Facility managers and service technicians will appreciate the kit’s weatherproof construction and its capacity to support fans weighing up to 500 pounds while meeting NFPA Standard 96 requirements.
LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug fan power. Remove hinge pins and loose hardware. Wipe 10 Gauge steel parts with mild detergent and soft cloth; avoid abrasive pads. Rinse metal components and dry immediately to prevent corrosion. Lubricate pivot points with food-safe lubricant and reinstall pins to secure fans up to 500 pounds. Inspect seals and fasteners monthly. Clean vents and surrounding grease to reduce fire risk, bacteria buildup, and costly breakdowns.#@@#Additional Info#@#Component Hardware FG74-0506 Flame Gard DURO Hinge Kit uses 10 Gauge steel, supports fans up to 500 pounds, and meets NFPA Standard 96 for commercial kitchens; weatherproof and compact 6.04-inch width simplify installation.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
For commercial kitchen exhaust systems that require secure, code-compliant hinging, this hinge kit offers robust performance and straightforward installation. Engineered for heavy-duty service, the assembly utilizes 10-gauge steel and corrosion-resistant hardware to hinge exhaust fans and related panels reliably under continuous use. Facility managers and service technicians will appreciate the kit’s weatherproof construction and its capacity to support fans weighing up to 500 pounds while meeting NFPA Standard 96 requirements.
#@@# Material Strength#@#
The kit employs 10-gauge steel components to provide structural rigidity where fans and access panels mount. Engineers will value the predictable load characteristics and resistance to deformation under repeated cycles of opening and closing.
#@@# Corrosion-Resistant Hardware#@#
Manufactured hardware features corrosion-resistant finishes that reduce maintenance intervals in humid or exposed rooftop environments. Technicians will notice lower fastener failure rates and an extended service life compared with untreated alternatives.
#@@# High Load Capacity#@#
The design supports fans weighing up to 500 pounds, enabling retrofits and new installations across a wide range of fan sizes and duty classes. Specifying teams can standardize on one hinge kit for multiple fan models, simplifying inventory management.
#@@# Weatherproof Construction#@#
Seals and protective treatments provide weatherproofing to prevent moisture ingress and corrosion at hinge points. Operations staff will experience fewer water-related failures and reduced downtime during seasonal storms.
#@@# Code Compliance#@#
The assembly complies with NFPA Standard 96 for commercial kitchen exhaust systems, aligning with fire-safety and inspection requirements. Compliance reduces the risk of citation during routine inspections and streamlines permitting discussions with authorities having jurisdiction.
