Wall Tie
Metal connectors used to bond separate wythes or layers of masonry together, ensuring they act as a composite structural unit. Wall ties transfer loads between wythes and prevent differential movement that could lead to cracking or separation. Made from corrosion-resistant materials and must be properly positioned and embedded for effectiveness.
