Technical Data

The Restrictor Friction Hinge is manufactured in stainless steel and offers excellent load bearing characteristics. As part of the Nico Standard Hinge family it has identical geometry to standard Nico friction hinges allowing it to be fitted in conjunction with them if appropriate. It is available in 13mm non handed and 17mm handed stack heights.

It is recommended that fabricators check all restricted openings to ensure they comply with Building Regulations, as vent sizes and profile variations will affect 100 mm opening.

Fitting instructions for Nico Standard Restrictor Hinges are provided in the Restrictor Friction Hinges pdf and the Friction Hinge Fitting Guide link in related downloads.

• PLEASE NOTE : 12″ and 16″ Friction Hinges work on both top and side hung windows but rebate sizes do vary according to window style
