DUR-A-BILITY...
hallmark of the Dur-O-Wal veneer anchor system
DUR-O-WAL's entire product line has been designed to reinforce and strengthen walls and facades since 1939 and its new veneer anchor system provides triple-duty durability.
1. Heart of the system is the D/A 213 adjustable speed-set veneer anchor. Unique 2-screw design doubles protection against failures due to stud corrosion or deterioration; provides 100% better back-up than ordinary anchors.
ALLOWS MOVEMENT IN PLANE
Double leg pintles give twice the strength and allow half the distortion of anchors with a single pintle leg. D/A 213 provides maximum movement control, speeds installation time and accommodates up to 3%" rigid insulation. NEW FEATURES-D/A 213 is now available with No. 4 gage pintles for twice the stiffness. New options in corrosion resistant Climaseal or self tapping stainless steel screws. D/A 213 veneer anchors are available mill galvanized, hot-dipped galvanized, stainless steel or epoxy coated.
2. Easy to overlook, yet no less a part of the overall system, Dur-O-Wal's D/A 1005 clear plastic weep holes minimize moisture build-up to reduce interior corrosion.
GETS THE WATER OUT
Standard" O.D. x 4" long tube provides weep holes at bottoms of walls and shelf angles. They are virtually invisible taking on the color of the surrounding mortar.
3. And finally, the Dur-O-Wal veneer wall system features flexible joint fillers to keep mortar and other foreign material out and allow adequate expansion. D/A 2010 Rapid Soft-Joint protects horizontal expansion joints; D/A 2015 Rapid Expansion Joint with adhesive protects vertical expansion joints.
ACCOMMODATES EXPANSION
Dur-O-Wal's flexible joint material is closed cell neoprene and conforms to ASTM D1056 class RE41. Compressibility exceeds 50%. Make Dur-O-Wal DUR-A-BILITY a hallmark of all your wall systems. For complete details and data sheets, call or write today.
