High strength precast &

prestressed concrete lintels

Policy
Cast-Crete lintels and sills have been incorporated into structures throughout Florida and other south-

eastern states for over 45 years to the complete satisfaction of all concerned. We produced in excess

of 17 million lintels representing over 100 million lineal feet of product during that period of time.

Probably every concrete products producer in America claims to sell quality products at competitive

prices, and to back up all orders with superior service.

Cast-Crete also has these policies. But we say it this way:

1. QUALITY: Cast-Crete guarantees that every lintel and sill it sells meets or exceeds all known

federal, state, and local strength and quality specifications. Should tests prove any failure to meet such

specifications, Cast-Crete, at its own expense, will replace IN THE WALL all units supplied to the job.

2. SERVICE: Cast-Crete guarantees delivery as promised on every lintel and sill order on the agreed

delivery date. If we fail to perform on any guaranteed delivery, Cast-Crete will pay the customer for

any resulting unproductive labor charges. Money talks. We dont claim to be perfect. But if you lose

through our failure, you can look to us to pay the bill.

3. GUARANTEE: Cast-Cretes lintels and sills are guaranteed against any and all defects in work-

manship and/or materials for the lifetime of the structure into which they are properly installed.

product description
specifications
High strength precast and prestressed concrete lintels designed to be used unfilled or filled with grout to form a composite reinforced beam using concrete
masonry units.

Materials
fc 8" precast lintels = 3500 psi Concrete masonry units (CMU) per ASTM C90 with
f'c 8" prestressed, 6" and 12" precast lintels = 6000 psi minimum net area compressive strength = 1900 psi
f'c 4" precast lintels = 3000 psi Rebar per ASTM A615 Grade 60
Grout per ASTM C476 f'g = 3000 psi w/maximum 3/8 inch aggregate Prestressing strand per ASTM A416 Grade 270 low relaxation
and 8 to 11 inch slump. 7/32 inch wire per ASTM A510
Mortar per ASTM C270 Type M or S
General Notes
1. Provide full mortar head and bed joints. 9. Safe load ratings based on rational design analysis per ACI 318 and
2. Shore filled lintels as required. ACI 530
3. Installation of lintel must comply with architectural 10. Product Approvals: Miami-Dade County, Florida Nos. 03-0605.05
and/or structural drawings. and 03-0605.04. Florida Certificate of Product Approval No. FL158.
4. U-Lintels are manufactured with 5-1/2 inch long notches at 11. The exterior surface of lintels installed in exterior concrete masonry
ends to accommodate vertical cell reinforcing and grouting. walls shall have a coating of stucco applied in accordance with ASTM
C-926 or other approved coating.
5. All lintels meet or exceed L/360 vertical deflection, except
lintels 17'-4" and longer with a nominal height of 8" meet 12. Lintels loaded simultaneously with vertical (gravity or uplift) and
or exceed L/180. horizontal (lateral) loads should be checked for the combined loading
with the following equation:
6. Bottom field added rebar to be located at the bottom of lintel cavity. Applied vertical load + Applied horizontal load < 1.0
7. 7/32 inch diameter wire stirrups are welded to the bottom steel for Safe vertical load Safe horizontal load
mechanical anchorage.
8. Cast-in-place concrete may be provided in composite lintel in lieu of
concrete masonry units.

Safe load table notes

less than 6-1/2 inches. 9. For lintel lengths not shown, use safe load from the next longest
2. N.R. = Not Rated. length shown.
3. Safe loads are superimposed allowable load. 10. All safe loads in units of pounds per linear foot.
4. Safe loads based on Grade 40 or Grade 60 field rebar. 11. All safe loads based on simply supported span.
5. Additional lateral load capacity can be obtained by the designer by 12. The number in the parenthesis indicates the percent reduction for
providing additional reinforced masonry above the precast lintel. See grade 40 field added rebar.
Reinforced CMU on Page 4. Example: 7'6" lintel Type 8F32-1B safe gravity load =6472 (15)
6. One #7 rebar may be substituted for two #5 rebars in 8" lintels only. w/15% reduction => 6472 (.85) = 5501 plf
7. The designer may evaluate concentrated loads from the safe load
tables by calculating the maximum resisting moment and shear at
d-away from the face of support.

INSTALLATION OF COMPOSITE U LINTELS

Set precast lintel in full joints of mortar and shore as required. Place bottom field rebar on the floor of the lintel cavity, if required. Set additional courses of
concrete masonry units to obtain composite height. Place top field rebar. Fill composite lintel with grout.
