The Thermal 2-Seal™ Wing Nut Anchor is a single screw veneer tie for metal stud construction, featuring a dual-diameter barrel with factory-installed ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) washers to seal both the face of the insulation and the air/vapour barrier, and thermal wings designed to decrease thermal transfer through rigid insulation.

Projecting thermal wings:

• are made from steel encapsulated in plastic to create a thermal break;
• accept a 2X-HOOK™ or Seismic 2X-HOOK™ and spin to easily orient pintles/hooks parallel to masonry joints; and
• up to 13 mm (1/2 in.) of inward adjustability to account for variations in wall thickness.

H&B's stainless steel barrels have one-third the thermal conductivity of carbon steel barrels and one-seventh the thermal conductivity of the zinc barrels of our competitors products. It is made with a 8 mm (5/16 in.) hex head.It is adaptable for seismic zones with the simple addition of 9 gauge or 5 mm (3/16 in.) continuous wire and a 2X-HOOK™ Seismic Pintle (SH)The embedded portion of the 2X-Hook is 5 mm DIA round wire, satisfying the code requirement that the mortar bed thickness (typically 9.5 mm [3/8 in.]) must be twice the diameter of the wire.
