#170 Lox-All Truss Adjustable Eye-Wire w/S.I.S.

DESCRIPTION:
Truss Style Adjustable Joint Reinforcement with Eyes and Pintles; Seismiclip® Interlock System to reinforce outer wythe.
Enhanced Performance:
The use of a continuous wire in masonry veneer walls is beneficial in providing additional protection against problems arising from thermal expansion and contraction
It also allows for a more uniform distribution of lateral forces
Seismic Zone Conformance:
This system conforms to the requirements of the Uniform Building Code for seismic zones
The code requires anchored veneer walls to have a continuous wire embedded in the mortar joint. The wire is secured to the tie anchor, which is fastened to the supporting structure
Special Feature:
Projecting eyes are flush-welded at 4 points to the backup truss reinforcement to prevent excessive wire buildup
3/8" joint thickness is easily maintained by the mason
Allows full 5/8" mortar coverage from face of block to the truss side rod and provides deeper embedment of eye anchors than butt-welded systems. (See ACI-530-02 Bldg. Code Sec. 6.2.2.5.3/4/5.)
Allows construction of interior wythe in advance of exterior wythe
Rectangular pintle acts as a vertically adjustable anchor to bond exterior masonry, while restraining in and out movement
Design of pintle serves to mechanically secure insulation to masonry backup.
Economical. Add the Seismiclip® and Continuous Wire to standard adjustable systems at little additional cost
Fabricated in conformance with ASCE/ACI 530 building code requirements for masonry structures and ASTM A 951 (standard specification for masonry joint reinforcing)
GAUGES:
Reinforcing for interior wythe can be STANDARD WEIGHT (9 ga x 9 ga), EXTRA HEAVY (3/16" Side Rods x 9 ga Cross Rods), or SUPER HEAVY DUTY (all 3/16")
Eyes and Pintles are 3/16" dia. standard.
AVAILABLE FINISHES:
Hot Dip Galv./Stainless Steel
