Adjustable Joint Reinforcement with Eyes and Pintles. Benefits:
Tru-Joint Feature: Projecting eyes are flush-welded at 3 points to the backup ladder reinforcement to prevent excessive wire buildup. 3/8" joint thickness is easily maintained by the mason. Allows full 5/8" mortar coverage from face of block to the ladder side rod and provides deeper embedment of eye anchors than butt-welded systems. (See ACI-530-02 Bldg. Code Sec. 6.2.2.5.3/4/5.)
Allows construction of interior wythe in advance of exterior wythe.
Rectangular pintle acts as a vertically adjustable anchor to bond exterior masonry, while restraining in and out movement.
Design of pintle serves to mechanically secure insulation to masonry backup.
Fabricated in conformance with ASCE/ACI 530 building code requirements for masonry structures and ASTM A 951 (standard specification for masonry joint reinforcing).
Available hot dip galvanized or stainless steel.
Reinforcing for interior wythe can be STANDARD WEIGHT (9 ga x 9 ga), EXTRA HEAVY (3/16" Side Rods x 9 ga Cross Rods), or SUPER HEAVY DUTY (all 3/16"). Eyes and Pintles are 3/16" dia. standard.
