Amerimax Home Products 85131 Galvanized Wall Ties 500 Pack

Product Description

The AMERIMAX HOME PRODUCTS 85131 is a 500-pack of corrugated galvanized wall ties designed to anchor masonry veneer to structural backing in residential and light commercial construction. Each tie measures 7/8 inch wide by 7 inches long and is formed from 28-gauge galvanized steel, giving it the corrosion resistance needed for embedded masonry applications. The corrugated profile locks into mortar joints and provides a mechanical connection between wythes or between masonry and a framed substrate. Masons, bricklayers, and general contractors rely on these ties to meet code-required lateral support requirements during new construction and restoration work.

These ties are suited for three primary applications: tying brick veneer to a masonry backup wythe, connecting brick or masonry to wood or metal frame construction, and anchoring brick or masonry directly to a concrete wall. The 500-piece pack is sized for production masonry work where consistent, high-volume use is expected. The standard 7-inch length accommodates typical cavity wall and veneer wall assemblies found in both residential and commercial projects.

Installation Notes

Wall ties of this type are installed by masons and bricklayers as mortar joints are laid. Ties should be embedded a minimum depth into the mortar joint as specified by the applicable building code, such as the International Building Code or local masonry standards. Do not bend or crimp ties beyond the factory corrugation, as this can reduce load capacity. Consult project specifications and local code requirements to confirm tie spacing, embedment depth, and gauge requirements before installation.
