ABSTRACT:
A veneer anchoring system for use in the construction of a wall having an inner masonry wythe and an outer facing wythe is disclosed. A combination of a masonry anchor, a wall tie member, and a facing anchor is provided. The primary components of the system are reinforcing wire and wire formatives providing wire-to-wire connections therebetween. When the inner wythe is constructed from a masonry block material, the masonry anchor has a truss portion with eye wire extensions welded thereto. The eye wires extend into a cavity between the wythes. Each pair of eye wires accommodates the threading thereonto of a wire wall tie through the open end of the wall tie. The wall tie is then positioned so that the open end is utilizable as part of the facing anchor. The masonry anchor is embdedded in a bed joint of the interior wythe. The facing anchor has a straight wire run and mounted along the exterior wythe to receive the open end of wire wall tie with each leg thereof being placed adjacent one side of reinforcement wire. The facing anchor is embedded in a bed joint of the exterior wythe. Because the eye wires have sealed eyelets or loops and the open ends of the wall ties are sealed in the joints of the exterior wythes, a positive interengagement results. When the inner wythe is dry wall construct, a dry wall anchor, which is a stamped metal unit, is attached to the metal vertical channel members of the wall. Each wall anchor accommodates the threading therethrough of a wire wall tie. As the dry wall anchor is a closed loop and the open ends of the wall ties are sealed in the exterior wythe, a positive interengagement results.
