<strong>GIESSE</strong> TECH PIVOT<br />
THE HIGH PERFORMANCE PIVOT THAT'S QUICK AND EASY TO INSTALL<br />
The TECH pivot is a big advance in Giesse technology<br />
- the perfect combination of modern<br />
styling, robust construction and speed of installation.<br />
The TECH pivot features a robust construction<br />
in die-cast zamak for loads up to 120 kg when<br />
installed on horizontal pivots and 100 kg on<br />
vertical pivots. It is thus the ideal pivot for windows<br />
makers making large-sized windows<br />
with guaranteed safety.<br />
The TECH pivot is designed for more than<br />
25,000 open/close cycles - making it one of<br />
the highest performance units currently available.<br />
The TECH pivot is equipped with an adjustable<br />
force setting to prevent the window being<br />
slammed shut by sudden gusts of wind.<br />
The open/close force setting can be adjusted<br />
with a simple grub screw. And the unit's<br />
rounded shape gives it a modern styling in line<br />
with the most recent trends in de sign.<br />
Advantages<br />
120<br />
Kg<br />
Load bearing capacity 120 kg<br />
The TECH pivot can support loads<br />
of up to 120 kg when installed on<br />
horizontal pivots and 60 kg on<br />
vertical pivots, thus enabling the<br />
windows maker to make largesized<br />
installations with guaranteed<br />
safety.<br />
Design<br />
The design of the TECH pivot is<br />
unique among competing<br />
products, since it employs the<br />
rounded forms typical of diecasting,<br />
without the sharp corners<br />
and edges typical of products<br />
machined from extruded aluminium<br />
bar.<br />
25.000<br />
Durability to CEN/TS 13126-92004<br />
The TECH pivot owes its great<br />
robustness to the use of die-cast<br />
zamak, and is designed to resist<br />
more than 25,000 open/close<br />
cycles, thus achieving the<br />
maximum durability rating (5) of the<br />
CEN/TS 13126-9:2004 technical<br />
specification.<br />
Locks open at 30°<br />
The TECH pivot locks open at 30°.<br />
This means that the window's<br />
aperture is always limited, as a<br />
security feature: the window<br />
cannot be opened further without<br />
holding down a button mounted on<br />
the side of the pivot. The lock is<br />
mounted on one of the two pivotes<br />
in the installed pair.<br />
Automatic lock at 180°<br />
When the window is opened to<br />
180° to clean the outer pane, the<br />
TECH pivot automatically locks to<br />
this position.<br />
Simply press the button on the side<br />
of the pivot to release the locking<br />
mechanism and close the window.<br />
Quick installation and mounting<br />
The TECH pivot is quick and easy<br />
to install to the frame profile, and<br />
allows the window to be installed<br />
even on site, thanks to its special<br />
mounting plates.<br />
Perimetrical locking Kit<br />
The kit provides 3 locking points<br />
for centre-hung windows (one on<br />
handle side plus two on pivot<br />
sides) and is suitable for both<br />
horizontal and vertical centre-hung<br />
windows.<br />
