Traditional T-Bar

Austral Steel Traditional T-Bar is a fully machine welded structural lintel manufactured in Australia using 300MPa steel. Traditional steel sections are used in the support of brickwork over large clear openings and are not reliant on composite action.

Technical information
Control Joints

Where control joints are used as a required structural element, loading of the lintel should be reduced by one third.

Installation

Place Traditional T-Bar in position on brick piers, with minimum end bearing of 150mm. Prop before bricklaying. Props must be no further than 1.2 metres apart and must remain in place until mortar has fully cured. The same number of courses must be laid internally and externally to prevent twisting of the T-Bar.
