The Original Pos-I-Tie® is a two-piece system for attaching brick and stone veneer to various existing backups. It simultaneously penetrates the exterior insulation, makes positive contact with the backup for transfer of lateral loads, and seals the hole in the insulation with an EPDM washer under the barrel head. Introduced in 1985, The Pos-I-Tie® was the first barrel screw in the industry and has been successfully anchoring veneers for 35 years.
Standard sizes for sheathing thicknesses of 5/8", 1", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", 3-1/2", 4" and 4-1/2".
Custom lengths beyond 4-1/2" are available.
Pos-I-Tie® 3/16" diameter Wire Triangle Ties available standard in lengths of 3", 3-1/2", 4" and 5" in hot-dip galvanized and stainless steel. Custom wire tie lengths are available.
The Pos-I-Tie. KeyBolt is designed for easy and effective stone anchor attachment where sheathing/insulation is installed over the backup wall. The KeyBolt system penetrates the sheathing, drills into the backup, and seals the hole to avoid water/air penetration. All compression loads are transferred to the backup through the KeyBolt without damaging the sheathing. When ordering, specify the type of stone anchor with the “KeyBolt Slot".
