Seismic products from DUR-O-WAL
Seismic products from DUR-O-WAL are designed to take seismic and high wind loads off your buildings. And your mind.
Their shear lugs hold Pencil Rod or Seismic Lodur "in place for greater pullout resistance and ductility in seismic zones 3 and 4.
Made from structural steel instead of wire, they stand up better to all types of stress. In all applications, DUR-O-WAL seismic products are "user friendly.
Take Seismic Dur-O-Eye" and Ladur-Eye with the patented steel plate welded right to the reinforcement, eliminating time-consuming clips. Positioning tabs align assembly with masonry wall, assuring proper mortar coverage and embedment. Pintle adjusts 1-1/4" up or down and 1/2" horizontal for for different course heights in-plane movement.
For veneer to steel stud or wood stud, or veneer to existing CMU or concrete, DUR-O-WAL recommends its Seismic D/A 213 systems. They include the same plate and pintle features as Seismic Dur-O-Eye and Ladur-Eye.
DUR-O-WAL's Seismic Channel Slot and Dovetail Anchor assemblies are designed to fit standard channel and dovetail slots.
Take a load off your mind. For code approved ties that stand up to seismic conditions and high winds, contact your DUR-O-WAL representative or coll toll free: 1-800-323-0090.
