Where carbon steel ties and anchors are specified, corrosion protection must be provided by either galvanizing or epoxy coating in conformance with the following (ref.

This is especially significant as more insulation is used between the outer and inner wythes of cavity walls and where wythes of dissimilar materials are anchored together. Allow differential in-plane movement between two masonry wythes connected with ties.There is no specific criteria on connector stiffness, but some authorities suggest that a stiffness of 2,000 lb/in. It is important to reduce the potential for cracking in masonry due to deflection. Transmit out-of-plane loads from one wythe of masonry to another or from masonry to its lateral support with a minimum amount of deformation.As a result, when selecting connectors for a project, designers should consider a number of design criteria. Connectors play a very important role in providing structural integrity and good serviceability.
