Brick veneer anchor spacing:
For adjustable two-piece anchors, nine-gage wire anchors and 22-gage corrugated sheet-metal anchors; provide one anchor for each 2.67 square feet of wall area. For all other anchors, provide one anchor for each 3.5 square feet of wall area. Space anchors at a maximum of 32 inches horizontally and 25 inches vertically. Additional anchors should be placed around openings larger than 16 inches in either dimension. Space them around the opening perimeter at a maximum of three feet on center and within 12 inches of openings.
Mortar bed joint thickness must be at least twice the thickness of the embedded anchor (3/16-inch wire tie requires a 3/8-inch minimum joint.)
Correctly specifying, detailing and installing the proper masonry anchoring system for your project will help insure a trouble-free structure for many years to come. IMAS
