IG Masonry Support’s Cast-in Channels (CIC) comprise of 3050mm rolled anchor channels with swaged studs, M12 T-head bolts and lock nuts.
Supplied in 3050mm lengths, the channels are used for fixing masonry support systems to concrete structures and support line loads up to 27kN/m (unfactored). This will cover most masonry support applications.
T-head bolts and lock nuts allow secure and easy installation of the masonry support system to the anchor channel and provides lateral adjustment.

Certifications and Accreditations
Product Design and Testing
The anchor channel has been independently tested by third party organisations and technical approval bodies to evaluate and validate the physical performance and long term durability of all components as well as ensure the products are fit for purpose and conform to regulations.
ETA Certified
The anchor channels have been tested in IFBT Leipzig in accordance to the EOTA guidelines and have been awarded an ETA certificate from DIBT (German Institute of Building Technology).
The ETA approval includes thorough specifications on internal and third party quality control of on-going production. Therefore quality assurance is in place to be certain that the quality of the channels correspond with the samples tested during the approval procedure.
Eurocodes
Cast-in Channels are Eurocode compatible and are designed and dimensioned according to CEN/TS 1992-4 standard in combination with the approved loadings in the ETA approval.
ISO 9001:2015
Quality production with strict control according to European requirements. Management and service quality is certified by ISO 9001:2015.
Product Range
Cast-in Channels are available in a range of sizes that will support line loads up to 27kN/m (unfactored). This will cover most masonry support applications. Supplied in 3050mm lengths the channels are made from stainless steel (A2) 1.4301.
