Plumb-Rite is a T-shaped PVC product that assists in keeping vertical joints in precise alignment where control joints and expansion joints are used in a masonry wall.
Plumb-Rite is rigid enough to keep a 3/8″ vertical joint consistently straight. It is flexible enough — with a special slotted stem — to allow for expansion of the brick.
May be attached to wood, steel, and block back-ups with either nails, screws or mastic.
When insulation is used in the cavity, foam board adhesive is simply applied to the back of the Plumb-Rite and adhered to the insulation.

Fast and simple installation.
Ensures that vertical joint is uniform where control joints and expansion joints are used in masonry.
Uniformity enhances appearance of wall.
Saves time and money.
Once Plumb-Rite is installed, it isn’t necessary to plumb joint again.
Increases job productivity.
Replaces use of metal, boards, lines, or other materials.
Avoids pulling metal or wood guides up the wall and risking quality workmanship.
It isn’t necessary to clean out the joint. The trowel is run up the vertical slot to insure movement for brick expansion.
Not necessary to use experienced mason in control joint areas.
