FAQs

What type of wall construction is this clamp designed for?

The RHINOBUILD Top Clamp is specifically designed for traditional cavity wall construction.

Can I use this clamp with different sizes of blockwork?

Yes, the clamp is adjustable and compatible with 100mm and 140mm blockwork.

What sizes of brick profiles can be attached?

The clamp is compatible with brick profiles measuring 40mm, 50mm, and 50.8mm.

How do I ensure a secure fit?

The 80mm bar thread with the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew allows for a tight and secure connection to both the blockwork and the profile.

What are the main dimensions of the clamp?

The main pole measures 800mm, and the profile arm measures 400mm.

Is this clamp suitable for exterior use?

The clamp is manufactured from zinc-plated steel, providing superior corrosion resistance for use on construction sites, but should still be cared for and stored properly to maximize its lifespan.

Does this product require assembly?

The clamp is ready to use upon purchase; assembly is not required. Setup involves positioning and adjusting the clamp on the wall.

Troubleshooting

Clamp does not grip the blockwork securely.

Ensure the blockwork is within the compatible 100mm or 140mm range. Check that the RHINOGRIP thumbscrew is fully tightened. Inspect the threads on the bar for debris and clean if necessary.

Profile arm connection is loose.

Verify that the brick profile is compatible (40mm, 50mm, or 50.8mm) and is correctly attached to the profile arm. Ensure any locking mechanisms on the profile itself are engaged.

Corrosion visible on the clamp.

The clamp is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance. For minor surface rust, gently clean with a wire brush and apply a light coat of oil. If significant corrosion is present, consider replacement to maintain structural integrity.

Main pole adjustment is stiff.

Clean the pole mechanism of any dirt or grit. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the sliding parts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Position the clamp against the inner leaf of the cavity wall.
