English term

provide 1/4"x1" wide fasteners with 1/4"x2" LG

English to French Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
sur des schemas de construction lies a la renovation d'un patio. Cette phrase apparait au niveau de l'attache (dans le mur) du systeme d'etancheite. Je ne comprends pas 'LG' et le sens de 1/4"x1" et 1/4"x2" normalement une largeur s'exprime avec une seule mesure? Merci de vos propositions.

The importance of context... Right... now it makes sense! See how vital context is, without which we're all floundering around in the dark?

I feel sure you're right, it is the anchors that are ¼" (presumably dia.) and 2" long. Confusing, since the fastener seems on the face of it to be ¼" thick and 1" wide :-{

Note also that your misquoting of the s/t didn't exactly help: "provide" instead of "install", and the incorrect plural on "fasteners" — seemingly minor details like this can make all the difference.

merci pour vos suggestions je pense aussi que LG signifie long. Je viens également de m'apercevoir que la segmentation a coupé le texte après le point qui suit LG. Le texte complet serait donc "INSTALL A CONTINUOUS FASTENER BAR ¼”x1” WIDE FASTENER TO WALL WITH ¼”x2” LG. COUNTER SUNK ANCHORS AT 18”c.c.". ¼”x2” LG. se rapporterait donc aux 'anchors'...

LG pourrait être la marque d'un fabricant

Moi je comprends que ces attaches ont une largeur de tant et une longueur de tant, LG could be length
Tony M Apr 30, 2010:
It's a little hard to tell without more context, but it seems as if these might be ¼" thick (or perhaps, diameter?), with the fasteners being 1" wide, and the LGs being 2" wide.

Quite what kind of 'fasteners' these might be, and what an 'LG' is, I couldn't say!
