The Grip-Tie® Mechanical Repair Anchors include a dual-expansion anchor that establishes a mechanical connection by gripping the back-up and veneer, preparing them to be bridged with an anchor rod. This system does not draw walls together, eliminating additional tension stresses between wythes of material. Grip-Tie anchors can be applied to brick, stone, or precast veneers with concrete, metal stud, wood stud, CMU (hollow or grouted), structural steel, or brick back-up structures. Made from corrosion-resistant materials to extend the façade’s design life, the Grip-Tie anchorage system installs easily with hand or power tools.

Selection Guide 

• Use this quick-reference guide to determine the appropriate Grip-Tie Repair Anchor Series for veneers greater than 3" thick:
        • Solid back-up conditions – Refer to the 5000 or 5000R Series Anchors
        • Hollow back-up conditions – Refer to the 5100 Series Anchors
        • Structural steel back-up conditions – Refer to the 5200 Series Anchors
        • Stud (wood or steel) back-up conditions – Refer to the 5300R Series Anchors

Note 

• Typical spacing is one tie per four square feet of veneer for masonry or concrete back-up. For metal or wood stud back-up, 16-inch horizontal by 24-inch vertical spacing is common. Always consult local design and code professionals to confirm spacing and wind-load requirements.
