Anti-Sag Rod Fixings

‘Easy Fix’ anti-sag rods form an integral part of the roofing system and fulfil important functions in stabilising
the purlins during erection and fixing of the roof cladding and subsequently under loading, particularly wind
suction.

For roof slopes of 10° or more: – Sag rods should be fixed continuously over the apex
and fixed from the bottom hole to top hole down the slope. Easy-fix anti-sag rods
Below 10° pitch fixing is reversed: – Where the slope is below 10° then the sag rods
are fixed as shown below.
We also recommend that the lowest purlin is connected to the eaves structural member.

 Zed Side Rail Sleeve Systems Grade S450

Metric load tables for sleeved side rails for

spans up to 10 metres.

Types of Cladding
The loads shown relate directly to metal cladding and allowance for
its weight has been made. Figures shown are for horizontal wind
pressure and assume 1 row of side rail supports at mid span up to
6 metres and 2 rows for larger spans.
For suction multiply values by a factor of 0.8.

 Zed Side Rail Butt System Grade S450

Side Rail Butt System suitable for buildings

with single bays or more.

Types of Cladding
The loads shown relate directly to metal cladding and
allowance for its weight has been made. Figures shown
are for horizontal wind pressure and assume 1 row of
side rail supports at mid span up to 6 metres and 2 rows
for larger spans.
For suction multiply values by a factor of 0.8.

 Mezzanine Floor Systems

Mezzanine Floor Beams

Steel Sections Cee Sections have a wide range of applications, primarily for use within mezzanine floors, our Cee sections
can also be used for door framing, roof trimming, window trimming parapet rails and side rails. Our mezzanine floor beams
are available in the following depths of 140, 177, 200, 235 and 265mm. Our sections are all punched with 18mm diameter
holes as standard, with smaller hole sizes available on request along with the option of counterformed holes.

Restraint Requirements

As the bottom flange of the cee sections

are usually unrestrained we recommend
using a threaded bar to prevent the floor
beam from twisting. Tie bars are fitted at
mid span location to the lower gauge holes,
with the channels facing toe to toe.

Beam Centres

Single Span System Double Span System

Single span cee sections are more com- Is used when floor depth isn’t an issue,
monly used due to the floor depth restric- the benefits with this system is using a
tions. The cee sections are fitted within the continuous spanning cee section will mean
depth of the primary steelwork keeping the reduced deflections and in turn will lead to
floor depth to a minimum. Our inset cleats using a reduced section size. Standard cleats
are best used for this case, please ensure can be used with this system.
the cleat projects beyond the flange of the
primary steelwork to allow an adequate
fixing to our cee section.
