penetrates the insulation, screws directly into the backup, while sealing the penetration.

U-Seal Technology™ allows adjustment of the wing nut and the neoprene washer along the threaded shaft to obtain a positive watertight seal PREVENTING MOISTURE from reaching the backup wall. U-Seal Technology™ also allows up to 3/4" adjustment to fit a variety of combinations of insulation and sheathing.

The barrel of the anchor makes a positive contact with the backup wall transferring all compression and tension loads to the backup wall and not to the insulation/gypsum board.

The Wing Nut Pos-I-Tie® is equipped with a 5/16" hex head, to be installed using a standard 5/16" hex socket.
NO MORE special adapters required!

Front loading Pintle Tie is easy to install, and provides better axial load resistance due to the two, symmetrical points of contact with the Wing Nut™ when installed.

The Pintle Wire Tie can be furnished with a seismic clip, where required. The Pintle Wire Tie style allows full vertical adjustment of up to 1 ¼" up or down for easy and proper embedment in mortar bed.

Barrel Lengths
 
Determining the Proper Wing Nut Pos-I-Tie® Length:
(See Chart to the Right)

Add up the thickness of the sheathing (insulation + gypsum board). This will be the number that falls between the “Adjustable sheathing dimensions - gray shaded” area on the chart. Add in your airspace and make sure the total distance from the backup to the start of the veneer is less than the overall length of the screw from the backup. If two screws fit the criteria, choose the shorter overall length screw.


Example:
5/8” Dens-glass with 2” insulation and 2” airspace. Sheathing thickness is 2-5/8”. Distance from backup to start of veneer is 4-5/8”. Both the 3-5/8” screw and the 4-1/8” screw fit the criteria. Specify the 3-5/8” long screw.

Advantages
 
  • U-Seal Technology™ allows up to 3/4” inward adjustment to fit a variety of combinations of insulations and sheathing, and also creates a water-tight seal preventing moisture from reaching the backup wall. Once installed, the Wing Nut is hand tightened to seal the factory-installed washer against the insulation.

  • Easy installation with standard 5/16" hex socket. NO MORE special adapters required.

  • Front loading of Pintle Wire Tie to save time and labor.

  • The Pintle Wire Tie style allows full vertical adjustment of up to
    1 ¼" up or down for easy and proper embedment in mortar bed.

  • The Pintle Wire Tie can be furnished with a seismic clip, where required.

  • Provides positive lateral support directly against the backup wall.

  • Delivers a two-pronged symmetrical and flexible connection, which allows differential thermal expansion. and bending.

  • Available in Zinc Plated Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel.
