Wall Mounted Interior - User Guide

This section offers the specifier a large variety of shapes and styles of interior wall mounted fixtures, including vanity fixtures. Although many interior fixtures can be specified for “damp” exterior use, Section D, Wall Mounted Exterior, contains fixtures suitable for “wet” exterior locations.

MODIFIED FIXTURES
With our resource of skilled craftspeople we offer the designer the flexibility to tailor our standard fixtures to meet special design criteria. Many application photos show “modified” fixtures, which are denoted by an “M” in front of the catalog number, i.e. M662.

SELECTION GUIDE
When selecting wall mounted fixtures first determine whether or not it must comply with ADA requirements. Also, consider sightlines, as shown below.

SIGHTLINES
When wall mounted fixtures are used in or near stairways or can be viewed from a balcony, consider the use of a louver or translucent top cover. These are offered as options on many fixtures for which a top view may be a problem.

FINISHES
Shaper offers both plated and solid base metal finishes, depending on the fixture. Painted finishes are available for all designs. The availability of special finishes varies with the fixture design. Call your Rep or the factory for finishes not shown.

ADA AND LIGHTING
The Americans with Disabilities Act, known as ADA, affects light fixtures used in circulation or egress spaces. In practice this means that wall mounted fixtures located below 6’8” AFF in halls, corridors, passageways or aisles, must be no greater than 4” deep. Shaper offers a wide variety of compliant fixtures. These fixtures are denoted by the ADA symbol. Keep in mind that the ADA affects construction for both new and existing buildings.

MOUNTING HEIGHTS
The dimensional drawing for each fixture indicates a mounting center, denoted by the “plus sign” ( + ). If no dimension is shown it represents the center of the fixture and the J-box. If it is not the center point, it is dimensioned.
