When is the L-Shape Party Wall DPC used?

The PW200L is designed for a specific party wall junction rather than simply being a larger version of the standard straight cavity barrier.

Staggered Party Wall The L-shaped ARC Party Wall DPC is suitable where one dwelling is set back from the adjoining dwelling, creating a staggered party wall junction.
L-Shape Follows the Cavity The L-shaped profile follows the external cavity at the junction, with an integral DPC incorporated on the internal corner against the external brickwork.

If your application is a conventional straight party wall junction, check the appropriate straight ARC Party Wall DPC product instead.

ARC PW200L Installation

ARC Party Wall DPC is designed to be installed as the brick and blockwork progresses. The product requires a friction fit within the cavity and does not require mechanical fixing within the manufacturer's stated application.

1. Check the cavity width Confirm that the built cavity is appropriate for the PW200L and does not exceed the maximum 200mm cavity width.
2. Identify the staggered junction Confirm that the party wall arrangement is suitable for the L-shaped profile, where one dwelling is set back from the adjoining dwelling.
3. Position the barrier Install the L-shaped barrier so that it follows the external cavity at the party wall junction.
4. Maintain a continuous barrier Ensure adjoining lengths are tightly butted and that there are no gaps around the cavity fire barrier.
5. Protect the insulation Take care when cutting and handling the barrier so that the rockfibre insulation is not damaged.

The manufacturer's installation guidance states that accuracy of the brickwork is essential to ensure that no gaps exist around the barrier. Installation should always follow the latest manufacturer's instructions and the relevant certified application.
