This Type J cavity support has been designed to support the DPC where it spans the cavity and has a standard length of 2400mm, 150mm width and 30mm height. It is suitable for cavities up to 100mm.

Question:

Does this stop any water getting into the cavity

Answer:

Yes it closes the cavity off once bedded in

Question:

Can you use this product under aluminium capping for closing off parapet ?

Answer:

The function of the Type J is to support the DPC that is fitted beneath a coping and to prevent it from sagging into the cavity. If you are fitting an aluminium capping onto the parapet wall, it is likely no DPC will be required (so nothing to be supported). If you simply wishes to close/cap the cavity at the top of the wall before fitting the aluminium capping then the Type J could be used to achieve this, but may not be fully necessary.
