For transferring high tensile loads between structural and facade elements while allowing vertical movement due to thermal differentials or foundation settlement.

Typical Applications:

• Windload restraint of precast facade panels.
• Windload restraint of retained facades with new structures constructed behind.

JORDAHL® Toothed Straps JVB together with JORDAHL® channels are used as wind load restraint connections between various combinations of structural and facade components. Steel, concrete and brick components can be connected by the system.

Using bolted connections through slotted assemblies, the interlocking teeth of the toothed straps allow adjustment of positioning while acting horizontal loads are safely transferred. The strap is allowed to slide vertically to accommodate differential thermal movement or structural settlement.

Features and benefits:

• Can transfer high tensile and compressive loads.
• Allows adjustment of positioning between connected components.
• Allows differential thermal movement between components
