BT Corrugated Wall Ties — Reliable Masonry-to-Stud Anchoring
The BT Series Corrugated Wall Tie (Item ID: BT22SP) is a 22-gauge galvanized steel straight tie designed to anchor masonry veneer to wall studs. Intended for use by masonry contractors and construction professionals, this tie provides a tested load-at-failure rating of 1,370 lbs. for dependable structural connection. The corrugated profile and galvanized finish deliver the mechanical interlock and corrosion resistance required in exterior masonry applications. Available in Tamlyn's Stackpack® packaging format for efficient jobsite handling and storage.

The BT22SP distinguishes itself through Tamlyn's Stackpack® packaging system, which allows ties to be stacked tightly in the box, enabling up to 5 pallets to be stored on top of each other and sold by the sleeve or by piece count (250 or 500) — a logistics advantage over loose bulk packaging. The 22-gauge galvanized construction delivers a tested load-at-failure of 1,370 lbs., providing contractors with a quantified performance benchmark for structural planning.
Key Features & Benefits
22-Gauge Galvanized Steel Construction
Fabricated from 22-gauge galvanized steel, these ties resist corrosion in exterior masonry environments. The galvanized finish is suited for the moisture exposure typical of brick veneer wall assemblies.
Tested Load-at-Failure Rating
With a load-at-failure rating of 1,370 lbs., contractors have a concrete performance figure to reference when specifying or inspecting masonry tie installations. This rating supports confidence in the structural integrity of the masonry-to-stud connection.
Stackpack® Packaging
Tamlyn's Stackpack® format lines ties up tightly in the box, allowing up to 5 pallets to be stacked on top of each other for efficient warehouse and jobsite storage. Suppliers can sell by the sleeve or by piece count (250 or 500), reducing waste and simplifying inventory management.
Straight Profile with Consistent Hole Spacing
The straight tie design with 7/8 in. hole spacing provides uniform fastener placement across the tie width of 6-3/8 in. Consistent hole spacing simplifies installation and ensures repeatable anchoring performance across the wall assembly.
Single-Bend Design
The product is engineered to require only one bend to achieve the desired 90° form. Repeated bending weakens the steel and can cause fracture at the bend line; the single-bend design reinforces correct installation practice and preserves the tie's rated performance.
Common Applications
Masonry Veneer to Wall Stud Anchoring
The BT22SP is designed specifically to tie masonry veneer to wall studs, providing the lateral connection required in brick and masonry cavity wall assemblies.
Commercial and Residential Masonry Construction
Suitable for use by masonry contractors on both commercial and residential projects where corrugated wall ties are specified for masonry-to-framing connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the load-at-failure rating for the BT22SP wall tie?
A: The BT22SP has a tested load-at-failure rating of 1,370 lbs.
Q: What gauge and material is the BT22SP made from?
A: It is made from 22-gauge galvanized steel.
Q: What packaging options are available for BT Corrugated Wall Ties?
A: Ties are available in Stackpack® (lined up tightly in box, sold by sleeve or by piece count of 250 or 500), bulk (loose in box), and a retail pack of 100.
Q: Can the tie be bent multiple times to adjust the angle during installation?
A: No. Only one bend to the desired 90° form should be made. Repeated bending weakens the steel, may cause fracture at the bend line, and voids any performance warranty. A fractured tie should be discarded immediately.
Q: What are the dimensions of the BT22SP tie?
A: The tie is 6-3/8 in. wide with a hole spacing of 7/8 in.
Q: What is the primary function of the BT Series Corrugated Wall Tie?
A: It is designed to tie masonry to wall studs in masonry veneer wall assemblies.
