HOW TO EXECUTE A CORRECT OVERLAP?


OVERLAP_FISUFOR_MASONRY REINFORCEMENT_STEEL FOR BRICKS

1. Cut one of the longitudinal wires.
2. The length of overlap for masonry reinforcement should be at least 250 mm and the separation between longitudinal wires ≥ 20 mm

In accordance with the specifications of the current standards, a correct overlap between truss type masonry reinforcement should meet the following requirements: Length of overlap: 250 mm (0,6 the distance of the pitch of the cross-wires). Horizontal distance between overlapped wires: 20 mm.
Lateral coating of the wires that have been cut: 30 mm (except stainless steel wires).

The “plug structure” of the geofor® reinforcement ensures all these requirements without any need for manipulation by the operator.

IMPORTANT: At the ends of the reinforcement for structural use it must meet the tree requirements: ADHESION, MORTAR COATING and OVERLAP.
