IG Masonry Support's Cast-in Channels are used for fixing masonry support systems to concrete structures.

IG Masonry Support’s Cast-in Channels are designed for securely fixing masonry support systems to concrete structures.

Each Cast-in Channel (CIC) consists of a 3050mm rolled anchor channel with swaged studs, M12 T-head bolts, and lock nuts. Supplied in standard 3050mm lengths, the channels can support line loads of up to 27kN/m (unfactored), meeting the requirements of most masonry support applications.

The T-head bolts and lock nuts ensure a secure connection between the masonry support system and the anchor channel, while allowing for precise lateral adjustment.

All components are manufactured from 304 Austenitic Stainless Steel (1.4301), with 316 Stainless Steel (1.4401) available upon request.

Product Design and Testing

In-house design
IG Masonry Support has a skilled team of over 40 civil and structural engineers who are competent in specifying the correct Cast-in Channel for your project.

European Technical Approval (ETA)
The anchor channels have been tested in IFBT Leipzig in accordance to the EOTA guidelines and were awarded an ETA certificate from DIBT (German Institute of Building Technology) in 2024.

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.

This approval is valid on all states of Europe. An ETA catalogue is available which includes the dimensioning of the anchor channels in accordance with the new European standards series CEN/TS 1992-4-3 “Design of fastenings for use in concrete – Anchor Channels.”

Eurocodes
The channels are designed to Eurocode and dimensioned according to CEN/TS 1992-4 standard in combination with the approved loadings certified in the ETA approval.

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.
