Standard Features
|
Aluminum Alloy Housing
|
|
Closer bodies are constructed of a special aluminum alloy, carefully selected to accommodate interactive steel components and operating conditions.
|
Rack & Pinion Operation
|
|
Provides a smooth constant control of the door through its full opening and closing cycle. 180° door swing can be achieved when door, frame, hardware and arm function do not interfere.
|
Closer Fluid
|
|
All door closers are supplied with a temperature stable, multi-viscosity fluid. This fluid will permit the door closer to perform within a wide temperature range: from very high to as low as -40°F.
|
Non-Handed
|
|
With few exceptions all 4400 series door closers are non-handed and can be installed on either right or left-hand swing doors. Pinion shaft extends vertically through the closer body in both directions.
|
Sweep Speed Control Valve
|
|
Allows adjustment of door speed from the door's full open position down to approximately 10° from the closed position.
|
| Latch Speed Control Valve |
|
Allows adjustment of door speed from approximately 10° down to the door’s fully closed position.
|
Tri-Packed
|
|
4400 series come with screws, brackets and soffit plates to allow for regular, top jamb, and parallel arm installations.
|
| Adjustable Backcheck Cushion Valve |
|
Provides control of the door in the opening cycle, beginning at approximately 75° of door opening. It cushions the door opening when the door is forcibly opened beyond its pre-adjusted limits. |
| Adjustable Backcheck Position Valve |
|
Allows the door opening position, where backcheck cushioning begins to be adjusted to a greater door angle up to a maximum of 20º farther (approximately 95º). |
| Standard Molded Covers |
|
Molded of high-impact U.L. listed material. This cover is non-handed for all applications. |
| Warranty |
|
Limited ten-year warranty for defects and life of the building on the aluminum housing. |
Sex Nuts furnished standard with the Holder/Stop arm.
Sex Nuts/Sleeve Nuts (SN)
SN are available for all closers and should be used on steel doors to prevent dimpling, or where proper door reinforcement has not been provided. Standard sleeve nuts are for 1-3/4" (44mm) doors.
Optional Thru Bolts & Grommet Nuts (TBGN)
Through-bolts and grommet nuts (TBGN) are another fastener alternative for wood doors. Specify door thickness 1-3/4" (44mm) or 1-3/8" (35mm) when ordering.
Holder/Stop Arm
This arm incorporates a stop at the arm’s soffit plate to dead stop the door at a predetermined degree of door swing between 85° and 110°, in 5° increments. Prior to dead stop the door closer’s backcheck feature slows the door speed to reduce the impact of the stop action.
The Holder/Stop arm is intended for use where an auxiliary door stop cannot be utilized and no more than moderate abuse is anticipated.
|
Adjustable Delayed Action Closing
(Optional)
An optional hydraulic feature that adds a third speed range to the closing cycle. This feature becomes effective when the door is opened and released at any point beyond 70°. The amount of time delay depends upon the combination of the angle of door release and valve adjustment. The valve can be adjusted with a 1/8" (3mm) hex key from no delay time up to maximum delay times of:
Door Opened and Released at
|
Approximate Time of Delay Cycle
|
180°
|
4-5 minutes
|
120°
|
2-3 minutes
|
90°
|
25-30 seconds
|
Pressure Relief Safety Valve
The delayed action hydraulic system contains a pressure relief valve. Any time the door is forced toward the closed direction while it is in the closing cycle, the valve will open and permit the door to close. This prevents damage to door, frame and closer.
