3Gen Partition Top Anchor PTA-PL
The 3Gen Partition Top Anchor PTA-PL is designed for top-of-wall masonry connections where partition walls need lateral restraint while still allowing movement from the slab or structure above. This masonry top anchor helps stabilize the wall without transferring compressive loads into the masonry below.
Used in commercial masonry construction, structural masonry applications, partition wall systems, and multi-story building assemblies, the PTA-PL is embedded in the mortar joint at the top of the wall. Its rod-and-tube design with expansion filler allows vertical slab movement while maintaining lateral shear resistance.
Hot dip galvanized after fabrication, this partition wall anchor provides corrosion resistance for long-term jobsite performance. It is a practical choice for contractors needing a code-compliant top wall anchor for brick, block, and masonry wall assemblies.
