36/8 Mechanically Fixed Soffit System

---

ACS Soffit Hangers are a bespoke product utilising 36/8 Channel & Ties combined with ACS restraint dowels. The system has been designed to allow a 500mm spacing between brackets and a 250mm end cantilever as standard. Special configurations can be designed to almost any application.

USAGE & COMPLIANCE

The 38-6 Soffit System is fully compliant with current building regulations. ACS is offering this system as an alternative to brick slip solutions which are chemically fixed and fall within the ban as explained here

Installation & Best Practice

The first brick is to be drilled at either end and the first tie clipped into the channel with a one way welded dowel. The first brick will then have both ends filled with either resin or a none shrinkable grout. The brick will then be pushed on the welded dowel tie and another tie will be slid into position and a 6x60mm loose dowel pushed through the hole to fully support the brick. This process is then repeated along the full length of the soffit opening until the last brick is to be installed. The final tie with a one way welded dowel will then be slid into position which completes the hanging process. Please ensure that all soffit bricks are temporarily propped until the whole system is cured.
