A wall tie being a steel rod having a first end and a second end, the first end having a tapered helical screw with a crimped stop located a predetermined length from the end thereof, the crimped stop adapted to retain a stopping means, e.g., a washer. The washer serves as a depth gauge such that when the wall tie is screwed into a stud and the washer reaches the stud it acts as a stop preventing the wall tie from further penetrating the stud. |
