For maximum vent height and widths not stated, consult profile manufacturers for recommendations on requirements of system strength and sealing.
Note: *Vents of 220 lb or higher must be fitted with S7280 Cam adjustment devices which are optional on lighter vents.
Note: Separate restrictors (SR8 or SR16 pair), vent holding devices or an operating mechanism maybe required to hold large vents in a selected ventilation position against variable wind pressure.
Note: As with all types of friction hinges friction cannot be provided until the slider moves, therefore when limiting the opening top hung vents to angles of 10° or less, additional separate device(s) will be required on top hung vents to enable them to remain in a selected ventilation position.
Note: Above sizes/weights also apply to BX (Sterling Offset series)
Note: For loose rivet versions, used with opening devices please contact Securistyle for advice on maximum sizes and weights.
