The new X-SEAL™ Anchor is the next generation veneer anchor from H&B. The X-SEAL Anchor improves upon the original DW-10-X® by moving the horizontal pronged legs in from each end, enabling the backplate portion of the anchor to effectively seal the wallboard/insulation. This helps to maintain the integrity of the vapor barrier and prevents the ingress of air and moisture through the sheath-ing. The pronged legs bridge the sheathing and abut the steel stud, affording independent, positive anchorage.
Compression of the sheathing by positive loads is also pre-vented. The pronged legs are now also rib-stiffened and oriented closer to each other than on the original DW-10-X thus enhancing the compressive strength. Owners, archi-tects and masons can be confident in the performance of an "X-SEALED" metal stud/veneer wall.
Available in leg lengths to accommodate 1/2"-3" sheathing. Hot Dip Galvanized or Type 304 Stainless Steel.
