Lintel Description

Available to suit 90mm - 160mm cavity widths

This XA Type Lintel is commonly referred for extra heavy-duty loading conditions (see the loading tables for details). To achieve loading figures, lintel must be built in with blockwork as shown.

Steel lintels should be installed with a minimum end bearing of 150mm, bedded on mortar and levelled along its length and across its width. The lintel should be suitably propped to facilitate speed of construction (see loading table for details). All lintels should be installed with a damp-proof course (DPC). See installation instructions in downloads for further information.

Standard lengths are manufactured in 150mm increments up to 3000mm and 250mm increments from 3000mm up to and including 6500mm.

Specify XA for brickwork on outer leaf and XA/K for blockwork outer leaf.

* Continuous U-Plate. Manufactured from a 152 x 89 x 16kg/m UB

All cavity lintels can be stepped if required (Standard step ~10mm).
