Partition Top Anchor -Channel
Anchor
PTA-C Partition Top Anchor (Channel Type) is designed to provide lateral restraint at the top of masonry partition walls while allowing controlled vertical movement of the structure above. This system accommodates slab deflection and thermal expansion without transferring compressive loads to the masonry below, helping to prevent cracking and structural distress.
The anchor is fixed to the concrete or steel structure, with a neoprene sponge or other compressible filler installed between the structure and masonry. This allows safe vertical expansion and contraction while maintaining stability.
Function
Provides lateral restraint at partition wall head
Allows vertical movement due to slab deflection and thermal effects
Prevents transfer of vertical loads to masonry
Reduces risk of cracking at wall junctions
Ensures flexible and durable wall-to-structure connection
Material Options
Pre-Galvanized Steel
Hot Dip Galvanized Steel
Stainless Steel
(Refer to general specifications for full material standards)
Dimensions
Thickness: 2 – 3 mm
Notes
Neoprene sponge or other compressible filler is placed between structure and masonry to allow controlled movement
Other dimensions, sizes, and material finishes can be supplied upon request
