ACS AHR Adjustable Head Restraint
Verified by manufacturer 11 days ago
Adjustable head restraint (AHR).
Application
Designed to provide lateral restraint at the top of an internal block wall or the inner leaf of a cavity wall.
Description
The ACS Adjustable Hear Restraint (AHR) is designed to provide lateral restraint at the top of an internal block wall or the inner leaf of a cavity wall. The ‘outer’ section of the AHR is manufactured from a rectangular hollow tube to create and maintain a void in the vertical mortar joint. This allows free movement of the ‘inner section’. A movement joint of 50 mm (maximum) between the soffit / bottom of steel and the top of the inner section will be sufficient to allow the normal movement expected in service as a result of live loading, thermal expansion and contraction and any shrinkage that may occur following construction.
