The CBW hinges will function at the rated capacities as listed in the chart under the Technical Data tab providing the following specifications are met.
1) The hinges are installed without inducing "hinge bind".
2) A minimum of (2 ea) hinges are used per door.
3) Door weight (Thrust Load) shall never exceed the thrust capacity of one hinge.
4) Compliance with bolt specification.
5) Minimum thread engagement into reinforcing member shall be equal to the bolt diameter.
6) For weld on applications, the minimum fillet weld size shall be used per the chart under the Technical Data tab. Welds shall be full length on (3) sides of each leaf. Weld interpass temperature at the hinge barrel shall not exceed 225ºF.
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.
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".
