Adjustable Econo-Lok
Difficult masonry work is made easier and walls stronger with the use of "Adjustable Econo-Lok" designed and manufactured by AA Wire Products Co., 6100 S. New England Ave., Chicago, III. 60638.
Econo-Lok is a continuous adjustable wire tie system for faced or veneer concrete block and brick walls in which the horizontal mortar joint of the facing does not align with the horizontal mortar joint of the back-up. A stirrup-shaped wire fits within the protruding loops of the continuous wire back-up which holds the wall firmly together laterally, while allowing adjustment for joints not lining up.
Adjustable Econo-Lok provides horizontal restraint and added tensile strength to both face shells of a hollow masonry unit back-up wythe. All wire is flush-welded for maximum strength.
