Manufacturer
We offer over 20 years experience in the manufacture and fabrication of wire into masonry wall reinforcing materials and ties. Our large manufacturing capacity and in-stock inventory insures you the very best in service. We pledge complete customer satisfaction.

Our in-house galvanizing facility offers total product control, and insures optimum quality and quick turnaround on orders.

Product Line
We produce continuous systems of masonry wall reinforcing including truss and ladder designs. Variations are available to these standard designs to meet specific wall conditions and are illustrated in this catalog.

We offer unit ties designed to tie masonry walls to steel, concrete and masonry. They are manufactured in various finishes and sizes to meet specific conditions as shown.

MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATION

Interior Walls
Interior walls, which are non-load bearing, should utilize standard weight reinforcing with a mill galvanized finish.

Exterior Walls
Exterior load bearing walls need a three- or four-wire system with two longitudinal wires in the block and one or two longitudinal wires in the brick as conditions dictate. We recommend hot dipped galvanized after fabrication, ASTM A 153 Class B2 where complete protection from corrosion is required. Uneven coursing or conditions where block is laid first and brick later should use the adjustable tab or hook and eye system. An additional advantage to adjustable reinforcing is to provide a mechanical tie to restrain insulation in a partially filled masonry cavity wall.

Special Material
Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to make a wide variety of products, some of which are not shown in our catalog. Please contact us for specific advice and availability of any item you may require for masonry walls.
