Parallel Arm Closers: Brackets for Non-Hold-Open Arms
Standard Installation -- #1618 Soffit Plate: This
soffit plate is supplied standard with parallel arm closers. It can be mounted where the
frame soffit is as narrow as 1" (25 mm).
Mounting Between Doors -- #2018 Soffit Bracket: For
use where insufficient space between companion doors does not permit use of other soffit
plates. This bracket permits mounting of the closer between doors with as little as
4-1/8" (105 mm) of header space. Permits closer arm to clear up to a 5/8" (16
mm) high stop.
Narrow Frame/Removable Stop -- #2018B Soffit Plate:
For use where a narrow frame or frame with removable stop does not permit use of
the standard soffit plate. This plate may be mounted on the frame soffit or the frame
rabbet where the stop does not exceed 5/8" (16mm) in height. All of the screw holes
are in a straight line, requiring as little as 1-1/4" (32 mm) of frame reveal to
mount bracket and maintain good closer arm geometry. Where the frame soffit is as wide as
2" (51mm), this soffit plate may be used to clear weatherstripping that is up to
1-3/8" (35mm) wide and 5/8" (16mm) in height.
Blade/Applied Stop -- #2018D Soffit Plate: For
use where a blade or applied stop does not permit installation of the standard soffit
plate. Mounts to either the frame soffit or rabbet. Since this soffit plate projects
7/8" (22 mm) less than a standard soffit plate, it requires a minimum frame reveal of
1-1/2" (38 mm). Permits closer arm to clear up to a 5/8" (16 mm) high stop.
Flush Transom -- #2018L Angle Bracket: For
use where rabbeted or flush transom conditions prevent installation of a soffit plate.
Used in combination with the 1618 soffit plate, or it may be used in combination with the
2018S soffit plate when it is necessary for the closer arm to clear a separate overhead
door holder.
Extra-clearance -- #2018S Offset Soffit Plate: For
use where the need for additional clearance prevents use of the standard soffit plate.
This plate mounts to the frame soffit to provide up to 1-1/2" (38mm) of clearance
when a separate overhead door holder is used. Standard mounting requires a 2-5/8"
(67mm) wide frame soffit. It may also be used where unusually high frame stops or
weatherstripping prevent the use of other soffit plates. |
