What To Use
On Shaky Ground:
The Wire-Bond Clip.
The Wire-Bond Clip is the first steel welded clip designed for adjustable veneer systems in seismic applications. Masons like it because it installs quickly, and they're confident of its performance. Straight and eut wire fits easily into the clip providing a strong continuous system in the brick veneer. The clip and wire fit into a 3/8" mortar joint, and are aligned in the same level plane as the hook. This insures heavier mortar coverage and avoids the hassles of using bulky clips which could result in oversized mortar joints.
The Wire-Bond Clip is available with all our adjustable hook-and-eye systems including rectangular ties, adjustable tab, and the RJ-711, our plate-and-hook combination which ties masonry to steel studs. Our new HCL-711 has the added feature of two pointed prongs which pierce wallboard, minimizing compressive movement.
The Wire-Bond Clip and associated veneer systems conform to requirements of Uniform Building Codes for seismic zones. We've conducted extensive laboratory tests and the results are available for your review. Contact your Wire-Bond distributor today, or call us at 1-800-849-MRCA (6722). The Wire-Bond Clip... use it on shaky ground!
