Product Information

Full details

The Cavity Trays Gable Abutment Angle is an essential component for professional masons and contractors working on complex building projects that require precise corner weatherproofing. It provides the key benefit of replacing labor-intensive traditional catchments by offering a pre-engineered, universal solution for external corner abutments; however, users should note that it requires careful alignment during the initial brickwork phase to ensure a proper seal across the entire roof pitch.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this product require lead?

No, this is a non-lead component designed for modern, efficient installation.

Can I use this on a flat roof?

No, it is specifically engineered for pitches starting at 17.5 degrees.

Is it suitable for 100mm cavity walls?

Yes, the universal adjustment mechanism covers cavity widths between 50mm and 160mm.

Can this be used on rendered blockwork?

Yes, it is fully compatible with both brickwork and rendered blockwork substrates.

Why is it better than traditional catchments?

It provides a pre-engineered, standardized fit that saves significant time and reduces the risk of human error during site fabrication.

Troubleshooting

Component does not sit flush against the masonry

Verify that the masonry surface is free of excess mortar or debris and re-check the cavity width adjustment settings.

Difficulty in aligning with the brick course

Ensure the angle is installed during the initial course planning stage; the component is designed to be built-in rather than retrofitted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces on-site labor time by replacing traditional custom catchments
  • Highly adjustable width accommodates a wide range of standard cavity sizes
  • Suitable for both commercial and residential building requirements
  • Professional finish integrates seamlessly with standard building materials

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement before installation to ensure perfect fit
  • Limited utility for pitches below 17.5 degrees
  • Installation must be coordinated strictly with the bricklaying process

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the masonry surface is clean and level before placing the component. The unit should be integrated into the mortar bed at the corner position to maintain structural continuity. During setup, adjust the universal wing mechanism to match the specific wall cavity width (50mm–160mm) and ensure it is secured flush against the inner and outer leaf masonry. Because it replaces traditional lead or custom materials, check that the mortar bond to the component is sufficient to create a watertight seal. For long-term care, the unit is low-maintenance; however, a visual inspection of the corner junction should be conducted during routine building exterior check-ups to ensure the mortar remains intact and no physical shifting has occurred.
