3Gen Dovetail Partition Top Anchor PTA-DT - 100/Box

3Gen Dovetail Partition Top Anchor PTA-DT

The 3Gen Dovetail Partition Top Anchor PTA-DT is designed for top-of-wall masonry connections where dovetail slots are used. This masonry anchor provides lateral shear resistance while allowing vertical slab movement, helping protect partition walls from compressive loads caused by building movement.

Used in commercial masonry construction, multi-story buildings, and partition wall assemblies, this dovetail top anchor helps stabilize the wall without locking it rigidly to the structure above. The anchor includes a tube with expansion filler to accommodate movement and is embedded in the mortar joint for a secure connection.

Hot dip galvanized after fabrication, the PTA-DT provides corrosion resistance for long-term performance in demanding masonry wall systems. It is a practical choice for contractors installing top-of-wall connections in brick, block, and dovetail slot applications.
