Multichannel Horizontal Cladding - intermediate connection

Intermediate Connection
Where cladding is joined within the bay span a wider flange is required in order to ‘butt’ the panels together. For this detail a G140/150 section is used together with screwed rod diagonal.

Horizontally laid cladding - Top Hat supports
Vertical top hat cladding supports provided by the sheeting contractor to support horizontally laid insulated panels - The restraints can be as shown on page 98 but the tube strut between the bottom pair of rails supporting the top hats must be replaced with a vertical Multichannel or Multibeam of the same depth of the rail and attached as shown on page 98 of the Kingspan Multibeam handbook. The standard tie wire must be replaced with a rod diagonal. The top hats must be positioned at or very close to the rail restraint positions to avoid twisting of the horizontal member. The top hat section must be attached to all rails that it passes over using suitable fixings that can support the vertical dead loads and the wind pressure and suction loads.
