Troubleshooting

Incorrect Cavity Width

Ensure that the cavity width is within the 90mm to 105mm range before installation. If the width is incorrect, adjust accordingly or choose a suitable lintel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before installation, ensure the cavity width is within the 90mm-105mm range. Check that the inner and outer leaf dimensions align with the lintel's specifications.
  2. Installation: Provide a minimum of 150mm end bearing on each side for optimal stability. Raise both the inner and outer leaves simultaneously for simplified installation. Lay one course of blockwork before flooring or roof elements are installed.
  3. Compatibility: This lintel is compatible with standard cavity wall construction methods and materials. Ensure the mortar used is suitable for steel lintels.
  4. Care: Protect the lintel from damage during installation. Regular maintenance is not typically required due to the galvanised steel construction. Avoid any activities that might compromise the protective coating.
