Fixing to Steel

Ancon 25/14
Restraint System
The Ancon 25/14 Restraint System fixes an outer leaf
of brickwork to a light steel frame, through any type
of insulation.
Self-drilling high-thread screws fix through the channel and the
insulation, into the steel. Once the channel is installed, stainless
steel SD25 or basalt fibre Teplo-BF-CT 25 wall ties can be
positioned at any point along its length and are built into the bed
joints of the outer leaf of brickwork.
Self-drilling high-thread screws are available for use with a
maximum combined insulation and backing board thickness
of 220mm. When using any thickness of rigid insulation board
or ROCKWOOL Rainscreen Duo Slab®, Isover Polterm Max
Plus, Kingspan Facades K-Roc Rainscreen Slab, Knauf
Insulation Rocksilk® Rainscreen Slab, Xtratherm Stonewool and
ROCKWOOL Nyrock® Rainscreen 032 with a maximum thickness
of 180mm, the screws can be installed directly through the
insulation. When using other thicknesses of these insulations
or other semi-rigid/flexible insulations, an Ancon Compression
Sleeve (the same depth as the insulation) should be used around
the fixing screws to provide the necessary support.
