Flat-Plate: The Flat Plate component 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 (conforming to CSA CAN3-A370 and ASTM A123 requirement of 401 g/m2/side [1.31 oz/ft2/side] of zinc coating), and stainless steel.

The length of the Flat-Plate can vary to accommodate stud widths (S), of 92 (3.6"), 102 (4"), 152 (6") and 203 mm (8"), and insulation plus gypsum sheathing thickness, (I + G), of 0 (0") to 127 mm (5").

The stud width dimension (S), should be the same as the actual stud width for easy and proper Flat-Plate placement; i.e., install the end of the Flat-Plate flush with the interior face of the stud.

Thermal bridging reducing holes are incorporated within the insulation thickness portion of the Flat-Plate.

A series of five 5.8 mm (0.23") diameter holes are utilized to attach the V-Tie™ component to the Flat-Plate component.

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 (conforming to CSA CAN3-A370 and ASTM A153 requirements of 458 g/m^2/side [1.5 oz/ft^2/side] of zinc coating), and stainless steel. The legs of the V-Tie™ are mortared into place at the centerline of the brick veneer. V-Tie™ sizes of 60 (2.4"), 80 (3.1"), 100 (3.9"), 120 (4.7"), 140 (5.5"), 160 (6.3"), 180 (7.1"), 200 (7.9"), 225 (8.9") and 250 mm (9.8") lengths are available.

Insulation Support: The Insulation Support is manufactured from polyethylene, and is optionally used to secure the sheet insulation in place.
