DESCRIPTION:
PTA Series Partition Top Anchors have been developed to provide lateral shear resistance at the upper limit of masonry walls.
They permit vertical deflection of the slab above, without transferring compressive loads to the masonry wall below.
PTA Series Anchors are suitable for construction using steel or concrete.
PTA Tube with expansion filler is placed over rod anchor, which has been attached to concrete or steel by any of the methods illustrated.
The vertical joint is then filled with mortar, fully surrounding tube.
PTA Tube is not required with the PTA-422. H & B #NS Neoprene Sponge placed between the concrete block and the PTA-422 allows vertical expansion and contraction.
DIMENSIONS/GAUGES:
12 ga. thick
Available for 4?-12? block
AVAILABLE FINISHES:
Pre-Galvanized, Hot Dip Galvanized or Stainless Steel
NOTE:
H & B provides engineering calculations for all standard PTA Series Partition Top Anchors upon request. Special high-load designs can be manufactured on a special order basis. Contact our technical department for information
