Type A tie

Standards
a tie not required to have specific seismic design characteristics. Type A ties are as follows:
  1. (a) Type A cavity tie—a tie, together with its fixings or anchorages, used to transfer face loads between skins (leaves) of a cavity wall while being capable of accommodating differential in-plane horizontal and vertical deflections between the attached elements.
  2. (b) Type A veneer tie—a tie, together with its fixings or anchorages, used to transfer face loads from a veneer to a structural backing while being capable of accommodating differential in-plane horizontal and vertical deflections between the attached elements.
  3. (c) Type A remedial tie—a tie manufactured for installation after a masonry leaf has been erected. Remedial ties may be either cavity ties or masonry veneer ties and are usually used to replace defective ties, or where ties have been omitted.
