Veneer Ties R2 Gal Z600 YELLOW BOX | Brickie

Abey is a wholly-owned, third generation, Australian family company.

All Abey masonry products are proudly Australian made in Australia to conform to Australian Building Standards and conditions.

For over 50 years, Abey has been the leader and innovator in masonry brick ties.

Any construction within a coastal area should incorporate corrosion-resistant stainless steel ties for maximum effectiveness.

Just as incorrect brick specification can lead to salt damage in coastal areas, ordinary galvanised mild steel brick ties can result in hidden damage to brick walls.

Abey’s steel ties cover durability exposure classification R2, R3 and R4.

A masonry veneer tie is a wall tie which is designed to tie a single leaf (wall) of masonry to a load bearing frame, providing stability to the leaf of masonry against lateral loads.

Basically, the tie will transfer all forces from a masonry leaf across that cavity to the load bearing frame.

The tie for brick veneer is essential to the structural soundness of a dwelling.

Brick ties tying the brick leaf to timber studs are an important feature of brick veneer dwellings.

Contrary to popular belief the masonry is supported by the timber frame – not visa versa.

The Abey Sheriff Face Fixing Tie has been designed to conform to stringent Australian Standards AS2699 and AS3700.

It allows for timber shrinkage and brick growth that can occur in this type of construction.

It has a very narrow shank so that any mortar that drops down the cavity does not stick onto it.

It’s rated light duty or medium duty. It’s also available as a side fixing tie
