POS-I-TIE^® Brick Veneer Anchoring System

The Pos-I-Tie^® System is a two-piece anchor used to easily attach brick veneer to Metal Studs, Concrete, CMU, Brick, or Steel Beams. Unlike other systems the screw is a part of the systemno inferior screws can be substituted. The barrel portion penetrates the gypsum board and makes a Positive Lateral Connection with the backup for transfer of compression and tension loads. A neoprene washer comes installed for preventing moisture from entering the gypsum board.

UA-USES, APPLICATIONS

The Pos-I-Tie^® system is used to attach brick veneer to backups of Steel Studs, Concrete, CMU, Brick, Wood, or Structural Steel.
 
 

AI-ASSEMBLY, INSTALLATION

Use a drill with a depth sensitive nose piece or a variable clutch adjustment. The Pos-I-Tie^® screw is placed into the reusable chuck adapter. For steel studs drill Pos-I-Tie^® through gypsum board into the metal stud (this takes about 5 to 10 seconds per screw!). For structural steel center punch prior to drilling. (High tensile steel or very thick steel may require pre drilling a 3/16" pilot hole.) For concrete, CMU or brick use the reusable con drive adapter with drill bit. Pre-drill a 3/16" hole to a depth of 2" and slide the con drive sleeve over the drill bit and insert the Tapcon Screw into the chuck adapter. Torque screw into the predrilled hole.
