The SB/K Lintel is made from high-quality grade, zinc-coated, pre-galvanized mild steel. It serves as a single skin lintel used to support the outer leaf of single leaf walls (not cavity walls). These corrosion-resistant structural supports are available in a range of sizes.
Dimensions
Cavity Width: Not applicable; designed for single leaf walls.
Inner Leaf Thickness: 100mm (for the single leaf).
Outer Leaf Thickness: 102mm (for the single leaf).
Load Capacities
These lintels come in various lengths, each with its load-bearing capacity:
600mm:
Total UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) at a 3:1 safety factor: 2.0kN.
Total UDL at a 19:1 safety factor: 2.5kN.
1350mm:
Total UDL at a 3:1 safety factor: 2.5kN.
Total UDL at a 19:1 safety factor: 4kN.
1650mm:
Total UDL at a 3:1 safety factor: 2.9kN.
Total UDL at a 19:1 safety factor: 7kN.
And so on for other lengths.
Installation Tips
Always refer to the lintel installation guide for proper installation advice.
Ensure that the lintel is correctly positioned to support the outer leaf of the single leaf wall.
No insulation is incorporated within the Keystone SB/K Lintel.
