Notes for installation

Technical Details

To prevent undesirable sagging, the supporting brackets must be adequately supported until the brick mortar has set hard.
In the case of intermediate supports, the supporting bracket is laid on the facework with suitable spacers (e.g. wooden or plastic wedges). Since intermediate supports must normally be produced in the form of horizontal expansion joints, it is essential to remove the spacers when the brick mortar has set hard. (Refer to the section on arrangement of the expansion joints for further information).

Wire binders or screw hooks are used to suspend a soldier course.
When using wire binders, the supporting bracket is mounted on the upper edge of the soldier course, aligned and a head set on the lower edge of the soldier course. The soldier course is then laid between supporting bracket and head with integration of the wire binders.
When using screw hooks, the soldier course can be laid on the head before fitting the supporting bracket. Particular attention must be paid to ensuring that the screw hooks are installed in a straight line (must be aligned with a string).
In masonry work produced according to standards and professional rules, the wire binder or screw hook ensures that the soldier course is adequately secured and cannot work loose. Depending on the brick and mortar quality used (e.g. in the case of brick mortar with poor adhesion), the soldier course can also be pinned additionally on site. Suitable stainless steel wires e.g. ≥ 4 mm can be supplied additionally on request.

Recesses are produced in the load-bearing masonry as specified in the delivery documents.
These recesses are filled with concrete or mortar (MG III with expanding mortar additive) and the supporting anchors pressed in. They are then re-compacted and flush-finished.
The supporting anchors and supporting brackets must be adequately supported.
