Restraints for Bays up to 6.1m
The single strut system is utilised on buildings with bays up to 6.1m centres with adjustable diagonal tie wire as shown in the diagram.

Bays up to 3.0m generally do not require vertical support struts.

This system is for use with cladding which, when fixed restrains the Multibeam siderail outer flange.

* When wall exceeds 10m in height allow one set of diagonal ties for every 9.0m of height.

Maximum rail cross centres are 2m.

Where the weight of the cladding is greater than 0.12 kN/m2 please contact our Technical Department.

Where the insulated panel is only through fixed on one edge trapping an under tongue on the adjacent panel the restraint system on this page should be used. These systems have the bottom tube strut replaced with an angle strut and the diagonal tie wire replaced with a rod diagonal.

The strut system should be fitted between the bottom rails and the rails levelled before proceeding progressively upwards.

Where the cladding is clip fixed or fixed in such a way that the cladding can slip, relative to the side rail face please contact our Technical Department.
