Lintel Installation Guidelines

1. Positioning:

• Place the lintel above the opening, fully covered in cement.
• Make sure the walls on both sides of the opening are level.

2. Mortar Application:

• Put a layer of cement on top of the lintel.
• Continue laying blocks as usual.

3. Bracket Use:

• If there's a column on one side and a wall on the other, use a bracket that fits.
• Secure the bracket with 3-4 anchor bolts (8 mm wide, 100 mm long).

4. Lintel Support:

• Put one end of the lintel on the bracket and the other end on the wall.
• Apply cement on the lintel and keep laying blocks.

5. Jack Support:

• For spans longer than 1 meter, use a support (jack) under the lintel.
• Complete the first two rows of blocks on the first day.
• Repeat this on the second and third days.

6. Ongoing Work:

• From the fourth day, work can continue without interruptions.
• Take away the jack after the 5th day.

7. Span Considerations:

• Spans over 2.25 meters will need at least one welded joint.
• For spans over 2 meters, secure the lintel to the roof with 10 mm rods and anchor bolts every 1.5 meters.
• Make sure the anchor bolts are set into the wall when finished.
