Features

Tri-Style Installation: Standard closer packaged with all necessary hardware for either regular arm, top jamb or parallel arm installation.

Aluminum Alloy Shell: closer body is a special aluminum alloy, carefully selected to accommodate closer characteristics and operating conditions.

Rack & Pinion Operation: provides a smooth transmission of power for control of the door through its full opening and closing cycle.

Adjustable Sweep Speed: an independent regulating valve with a hex drive screw; permits adjustment of the closing speed.

Adjustable Latch Speed: an independent regulating valve with a hex drive screw; permits adjustment of the door speed for approximately the last 5° of the closing cycle.

Non-Critical Valves: all control valves for sweep speed, latch speed and optional backcheck cushioning are non-critical.

Power Adjustment Shoe: closer power can be increased by 15% by rotating the forearm and mounting shoe 180° at its mounting point on the door or frame.

Optional Features

Adjustable Backcheck Cushioning: an independent regulating valve with a hex drive screw; provides an adjustable hydraulic cushioning to the door opening speed toward the end of the opening cycle. Order Series 1700BC.
