Abstract
A fastener assembly for anchoring masonry to a wall support stud includes a sealing member releasably seated in a retaining groove. The fastener threads into the support stud and is affixed to a hole in the masonry with a bonding agent. The retaining groove holds the sealing member in place during the installation of the fastener, and a break-off groove enables the fastener to be severed inside the masonry. After the fastener has been severed, the sealing member can be relocated inside the masonry to a pre-determined sealing position, thereby insuring the use of a controlled volume of bonding agent.
