Partition Top Anchor – Dovetail (PTA-DT) is designed for use at the top of slab masonry walls where dovetail slots are present. This anchor provides lateral stability while allowing vertical movement of the structure above, preventing compressive loads from transferring to the wall below. Featuring a tube with expansion filler and a dovetail connection, it integrates seamlessly into dovetail slot systems. The assembly is embedded in mortar to ensure stability and long-term performance. Manufactured from high-strength materials and hot dip galvanized after fabrication, it offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance.
