4 The brickwork, mortar and lintel work together to form a composite beam with exceptional strength and load-carrying won t have to worry about corroded Lintels and cracked brickwork, thanks to the generous galvanising layer including the ends of the product where corrosion often Galintel bars comply with the following standards:> Hot-dip galvanised to AS/NZS4680:2006> Up to R3 durability ratings in accordance with :2001> Loads in accordance with :2002 Compliance with codes and standards is guaranteed Galintels have CSIRO approval, backed by research conducted by the University of NSW and Sydney & corrosion resistance (R3 rating)All Galintel products are hot-dip galvanised with a heavy zinc coating of 600 g/m2 which complies with an R3 durability rating.

5 Durability is a function of the thickness of the zinc coating (black Steel is classified as RO and stainless Steel as R5). Galintels can achieve an R4 durability rating when coated with a two-part epoxy coating (contact Galintel for specification sheet).Multi-Rib T-BarRendabarCavi-T-BarTraditional Angle Don t settle for substitutes.

7 Add end bearing of 100-150mm to both ends of span . ABDCEHow to use the quick selection guide1. Determine the Loading Category by referring to the diagrams below. 2. Determine the span of the opening, including end bearings, and use the Clear span Length table to find the appropriate Galintel profile. 3. Determine the load to be applied to the Galintel and refer to the Safe Load tables on page 5 to find the correct profile size and stock :Loading Category B (cavity wall construction), 1800mm span with UDL of 1400 kg/m. From the safe load tables on page 5, this requires a Galintel Solid Base Angle with 150mm x 100mm profile and stock length of diagrams represent general domestic and light commercial construction only, using conventional framing materials and standard building load-bearing walls must have at least three courses of bricks over the opening.

8 The wall above the opening should not be subjected to major loads other than those from normal roof, ceiling and floors. Avoid point loads above the opening, such as hot water tanks and roof storage E loadings that do not comply with the above conditions should be referred to a structural engineer.
