MASONRY TIES & CONNECTORS
Tanfor has partnered with one of North America's leading masonry tie and connector manufacturer's, FERO Corporation.
We import FERO ties and connectors for all your masonry requirements.
Tanfor has access to the full suite of FERO products should you require any additional FERO materials for your build.
BRICK TIES
FERO THERMAL SLOTTED RAP-TIE
FERO THERMAL SLOTTED RAP (Rod Adjustable Plate) TIE affixes masonry veneer walls to a structural backing stud either directly, or by surface mounting to any sheathing sitting over the stud. The structural backing can be steel, wood or miscellaneous metal. This tie is designed to transfer tensile and compressive lateral loads to the stud backing.
The FERO V-Tie is inserted into the slot and allows 2 inches of vertical play to align with the grout bed. After set-up, the V-Tie provides a constant connection of the veneer wall to the structural backing without any risk of veneer disengagement.
This tie transfers loads that are perpendicular to a wall but is not designed to create unified wall assembly resistance.
FERO's Insulation Support (optional) is inserted over the end of the plate and is pressed against the V-Tie, enabling it to affix any insulation safely in place.
fero THERMAL holed rap-tie
FERO THERMAL HOLED RAP-TIE affixes masonry veneer walls to a structural backing either directly, or by surface mounting to any sheathing sitting over a stud. This tie is designed to transfer lateral loads to light structural walls with or without sheathing or concrete back-up walls. The L-shaped Plate is fastened to the front surface of the structural backing, which may be steel, wood, or concrete. Holes sit along the far end of the Plate, and the FERO V-Tie is inserted into the corresponding hole, providing a constant connection of the veneer wall to the structural backing without any risk of veneer disengagement.
The functionality of the FERO THERMAL HOLED RAP-TIE is to transfer lateral load from the exterior masonry veneer to the structural backing with the use of one fastener. By using multiple fasteners, both shear and axial forces can be resisted, and this enables the entire wall assembly to function as a whole. The wall thickness (including the veneer and structural backing) work to limit lateral load, offering reduced lateral deflections and increased resistance.
On an existing cavity wall where structural support is required to reduce lateral inflection, FERO THERMAL HOLED RAP-TIES are an effective retrofitting system to employ.
