Catnic ANG Lintel Single Leaf Steel - 900mm

This lintel is specifically designed for angled single leaf external masonry walls, supporting brickwork over openings.

A 'standard duty' rating indicates that the lintel is suitable for typical loads encountered in residential and light commercial construction, up to a maximum of 15kN, when installed correctly.

The Catnic ANG Lintel requires a minimum of 150mm end bearing on sound masonry on each side of the opening to adequately transfer loads.

No, this specific ANG Lintel is designed for angled single leaf external masonry walls and is not suitable for internal walls or cavity wall constructions.

To determine the correct lintel length, add at least 300mm to your clear opening width (150mm bearing on each side). Always round up to the next available standard lintel length to ensure adequate support.

Both finishes provide corrosion resistance. Galvanised lintels (typically up to 2400mm) have a zinc coating. Black powder-coated lintels (2550mm and longer) have an additional durable polyester powder coating, offering enhanced weather protection and a different aesthetic.

Detailed installation instructions, load tables, and technical specifications are available in the official Catnic datasheet for the ANG Lintel series. It's recommended to consult this document for precise guidance.

Immediately address any misalignment before mortar cures. Remove the lintel, re-prepare the bedding mortar, and re-install, ensuring careful leveling and plumbing with appropriate tools. Ensure adequate temporary propping during curing.

This could indicate insufficient bearing, overloading, or incorrect installation. Consult the Catnic datasheet for specific bearing requirements and maximum loads. If concerns persist, a qualified structural engineer should assess the installation to prevent further structural issues.

While the lintel has integral corrosion protection, severe damage or improper installation in highly corrosive environments can lead to issues. Assess if the protective coating has been compromised. If minor, clean and re-protect with an appropriate anti-corrosion paint. For significant corrosion, professional assessment is crucial, as structural integrity may be affected.
