Gyproc Gypframe Retaining Channel RC70 3000mm Secure Support for Ceiling Systems

Length: 3000 mm; material: galvanised steel; part of the Gypframe RC70 family; designed to work with Gyproc Plasterboard, Gyproc Sheathing Board and Gyproc DuraLine; features pre-drilled fixing positions; suitable for internal and external use and available in other widths/lengths.

The RC70 retaining channel acts as part of the wall-supporting framework within the Gypframe system, providing a solid anchor for plasterboard and related boards to create retaining walls.

Ideal for retaining walls and wall assemblies where a strong, durable channel is required to support Gyproc boards and related panels in both internal and external environments.

1) Plan your layout and measure the wall length. 2) Cut the channel to the required length if needed. 3) Position the channel with pre-drilled fixing holes aligned to the structure. 4) Fix using compatible Gyproc fixings or screws into structural members. 5) Continue with the Gyproc board installation as per the Gypframe system guidelines.

Use appropriate PPE when cutting or fixing metal components, ensure fixings are suitable for the substrate, and follow local building codes for internal/external wall assemblies. The galvanised steel construction is designed for durability and corrosion resistance in typical environments.
