Introduction<\/h2>\n

The Vista VEW2 range of windposts are of channel section where the post sits in the cavity of the wall, they are generally used for lighter load conditions than the Vista VEW1 type posts. The use of a Vista VEW2 Windpost is governed by the size of the cavity and the load to be supported i.e. it may not be possible to increase the section of the post and therefore its load capacity due to the size of the cavity. In the case of cast stone units the fixing options are increased as cast-in fixings may also be considered.<\/p>\n

Vista WPTC<\/h4>\n

The Vista WPTC one way tie is clipped to VEW2 edges to tie into both block and brick courses. When ordering, please specify projection \u2018P\u2019 from front of notch to tie end.<\/p>\n

Performance Tables<\/h3>\n

Windposts are designed as simply supported beams with a maximum design strength of 230N\/mm2 and a maximum deflection of span\/360. Design resistances should be compared with factored loads. Recommended loads include a variance factor of 1.5<\/p>\n
