The Duggan Profiles range of Eaves Beams comprises 2 section depths in 2mm material and a choice of two distinct material finishes. Users may choose between conventional hot-dip (galvanised) material while an alternative white prepainted steel is available for applications where improved aesthetics or additional anti corrosion protection is desired.
Refer to Material Specification (Galvanised) and Material Specification (Prepainted) for more detailed information.
Eaves Beams from the Duggan Profiles range are roll formed in lengths up to 20m and in angular increments of 1 degree up to 30 degrees.
Eaves Beams may not be produced with angles less than 90 degrees.

Eaves Beams are available in a range of 2 section depths: 180 or 210mm.
Both depths are available in 2mm steel. The table above lists the available sizes.
Eaves Beams are specified by product code. The codes are defined as per the following examples:

Example 1: DP-EBG180/200/10
DP: Duggan Profiles, used as a prefix for all our sections
EBG: Eaves Beam Galvanised, this defines the profile and distinguishes it from purlins, rails or Cee sections. It also indicates the finish required.
180: The first 3 digits denote the section depth in mm
200: The second block of digits denotes the thickness (2mm).
10: The final block of digits denotes the angle of the Eaves Beam, 10 is 10 degrees, 06 is 6 degrees etc.

Example 2: DP-PEB210/200/20
DP: Duggan Profiles, used as a prefix for all our sections
PEB: Painted Eaves Beam, this defines the profile and distinguishes it from purlins, rails or Cee sections. It also indicates the finish required.
210: The first 3 digits denote the section depth in mm
200: The second block of digits denotes the thickness (2mm).
20: The final block of digits denotes the angle of the Eaves Beam, 20 is 10 degrees.

Typical profile dimensions are indicated, however it should be borne in mind that tolerances associated with the roll forming process means deviation from these nominal indicators is inevitable. The angle may be formed from zero up to 30 degrees in increments of 1 degree.

Standard gauge lines for cleat and anti-sag holes are 90mm from the top and 60mm on the bottom flange however 14 or 18mm holes may be punched at any position on the section if requested. The standard hole size for cleat connections to the structure is 18mm to suit M16 bolts (Refer to the section on Eaves Beam Cleats for additional information). Holes for the anti sag strut connection are 14mm to accommodate M12 bolts. This is illustrated in the diagram below. 

Duggan Profiles can roll form its cold rolled products in lengths up to 20m. Customers should bear in mind the logistics of transportation and site handling before ordering sections of excessive length. If possible cold rolled sections should not exceed 14m for maximum ease of transportation.

Eaves Beams connect to the supporting steelwork by means of 4 x M16 bolts and a fabricator supplied connection cleat. Duggan Profiles does not provide Eaves Beam Cleats. The standard connection details is shown below.
