This document provides specifications for bronze gravestone support brackets. It describes the general features of the compact bracket model, including available sizes, materials, and adjustable lug lengths. Technical specifications are given for common bracket sizes, which vary in body height, total height, and central pin diameter. Directions are provided for mounting the brackets using expansion bolts and nuts to secure gravestones vertically between the bottom load-bearing and top blocking brackets.

including the lugs.
Depending on bracket size, the
diameter (M) of the central fixing
threaded pin (to be screwed in
the back) can vary from 6 mm to
10 mm.

L1 = 2,5 cm
L2= 5 cm
P = 3 cm
S = 0,8 ÷ 2 cm
M = 8 o 10 mm

6. How to mount the brackets
For mounting the brackets it is used a
threaded steel pin which, on one
hand, is screwed into the back of the
bracket (see figure), and, on the
other, is attached to the wall by
means of an expansion bolt.
Once fastened the brackets, loosen
the lugs using the nuts and place the
tombstones on the top edge of the
body of each bracket; lower brackets
are load-bearing while the upper ones
are blocking the headstone through
the lugs.

The vertical distance between
a flat grave and the other is

the central body of the
bracket (H1).
