Catnic ANG Lintel Single Leaf Steel - ANG3000

The Catnic ANG Lintel supports spans ranging from 900mm to 3900mm, depending on the specific product variant and load requirements.

The ANG Lintel is designed for angled, single-leaf external masonry walls.

The standard duty load rating is up to 15kN, with 150mm end bearings.

Calculate the load the lintel needs to support, including the weight of the brickwork and any other imposed loads. Measure the clear span of the opening, and select a lintel with a suitable load capacity and span range. Consult with a structural engineer for complex projects.

The ANG Lintel is primarily designed for single-leaf external walls. For cavity walls, consider using a specific cavity wall lintel designed for that purpose.

The black powder-coated finish on lengths of 2550mm and above provides enhanced weather protection and additional corrosion resistance.

End bearings are the lengths of the lintel that rest on the supporting structure. They are crucial for distributing the load and preventing the lintel from failing. A minimum end bearing of 150mm is typically required, but this may vary depending on the load and specific design.

It complies with BS EN 845-2 standards, ensuring it meets specific requirements for quality and performance.

Check the load capacity of the lintel; ensure it is not overloaded. Verify the end bearing is adequate and correctly supported. Inspect the mortar bedding for any signs of failure or insufficient support. Consult a structural engineer if the issue persists.

Inspect the damaged area. If the damage is superficial, clean the area and apply a suitable anti-corrosion coating. If the corrosion is significant, consider replacing the lintel or consulting with a professional.

Double-check the opening size to ensure it is within the specified tolerances. Use shims or packing materials to level the lintel. Ensure that the supporting structure is plumb and level.

Inspect the lintel for any signs of movement or failure. Check for inadequate end bearing or overloading. Assess the mortar joints for cracking or deterioration. Consult a structural engineer.
