#230-235-240-245 Ladder-Mesh for Composite
Wall Spec Sheet .pdf
Hohmann & Barnard's Lox All® Truss-Mesh and Lox
All® Ladder-Mesh are continuous lengths of joint
reinforcement that are embedded into the horizontal mortar joints
of masonry walls. Joint reinforcement has long proven to be
necessary for superior performance of masonry wall construction,
as it offers the following benefits:
Reinforces a variety of masonry walls
Greatly reduces cracking that can arise from thermal
stresses
Enhances resistance to water penetration, as cracks are
controlled
Increases lateral flexural strength
Bonds exterior and interior masonry wythes together in
composite or cavity walls
Bonds masonry at intersecting walls and corners
Increases elasticity
Increases performance of masonry walls under various
stresses
Fabricated in conformance with ASCE/ACI 530 building code
requirements for masonry structures, and ASTM A 951 (standard
specification for masonry joint reinforcement).
Available mill galvanized, hot dip galvanized or stainless
steel.
Reinforcing for 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").
Adjustable Joint Reinforcement with Eyes and Pintles.
Benefits:
Tru-Joint Feature: Projecting eyes are flush-welded at 3
points to the backup ladder reinforcement to prevent excessive
wire buildup. 3/8" joint thickness is easily maintained by
the mason. Allows full 5/8" mortar coverage from face of
block to the ladder side rod and provides deeper embedment of eye
anchors than butt-welded systems. (See ACI-530-02 Bldg. Code Sec.
6.2.2.5.3/4/5.)
Allows construction of interior wythe in advance of exterior
wythe.
Rectangular pintle acts as a vertically adjustable anchor to
bond exterior masonry, while restraining in and out
movement.
Design of pintle 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).
Available hot dip galvanized or stainless steel.
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 Pintles are
3/16" dia. standard.
The X-SEAL Anchor meets or exceeds requirements of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Building Code for air leakage
and water penetration. For test results, click on "Download
Additional Information" to the right. The new X-SEAL™
Veneer Anchor is packed with more features than any other anchor
on the market. Owners, architects and masons can be confident in
the performance of an "X-SEALED" metal stud / veneer
wall. The X-SEAL™ Anchor is the next generation veneer
anchor from H&B. The original DW-10-X® Anchor was
developed to address the problem of possible long-term
deterioration of the insulation or wallboard. The pronged legs
bridge the sheathing and abut the steel stud, affording
independent, positive anchorage. Compression of the sheathing by
positive loads is also prevented. The X-SEAL Anchor improves upon
the DW-10-X by moving the horizontal pronged legs in from each
end, enabling the backplate portion of the anchor to effectively
seal the wallboard /insulation. This helps to maintain the
integrity of the vapor barrier and prevents the ingress of air
and moisture through the sheathing. The pronged legs are now also
rib-stiffened and oriented closer to each other than on the
original DW-10-X, thus enhancing the compressive strength BY OVER
20%!
X-SEAL TAPE is adhesive-backed and is applied to
the substrate behind the X-SEAL ANCHOR for additional protection
against air and moisture infiltration. X-SEAL™ TAPE should
be applied in continuous lengths. Surface must be dry and free of
oils, dirt, dust, loose rust scales or any other materials which
might cause poor adhesion. Continuous lengths are recommended to
facilitate maximum adhesion. For correct application of
X-SEAL™ Tape, start from the bottom of the wall, up. Roll
on with an evenly distributed pressure applied via 3"
roller. Storage and protection: As recommended by manufacturer,
store X-SEAL™ Tape at a temperature between 60°F
(15.5°C) and 80°F (26.6°C). If exposed to lower
temperatures, restore product to 60°F (15.5°C) minimum
temperature before application.
For anchoring brick veneer to metal stud, masonry, concrete or
wood backup. (We carry a wide variety of screws for various types
of backups.) Primarily for use when there is no insulation and
little potential for wallboard deterioration. For insulated
walls, or when there is concern about eventual wallboard
deterioration, please see our X-SEAL Anchor.
HB-200 is an adjustable veneer anchor. The
L-shaped plate section has numerous ribs for added strength and
9/32" holes for connecting screws. The eyelets allow pintle
insertion (1 1/4" maximum allowable eccentricity) and are
sized to prevent in-and-out movement beyond allowable tolerances.
Veneer can be reinforced with optional Seismiclip(R) Interlock
System (9 gauge or 3/16" diameter continuous wire
available).

The Mortar Net is manufactured of high density polyethylene
(HDPE) or nylon strands woven into a 90% open mesh. It will not
react with common building products including PVC, polystyrenes,
copper, rubberized-asphalt, lead, stainless steel or galvanized
metal. It will not absorb or trap moisture, will not support mold
or fungus, and is inedible to insects. It will not degrade as a
result of temperature variations and is designed to last for the
life of the building.
Catches and permanently suspends mortar droppings in masonry
cavity walls above the level of the flashing and weeps so
blockage of weep hole vents can't occur. Weep holes stay
open.
Eliminates the need for any other system to deal with mortar
droppings such as cotton wicks, pea gravel or batter boards.
Eliminates inexact design language such as, "weep holes
shall remain open," so designer takes control and
responsibility for the wall's performance.
Available 0.4", 1" or 2" thick.
Unique patented dovetail shape breaks up mortar droppings and
prevents mortar damming so water always has open flow paths to
the weep holes.
90% open plastic mesh construction allows unobstructed
passage of air & water through the material itself so walls
breath, drain and dry quicker.
Specifically designed to work in conjunction with standard
flashing/weep hole drainage systems in masonry cavity walls.
Simply stand in collar joint or cavity, requires no fasteners
or adhesives, no special skills or tools, so installation by
masons is fast and easy.
Lightweight for inexpensive and easy shipping, storage,
handling and installation - even on high scaffolding.
Slightly compressible to allow for cavity variations in the
field.
Isolates flow of grout in designated areas requiring reinforced
concrete block. Allows for greater bonding of masonry anchor in
hollow block construction.
