No.77 THERMAL POS-I-TIE® Brick Veneer Anchoring System:

The THERMAL POS-I-TIE® is a factory assembled four-piece system that features a plastic wing nut, stainless steel barrel,  neoprene washer and screw inserts for steel stud, concrete, CMU, brick and wood 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 hole.

PLASTIC WING NUT:

  • Wing nut made from a high quality proprietary plastic material which acts as a thermal bridge, decreasing thermal transfer through insulation.
  • Highly flame resistant with a UL 94 V-0 rating.
  • Very low thermal conductivity, over 100 times less than metals such as steel.
  • Refer to ACI 530 Code Veneer Chapter section 6.2.1. Alternative design of anchored masonry veneer.

STAINLESS STEEL BARREL:

  • Very high corrosion resistance.

NEOPRENE WASHER:

 
   
  • For backups with insulation or gypsum board, the post anchor screw penetrates the insulation, screws directly into the backup.  The wing nut and neoprene washer seal the penetration hole completely preventing mositure from reaching the backup wall.

SCREW INSTERTS:

  • Self-Drilling Screw Inserts available for steel stud backup walls.
  • Concrete/CMU Screw Inserts available for concrete, CMU, brick and wood backup walls.

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.
