  • Full Technical and Sales Support available
  • Manufactured from Austenitic* stainless steel for high corrosion resistance
  • 12 Year Guarantee (details available upon request)
  • Standard, offset and egress variants available
  • Suitable for 16mm-18mm hardware cavity
  • Asymmetric stainless steel end cap and end point provide superior gust load resistance
  • Composite stainless steel and plastic slider for strength and maximum wear resistance
  • Optional cam adjustment device to aid final on site alignment of heavy top hung vents

*Austenitic 304 stainless steel for high corrosion resistance

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.
