ABSTRACT:
A masonry tie is provided for engaging a masonry veneer to an underlying support wall. The tie includes a rod and a stud engagement member engageable to the rod. The stud engagement member comprises first and second clamp members that clampingly engage a face plate of the stud. A sealing member may be engaged to the rod to sealingly engage the sheathing of the building wall. The sealing member may include a resilient sleeve encircling the rod that expands radially when compressed axially to grip the hole within the sheathing. A further aspect of the invention includes a tool for the installation of the stud engagement member. The invention further includes a method for installing a tie rod as described above in a retrofit application. The method requires the steps of drilling first, second and third coaxial holes through the brick veneer, sheathing and stud face plate, respectively. The tie rod is inserted through the holes such that the first and second engagement members are positioned on opposite sides of the stud face plate. The engagement members are then drawn towards each other to clampingly engage the face plate. A similar method is employed for new construction applications of the tie.
