The only eye-wire with a fully continuous butt weld!
The newly redesigned 270-2X Ladder Eye-Wire Adjustable Joint Reinforcement now features butt-welded eyes. This new design ensures precise spacing within the interior wythe while delivering enhanced strength and durability you can rely on for every build.
The 270-2X is designed for use with the compressed-leg 2X-HOOK™, a patented pintle tested and designed to withstand over 200 lbf in tension or compression at the maximum allowed offset (ACI 530 6.2.2.5.5.4) of 1-1/4” (disengagement of the pintle from the veneer anchor). These results exceed BIA recommendations and surpass the capabilities of standard round-wire hooks or pintles by over 100%.
- NOTE: 2X-HOOK™ CAN BE INSTALLED WITH LEGS POINTING UP OR DOWN.
- The embedded portion of the 2X-Hook is 3/16”DIA round wire, satisfying the code requirement that the mortar bed thickness (typically 3/8”) must be twice the diameter of the wire.
- 2X-Hook: U.S. Pat. No. 8,613,175
- Test results available upon request.
Benefits:
- Allows construction of interior wythe in advance of exterior wythe
- 2X-Hook acts as a vertically adjustable anchor to bond exterior masonry, while restraining in and out movement
- Design of 2X-Hook serves to mechanically secure insulation to masonry backup
- Fabricated in conformance with ASCE/ACI 530 building code requirements for masonry structures and ASTM A 951 (standard specification for masonry joint reinforcing)
GAUGES:
- Reinforcing for interior wythe can be STANDARD WEIGHT (9 ga x 9 ga), EXTRA HEAVY (3/16" side rods x 9 ga cross rods), or SUPER HEAVY DUTY (all 3/16")
- Eyes and 2X-HOOK™ are 3/16" dia. standard
PACKING DIMENSIONS:
- Packed 500' per bundle (50 pcs - 10' long)
