Description
A lintel is a horizontal structural element that spans an opening (like a door or window) to support the weight of the wall or structure above it, transferring that load to the adjacent vertical supports.
Key features and likely specifications based on common lintel products:
- Material: Typically made from hot-rolled or formed steel, often with a corrosion-resistant paint or galvanized finish.
- Dimensions: The size given is likely a cross-sectional measurement, which in standard terms is generally 3" x 3.5" or 5" x 3.5" angle iron, with a thickness (gauge) of 1/4" or 5/16".
- 3 inch: Likely refers to one leg of the angle.
- 1/2 foot: Could mean 6 inches long (very short) or, more likely, refers to another dimension of the angle (e.g., 6 inches as the other leg, making it a 3x6 angle). Lintel lengths are generally specified in feet (e.g., 3', 4', 6', etc.) to match the width of the opening, plus bearing.
