Catnic CCS 100mm Single Leaf C-Section Lintel

Catnic CCS key features

Dimensions and specification

Catnic CCS sizes and safe working loads

Catnic specifies two loading categories within the CCS range. The safe working load depends on the length of the lintel.

Where to use a Catnic CCS lintel

The CCS is designed for 100–102mm single-leaf masonry construction, where a C-section lintel is specified to support suitable masonry or timber floor loads above an opening.

The Catnic CCS lintel is suitable for both internal and external single-leaf masonry applications, although it is predominantly used externally. Installation must meet Catnic's specified wall construction, loading and support requirements.

Unlike a combined cavity-wall lintel, the CCS supports a single leaf of masonry. Wall construction, load requirements and the chosen length must all be checked against the manufacturer's specifications before installation.

Choosing the correct CCS lintel length

Catnic specifies nominal 150mm end bearings. The lintel length is therefore normally calculated by adding 300mm to the structural opening width, allowing 150mm bearing at each end.

For example, a 1200mm structural opening would normally require a 1500mm lintel. The selected length must also have a sufficient safe working load for the intended construction.

Installation and support requirements

Catnic CCS lintels must be suitably propped and laterally restrained during construction. To achieve the published loading figures, the lintel must be fully built into the brickwork or blockwork as specified by Catnic.
