| chimney stack removal |
| The diagram below shows a basic installation of two B2 gallows brackets with 5mm plate. The 70mm angle is additional.
This is a basic setup, chimney stacks vary greatly and should only be removed by a professional. The size, width and height of a bracket, will depend on what it is expected to support. Likewise the section of steel angle and plate will also depend on the spans between brackets, all of which need to be assessed by a competent person. The use gallows brackets as a form of structural support is mostly dependant on the construction quality of the wall to which they are to be bolted. This will be the decision of the building inspector on site. |

| angle and plate information |
| We use and stock many different types of angle.
Angle is a very strong from of steel which gets its strength from its unique L shape construction. Angle is available in equal and unequal sizes and is widely used in construction Plate is similar to sheet metal and is usually 4mm or more in thickness. Plate comes in large rectangular sizes which we cut down using a guillotine, this results in clean straight cuts. Both Angle and Plate can be welded with Mig or Arc welders and cut with a angle grinder with a suitable cutting disk. Angle and Plate can also be brazed and cut with oxyacetylene equipment. Only trained persons should use any of the equipment mentioned. The correct protective clothing should always be used. The drawring below shows two types of equal size angle cross sections. |

to masonry or concrete walls. Rawlbolts should always be fixed directly into
the masonry and not into the mortar joint. We stock a small range of RawlBolts.
