Where to use a Catnic CX130/100 lintel

The CX130/100 is intended for extra heavy duty masonry cavity-wall construction with a 130–145mm cavity. It supports specified masonry, timber floor and roof loads, including suitable concrete floor and attic truss loading arrangements where the structural design and manufacturer guidance permit.

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

Choosing the correct CX130/100 length

Catnic's published loading figures use nominal 150mm end bearings at each end. As a general starting point, add 300mm to the clear structural opening width to allow these bearings.

For example, a 1200mm structural opening would normally require a 1500mm lintel, with 150mm bearing at each end. The selected lintel must also have sufficient safe working load for the proposed construction.

Installation and support requirements

Both masonry leaves should be raised together, and the supporting wall construction must provide suitable end bearings. Follow Catnic's guidance for temporary propping, load transfer and lateral restraint during construction.

For concrete floor applications using Catnic CH and CX open-back lintels, build the blockwork tightly against the lintel's inner vertical face. Add a mortar joint at the top of the blockwork so floor units distribute their load evenly across the inner flange.

For lower loading requirements with the same cavity dimensions, compare our Catnic CH130/100 Heavy Duty Cavity Lintel or Catnic CG130/100 Standard Duty Cavity Lintel.

For extra heavy duty construction with a wider cavity, we also supply the Catnic CX150/100 Extra Heavy Duty Cavity Lintel.
