Aluminium Wall Plate
The 290 wall plate is an aluminium support structure designed for installing structural glazing bar systems, such as the P227, P280 & P288.
It is typically installed at the ridge (top) of a roof slope, usually onto a wall or other suitable structure. Its straightforward design allows for positioning glazing bars at a pitch between 5° and 25°.
To secure the 290 wall plate to the wall, drill through the two locating grooves on the plate’s leg. The choice of fixings depends on the type of substrate. Install the fixings in a zigzag pattern: place a fixing in the top groove, then move 300mm along and fix in the lower groove. Repeat this pattern to form a ‘W’ shape with the screws. Ensure the first fixing is no more than 125mm from the edge of the wall plate.
When correctly installed, the 290 wall plate appears like a small letter ‘b’ when viewed from the side.
The base bar of the chosen glazing bar system is then attached to the 290 wall plate, and the glazing sheet is installed following the specific fixing instructions provided for each system.
End plates (Ref. 290EP) are available separately and can be attached to the ends of the 290 wall plate using the screws provided. The top of the finished glazing should be weatherproofed with lead or butyl flashing.
An eaves beam (Ref. 291) is also available for installation at the lower end of the roof.
