Why specify the SEISMICLIP^® INTERLOCK SYSTEM?

1. The use of a continuous wire in masonry veneer walls is beneficial in providing additional protection against problems arising from thermal expansion and contraction. It also allows for a more uniform distribution of lateral forces.
2. This system conforms with requirements of the Uniform Building Code for seismic zones.* The code requires anchored veneer walls to have a continuous wire imbedded in the mortar joint. This wire is to be secured to the anchor, which is fastened to the supporting structure.

Architects, owners and contractors desiring to reinforce masonry veneer for either of the above reasons can now specify this positive mechanical system.

Horizontal joint reinforcement wire and BYNA-TIE are snapped into SEISMICLIP and fully surrounded by mortar. This allows wire, BYNA-TIE and DW-10 Series Anchor to work as a single unit fastened to the steel stud backup.

*CONFORMS TO UBC SEC. 3006 (d) I (i)

THE SEISMICLIP*
