The V-Tie™ is inserted in the slotted hole of the Slotted L-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.

Slotted L-Plate: The Slotted L-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 finish 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 voids in the Slotted L-PIate minimizes thermal conductivity through the tie.

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-A370-04 and ASTM A153 requirement of 458 g/m2/side (1.5 oz/ft2/side) of zinc coating.

Insulation Support: The Insulation Support is manufactured from polyethylene. The Insulation Support is inserted over the L-PIate and pressed up against the insulation sheathing, preventing the insulation from separating from the backup wall. The friction fit between the Insulation Support and the Slotted L-PIate provides for the support of the insulation sheathing during construction, while the resistance provided to the Insulation Support by the V-Tie™, ensures a reliable, durable structural insulation
support system upon installation of the V-Tie™.
