1. An adjustable wall tie for securing spaced wythes together, each formed of courses of preformed block or brick having cementing means for joining the courses together and defining a space therebetween, comprising a rectangular tension anchor having a base member and a pair of substantially parallel longitudinal side members extending from said base member perpendicular thereto, a transverse end member parallel to the base member joining the distal ends of the side members together, and an intermediate transverse member attached to the side members in proximity to said end member forming an elongated transverse slot therebetween, said tension anchor being adapted to be positioned whereby the base member can be cemented in one of said wythes with the opposite end member with transverse slot disposed in the space between the wythes; and a generally J-shaped single-ended hook having laterally spaced longitudinal side sections forming a planar base and the opposite ends of the longitudinal side sections bent at substantially 90.degree. to the planar base and having short perpendicular side sections reverse bent substantially 90.degree. parallel to the planar base and spaced therefrom, and a transverse section joining the reverse bent side sections together to form a restraining hook, the planar lower extension being adapted and positioned whereby the planar base may be positioned in and cemented in the said wythe with the short perpendicular side section disposed and terminating in the space between the wythes and extending through the slot of the tension anchor for tying said wythes together.
