The Catnic CG70/100 Standard Duty 70mm Cavity Lintel is designed for masonry cavity walls with a 70–85mm cavity, a 100–115mm inner leaf and a 100–102mm outer leaf. Its open-back steel profile allows masonry to be built up continuously on both leaves, while integral insulation, a plaster key and built-in DPC provide additional construction benefits. We supply ten lengths from 900mm to 3600mm, with safe working loads ranging from 15kN to 26kN depending on length.

Where to use a Catnic CG70/100 lintel

The CG70/100 is designed for openings in standard duty masonry cavity wall construction with a 70–85mm cavity. It can support typical masonry loads and specified timber floor and roof loads where the selected lintel's capacity is sufficient.

Its open-back profile allows masonry to be built continuously on both leaves and is suitable for fair-faced inner leaf masonry.

Choosing the correct CG70/100 length

Catnic's published loading figures use nominal 150mm end bearings at each end. The required lintel length is therefore normally determined by adding 300mm to the clear structural opening width.

For example, a 1200mm opening would normally require a 1500mm lintel, allowing 150mm bearing on each side. Check the applicable safe working load before ordering.

Installation considerations

Check the cavity width, masonry leaf dimensions and supporting wall construction before installation. Follow Catnic's current guidance for end bearings, temporary support where required and any additional damp-proofing measures.

For narrower cavity walls, compare our Catnic CG50/100 Standard Duty 50mm Cavity Lintel, designed for 50–65mm cavities.

For wider cavities, we also supply the Catnic CG90/100 Standard Duty Cavity Lintel, designed for 90–105mm cavities.
