Installation guidelines for a welded wall tie on a beam
The welded wall tie is 6 7/8" (17,5 cm) long and should protrude from
the beam by a maximum of 3 7/8" (10 cm), as shown in fi g. 6.42.
The welding electrode used must be E70-XX series.

Wall tie welded on beam
Installation guidelines for fi xed wall ties
Fixed wall ties must be installed on a wall between two
layers of brick (fi g. 6.40). It is important to make sure that
several layers of brick have been laid on top of the fi xed
wall ties and that the mortar has cured properly before
attaching mast ties to the wall ties.
The gaps between the anchoring structure and the back
of the brick wall must not be greater than 1 1/2" (3,8 cm),
as shown in fi g. 6.41.
Installation guidelines for a re-usable wall tie
Used mainly for masonry construction projects, the re-usable wall
tie is installed in a wall cavity.
When dismantling the setup and removing mast ties, the re-usable
wall tie is removed and the brickwork is completed.
Maximum distance
1 1/2" (3,8 cm)
Anchoring System
Installation guidelines for horizontal anchoring
Horizontal anchoring can only be installed at a 0° angle from horizontal. Wall ties used for
horizontal anchoring installations must be able to sustain 1500 lb (680 kg) of tension/compression
and 3000 lb (1361 kg) of shear force.
Type of wall tie used for horizontal
anchoring installations
WARNING
It is important to consider that fi xed or reusable wall ties must only be used for
vertical anchoring installations, not horizontal.
