We produce continuous systems of masonry wall reinforcing including truss and ladder designs. Variations are available to these standard designs to meet specific wall conditions and are illustrated in this catalog.

WIRE-BOND®'S Level Eye is a continuous adjustable system designed with in-line eyelets welded to the side rod of 3/16" or 9 gauge wire. Profile of the entire welded assembly -- eyelets, pintles, cross and side wires -- does not exceed .3/16" in height. This insures complete mortar coverage for maximum strength.

The WIRE-BOND clip conforms to requirements of Uniform Building Codes for seismic zones. Continuous straight and cut wire is installed in the Wire-bond clip which is embedded in the mortar joint. The tie is installed in the plate or eyelets which are fastened to the support structure. This adds stability and protects against problems associated with thermal expansion and contraction. Also provides more uniform distribution of lateral forces.

Available for both ladder and truss, Level Adjustable tab has in-line tabs welded to side rods of 9-gauge or 3/16" wire. Profile of welded assembly does not exceed 3/16" height. Exceeds requirement of ASTM951. New design of tab meets ACI530 code. Tab lengths extend beyond block to accommodate varying widths of insulation. Tabs and wall ties are 3/16" diameter wire.

16" o.c. ladder design positions cross rods on web of block to allow core clearance. This simplifies rebar installation; centering utilizes strength of grout. Allows unrestricted flow of grout or loose fill insulation into CMU cells. Minimizes re-setting of joint reinforcement around rebar. Improves resistance to shrinkage cracking. Provides stronger bond with cross rods in web of block. Less time devoted to rebar installation, grout pouring.

Ladder design is a prefabricated reinforcement for embedment in the horizontal mortar joints of masonry. It is manufactured in 10' 8" lengths from wire conforming to ASTM A 82 for cold drawn steel wire. It consists of two or more parallel and deformed longitudinal wires welded to perpendicular cross wire spaced 16" o.c. Out-to-out spacing is approximately two inches less than the nominal thickness of the wall.

All masonry walls, composite and cavity, shall be reinforced and tied with WIRE-BOND® ladder tab (options: adjustable tab, hook and eye) as manufactured by WIRE-BOND. Ladder design consists of two or more deformed 9 gauge (option 3/16") longitudinal wires welded not more than 16" o.c. to a 9 gauge cross wire (option for 3/16" cross wire if so specified). All tabs and wall ties are made of 3/16" diameter wire.

Manufactured with double eyes welded 16" o.c. Out-to-out spacing of longitudinal wires shall be approximately 2" less than the nominal thickness of the block. Eye lengths are designed to span just beyond block or varying widths of insulation. All hooks and eyes are made of 3/16" diameter wire.

Corners and tees are available for any joint reinforcing product that we manufacture. 30" lengths are standard. Any size and finish can be made to order.

Truss design is a prefabricated reinforcement for embedment in the horizontal mortar joints of masonry. Manufactured in 10 foot lengths from wire, it conforms to ASTM A 82 for cold drawn steel wire. It consists of two or more parallel and deformed longitudinal wires welded to a continuous diagonal cross wire at 16" o.c. Out-to-out spacing is approximately 2" less than the nominal thickness of the wall.

All masonry walls shall be reinforced with WIRE-BOND masonry wall reinforcing, as manufactured by WIRE-BOND or equal. The wire shall conform to ASTM A 82 for cold drawn steel wire and shall be of truss design consisting of two or more deformed 9 gauge (option 3/16") longitudinal wires welded not more than 16" o.c. to a 9 gauge cross wire (option for 3/16" wire if so specified). Truss double hook and eye is manufactured with double eyes welded 16" o.c. All tabs and wall ties are made of 3/16" diameter wire.

Corners and tees shall be used at all corners and intersections. Installation shall be in strict accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Specify inside or outside corners for cavity or composite walls.
