Specification
- Reference AAMA 904, AAMA 910, BS 6375-2 and EN 1670
Note: As with all types of friction hinges, friction cannot be provided until the slider moves, therefore when limiting the opening of top hung vents to angles of 10º or less, a separate device will be required to prevent the window from closing.
Note: It is strongly recommended that large awning/projected top hung vents are restricted to opening angles of less than 45º. Between 30º to 45º the window will become self-closing. A separate restrictor device will be required e.g. SR8 and SR16.
