Series W hinges will function at the rated capacities providing the following specifications are met:
1. The hinges are installed without inducing "hinge bind".
2. A minimum of 2 hinges (1 pair) are used per door.
3. Door weight or thrust load shall never exceed the thrust capacity of one hinge.
4. Compliance with bolting specification.
5. Minimum Thread engagement into reinforcing member shall be equal to bolt diameter.
6. For weld on applications, the minimum fillet weld size shall be 1-1/4" and be full length on (3) sides of each leaf. Weld interpass temperature at the hinge barrel shall not exceed 225°F.
7. For certain high frequency applications, adequate load distribution between hinges maybe necessary to obtain the highest margin of safety with respect to load-life on bearings. This can be accomplished using a torque wrench to equalize the load on the set screw of each hinge. The closer the torque value between each set screw, the closer the load distribution between hinges. In order to perform this task on very heavy doors, it may be necessary to temporarily lift some of the weight off the hinges.
8. Maximum (+) adjustment is 1/8" over nominal.
During installation, we recommend pre-loading the hinges to remove any clearances that may develop from a tolerance "stack-up".
