piece anchors for these backups. The anchor systems typically consist of a metal plate or barrel screw attached to the backup with a receptacle for a wire tie that goes into the veneer mortar joint. The two-piece systems allow for vertical adjustment for placement in the veneer. There is a maximum allowable lateral "play" between the two pieces of 1/16-inch. The two-piece anchors allow for deflection and differential movement between the two walls. IMAS
