Product Description
48″ Standard Super Hinge – Fans 42-63 Inches
Super Hinge changes the way exhaust fans are hinged for cleaning and maintenance. The Omni Super Hinge’s patented technology allows for ease, convenience, versatility and durability, and helps increase the life of the expensive fan housing by adding support to prone failure areas of the fan base. Laser cut heavy gauge powder coated steel components eliminate the repetitive flexing stress that occurs to fan base during use and service. Corrosion proof hardware is provided to ensure that the Super Hinge stays firmly attached to the fan and duct. NFPA 96 Code 8.1.1.1 states: “Approved Up-blast Fans with motors surrounded by the air stream shall be hinged, supplied with flexible weather proof electrical cable and service hold-open retainers, and listed for this use.”
The SH-D Standard line of Super Hinges has been designed to provide maximum support for the thin material of fan bases in cases when disruption of the fan is not an issue (new construction or fan down time is permissible). The SH-D Standard design gives superior support to vertical and horizontal surfaces of fan bases. Installation requires removing the fan from the duct with minor measuring and drilling of the fan base to secure the system. Versatility for all fan-to-duct offsets is possible with the supplied shim kits, making a secure centered fan to duct contact point possible. Installation adjustments for various heights of fan bases can be accommodated during install by choosing the correct height of the lower duct arms by fastening them in the desired holes of our patent pending Pivot Cams of the Super Hinges. This allows hinge installation on taller or thicker fan bases. The SH-D Standard line of Super Hinges is stocked and ready to ship in sizes to accommodate fans with base dimensions from 10 inches square up to 55 inches.
If a fan exceeds these sizes, our Print-n-Fit forms available on this site will direct you as to which measurements are needed for us to make custom application hinging systems for unique or oversized fan-to-duct hinging scenarios.
