Also Repairs Cracks in Brick VeneersNew Heli-Pin From Powers Stabilizes Brick, Masonry Walls

For Immediate Release
(December 2006) - With the new Heli-Pin helical façade anchor from Powers Fasteners, Inc., contractors can stabilize both brick and masonry walls and make invisible repairs to masonry building facades.

Heli-Pin can stabilize both brick and masonry walls

The corrosion-resistant stainless steel anchor tie creates a reliable mechanical connection between the masonry facades and the underlying base material. The anchors can serve as reinforcement for ties that are corroded or missing and can also be an integral part of new construction by being embedded into the mortar joints. Heli-Pin anchors have a reinforced core for high shaft strength and perform in concrete and masonry as well as wood and steel studs.

They come in a variety of lengths and diameters, for a broad range of applications, and can be installed with no exposed hardware. You merely drill a pilot hole through the facade material and into the backup material, position the Heli-Pin anchor in the installation tool, mount on SDS rotary hammer drill and insert into the pilot hole. The anchor is counter-sunk 1/2" below the outer surface, ensuring a clean, seamless look, and a simple fill and patch is all it takes to complete the "invisible" repair.

Powers Fasteners offers an extensive line of mechanical and adhesive anchors; roofing fasteners; gas-firing tools, and powder actuated fastening systems serving professional construction and plant maintenance markets. For more information, visit Powers' website at www.powers.com.
