Description
INTERMEDIATE / ADAPTER HEAD
An intermediate head (also referred to as an auxiliary or adapter head) is a practical piece of formwork equipment used to support H20 timber beams in locations where a full cross-head is not required.
It consists of a steel support plate, reinforced arms, and a pin that fits into a slab prop.
Its unique design allows the component to slide freely along the entire length of the beam, facilitating the optimal positioning of props on the construction site.
Key advantages
- Additional reinforcement: the structure has been strengthened to ensure full stability of the girder and safe load-bearing capacity.
- Flexible positioning: the design of the head allows it to be moved along the entire length of an H20 beam, with no restrictions regarding contact points.
- Excellent system complement: it serves as a perfect support for traditional crossheads and pronged heads, reducing costs and streamlining the assembly of formwork.
- Long-lasting durability: made from robust, corrosion-resistant steel, it ensures a long service life even in demanding construction site conditions.
How to install the head
- Insert the pin of the auxiliary head into the top opening of the slab prop.
- Position a prop under the H20 girder at the point requiring additional support.
- Bring the arms of the head into contact with the flanges of the girder, ensuring it is seated securely on the plate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between an intermediate head and a cross head?
A cross head is primarily used to connect and stabilize two beams at the points where they meet or cross. An intermediate head features a lower, longer frame and is designed to provide simple support for a single beam along its length.
2. Is the adapter head compatible with all construction props?
The 12.5 cm high pin, which has a standard diameter, is compatible with most slab props available on the market (light, medium, and heavy-duty types).
3. Which beams is this head compatible with?
The head is perfectly designed to fit the dimensions of the flanges of standard H20 timber formwork beams.
