The system can accommodate a range of insulation thickness of 0 to 102 mm (0 to 4”), and air space width of 25 mm (1”) and greater. The Plate accommodates the thickness of the insulation and projects 18 mm (0.7”) into the air space. The V-Tie™ is inserted in the appropriate hole in the Plate to run horizontally into the mortar joint of the brick veneer, with the legs of the V-Tie™ located at the centerline of the brick veneer.

Plate: The Plate is manufactured from 16 gauge (1.61 mm [0.063”] thick) sheet metal conforming to ASTM A570, and is available in hot dipped, galvanized, and stainless steel. The hot dipped galvanized finish conforms to the CSA CAN3-A370 and ASTM A153 requirement of 458 g/m2/ side (1.5 oz/ ft2/side) of zinc coating. The incorporation of holes in the Plate minimizes thermal conductivity through the tie system.

V-Tie™: The V-Tie™ is manufactured from 4.76 mm (0.19”) diameter wire conforming to CSA Standard G30.3, and is available in hot dipped galvanized finish, and stainless steel. The hot dipped galvanized finish conforms to the CSA CAN3-A370 and ASTM A153 requirement of 458g/m2/side
(1.5 oz/ft2/side) of zinc coating.
