Frequently Asked Questions
- How does the BVLZ brick veneer ledger connector work?
- The two tension screws pass through the mortar joints into the structural framing, while the compression strut transfers compression forces from the ledger plate to the rim joist. This design enables the ledger to hang freely without bearing on the brick veneer.
- Do I need to remove brick veneer to install the BVLZ-KT4?
- No. The BVLZ brick veneer ledger connector is specifically engineered to install without having to remove or replace large sections of brick veneer, and it minimizes penetrations through existing exterior water barriers.
- Will this connector meet building department requirements?
- Yes. The BVLZ is a code-compliant, tested solution that enables inspection and approval by building departments in a retrofit construction application, making it a viable alternative to building a free-standing deck.
- What corrosion protection do the connectors and fasteners offer?
- The 12-gauge steel connectors feature ZMAX galvanization for extra corrosion resistance suited to exterior and treated-wood applications. The tension screws carry a Class 55 HDG coating (SDWH27), and the shear screws feature an SD9 double-barrier coating.
