• In the open position, the sash is moved outside the frame to maximise the escape aperture
• True 90º opening for egress compliance
• Achieves minimum fire escape requirement of 450mm opening for egress applications on smaller windows compared with traditional egress hinges
• Can be moved into an easy clean position, with automatic reset to egress operation on closing (345mm version)
• Excellent compression is achieved by unique patented hinge geometry
• Superior carrying weight

Specification

• Tested to BS EN 1670 Grade 5 classification for ultimate corrosion resistance
• Tested to EN1191 over 30.000 cycles under 40kg operational load:
  • 800mm wide x 40kg
