A high-strength low profile partially compressed pintle veneer tie and anchoring system employing the same is disclosed. The high-strength pintle anchoring system employs a partially compressively reduced veneer tie that is cold-worked with the resultant body partially having substantially semicircular edges and flat surfaces therebetween. The edges are aligned to receive compressive forces transmitted from the outer wythe. The partially compressively reduced veneer tie, when part of the anchoring system, interengages with the receptor portions of a wall anchor and is dimensioned to preclude significant veneer tie movement. The insertion portion of the veneer tie is compressed and patterned to ensure a secure hold within the bed joint.

1. A high-strength wire-formative veneer tie for use with an anchoring system in a wall having an inner wythe and an outer wythe in a spaced apart relationship the one with the other and having a cavity therebetween, said outer wythe formed from a plurality of courses with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, said bed joint being filled with mortar, said wire formative veneer tie comprising: an insertion portion for disposition in said bed joint of said outer wythe, said insertion portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface being compressibly deformed and having a pattern of recessed areas impressed thereon for receiving mortar therewithin;two cavity portions contiguous with said insertion portion;two interengaging portions contiguous with said cavity portions and set opposite said insertion portion, said two interengaging portions each being compressively reduced and depend therefrom at a substantially 90 degree angle; and,two securement portions contiguous with said interengaging portions opposite said cavity portion, said two securement portions each curved at a substantially 150 degree angle. 2. A high-strength veneer tie as described in claim 1, wherein said two interengaging portions are compressively reduced in thickness by up to 75% of the original wire formative diameter thereof. 3. A high-strength veneer tie as described in claim 2, wherein said two interengaging portions are fabricated from 0.177- to 0.312-inch diameter wire and when reduced by one-third have a tension and compression rating at least 130% of the rating for a non-reduced wire. 4. A high-strength veneer tie as described in claim 3, wherein said veneer tie insertion portion further comprises: a compression dimensioned to interlock with a reinforcement wire; anda reinforcement wire disposed in said compression;whereby upon insertion of said reinforcement wire in said compression a seismic construct is formed. 5. A high-strength veneer tie as described in claim 1, wherein said insertion portion is fabricated from 0.177- to 0.312-inch diameter wire and wherein said wire formative is compressively reduced to a height of 0.162 to 0.187 inches. 6. A high-strength veneer tie as described in claim 1, wherein said wire formative is selected from the group consisting of mill galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, stainless steel, spring steel, and, high- and low-carbon steel. 7. A high-strength wire-formative veneer tie as described in claim 1, wherein each of said interengaging portions has a thickness and a width greater than the thickness. 8. A high-strength anchoring system for use in a wall having an inner wythe and an outer wythe in a spaced apart relationship the one with the other and having a cavity therebetween, said outer wythe formed from a plurality of courses with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses, said bed joint being filled with mortar, said system comprising: a wall anchor configured to be fixedly attached to said inner wythe and having a free end thereof configured for extending into said cavity, said free end of said wall anchor comprising: one or more receptor portions configured to be disposed in said cavity, said one or more receptor portions being openings disposed substantially horizontal; and,a wire formative veneer tie for insertion within said wall anchor, said veneer tie further comprising: an insertion portion for disposition in said bed joint of said outer wythe, said insertion portion having an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface being compressibly deformed and having a pattern of recessed areas impressed thereon for receiving mortar therewithin, said insertion portion configured to maximize surface contact with said mortar;two cavity portions contiguous with said insertion portion;two interengaging portions contiguous with said cavity portions and set opposite said insertion portion, said two interengaging portions each being compressively reduced and curved at a substantially 90 degree angle; and,two securement portions contiguous with said interengaging portions opposite said cavity portion, said two securement portions each curved at a substantially 150 degree angle. 9. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 8, wherein said two interengaging portions are compressively reduced in thickness up to 75% of the original diameter thereof. 10. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 9, wherein said two interengaging portions are fabricated from a 0.177- to 0.312-inch diameter wire and when reduced by one-third have a tension and compression rating at least 130% of the rating for a non-reduced wire. 11. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 10, wherein said inner wythe is a dry wall structure having wallboard panels mounted on columns or framing members, said wall anchor further comprising: a surface-mounted sheetmetal bracket fixedly attached to said columns of said inner wythe, said sheetmetal bracket being L-shaped and having a mounting portion and an extending portion for extending substantially horizontally into said cavity, said extending portion with said one or more receptor portions therethrough. 12. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 11, wherein said one or more receptors further comprise an elongated aperture shaped substantially similar to the cross section of said two interengaging portions. 13. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 12, wherein said width of said two interengaging portions are in a close fitting functional relationship with the opening of said aperture. 14. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 13, wherein when the veneer tie is installed in the wall a width of each of said two interengaging portions is substantially normal to said wallboard panels. 15. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 14, wherein said veneer tie insertion portion further comprises: a compression dimensioned to interlock with a reinforcement wire; anda reinforcement wire disposed in said compression;whereby upon insertion of said reinforcement wire in said compression a seismic construct is formed. 16. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 9, wherein said inner wythe is formed from successive courses of masonry block with a bed joint of predetermined height between each two adjacent courses and having a reinforcement ladder or truss in said bed joint, said wall anchor further comprising: a wire formative fixedly attached to said reinforcement having at least two legs extending into and terminating within said cavity. 17. A high-strength anchoring system as described in claim 16, wherein said one or more receptor portions further comprise two eyelets spaced apart at a predetermined intervals and welded closed to form substantially circular openings therethrough with a predetermined diameter; and, said two interengaging portions are in a close fitting functional relationship with said diameter of said eyelet. 18.
