#270 S.I.S. Ladder Eye-Wire with Seismiclip® Interlock System

DESCRIPTION:
Ladder 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.
Projecting eyes are flush-welded at 3 points to the backup ladder 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 ladder 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).
