13 AWNING HINGES

1

These hinges balance a sash as it opensfor smooth, effortless operation. Thestainless steel reinforced shoe providescontinuous smooth action. Detachablesupport arms allow quick installationof the sash into the frame.

It is recommended to match the size ofthe hinge to the height and weight ofthe sash. Each size hinge is designedto balance a particular size and weightsash. Proper selection of a hinge canhelp prevent problems such as“window chatter” that are sometimesexperienced when these hinges are usedwith Truth's Awning Operators. Anadjustable friction screw allows one tocustomize ease of window movement.

Table within the drawings gives arecommended height and weight rangefor each hinge. The data in this tablehas been generated by computersimulation as a guide in matching thehinge with the window. If you have asash that doesn’t appear on this table,call Truth for selection assistance.

WARRANTY:Protected under the terms of the TruthWarranty for Window and DoorManufacturers and AuthorizedDistributors. Refer to Truth’s Termsand Conditions for further details.

MATERIAL: Steel track. Heavygauge steel support arms and acetalshoe with stainless steel insert.Corrosion resistant non-magneticstainless steel package is also available.

FINISH: Truth’s E-Gard® Hardwarehas a multi-stage coating process thatproduces a superior physical andaesthetic finish. Plus, it is resistant to awider range of corrosive materials,including industrial cleaning materialsand environmental pollutants. Thisproprietary process has been tested tobe approximately three times betterthan common zinc plated finishes.

ORDERING INFORMATION:1. Choose hinge size desired (specify by part number).

2. Specify right- or left-hand(determined by the hinge side whenlooking at the window from the outside).

3. Hinges can be ordered assembled orK.D. (knocked down). K.D. hingesallow track and arm assemblies to bepurchased separately for greater

efficiency when hardware is applied tosash and frames in separate locations.

4. Optional mounting hardware:#20585 - Adjustment screw, includedwith hinge. Replacement pieces soldseparately. #30591 - Detach clip,included with hinge. Replacementpieces sold separately.

RECOMMENDED SCREWS:Type of screws required determined bymaterial of profile being used. Referto drawings for complete informationon screw type and quantity needed(sold separately).

TRUTH TIPS:1. Special consideration should begiven when designing an awningwindow. Please consult Truth TechNote #2 for further information.

2. Failure of the concealed awninghinge can occur under certainsituations when opened to near 90º.For this reason, an operator and/orlimit device must be used with theconcealed awning hinge to prevent thewindow from being opened to 90º.

3. When an awning window is “underhinged” (i.e., when a hinge is used on a window larger than what it isrecommended for), two areas ofconcern are created. First, chatter islikely to occur when operated with anawning operator (see Truth Tips forAwning Operator). Second, dependingon the degree of under hinging, thehinge may fail at an amount of openingsignificantly less than 90º. For thisreason, the amount of opening must belimited to 45º of opening, any #13series Awning Hinge may be used onsash up to 42 inches high and 61 lbs.

4. Adding a snubber to the center ofthe top rail on an awning window mayincrease the negative air pressure rating

of the window. See Snubber sectionfor proper application.

5. For vinyl window applications,mounting screws should pass throughtwo PVC walls or one PVC wall andone insert wall. For this reason, it maybe necessary to use a longer screw thanis recommended.

6. To insure maximum screw threadengagement in vinyl profiles, a #7screw with an undercut head should beused for mounting the Track (notavailable from Truth).

7. For accurate hardware placement invinyl or metal applications, pre-drillingis recommended.

8. For metal window profiles Truthrecommends machine screws however,in most applications sheet metal screwswill provide adequate holding power.

9. When selecting mounting screws forTruth hardware, coating compatibilityis one of the most important criteria.For best corrosion resistance the coatingon the screws should be the same as thecoating on the hardware. For moreinformation, see Tech Note #11.
