Simpson Strong-Tie has secured code listing for its high-performance BTH brick tie, a first-of-its-kind, cost-effective solution for connecting stone and brick masonry veneers to light-frame construction across spans of two to three inches.
Introduced in August 2018, the BTH brick tie has been a significant innovation, helping contractors and homebuilders meet the ever-increasing spacing requirements of modern, high-performance residential wall systems. The BTH is fabricated from 22-gauge galvanized steel, and is designed to provide the flexibility needed to span wider airspaces between veneer and framing.
