CRL FH4BSD Brushed Stainless Double Floating Header for 72" Concealed Door Closers

C.R. Laurence FH4BSD Brushed Stainless Double Floating Header for Overhead Concealed Door Closers is designed for 72-inch wide openings, providing a sleek and functional solution for glass installations. This header accommodates 1/2" (12 mm) glass and is perfect for projects where floor closers cannot be installed due to constraints like special finishes or limited floor thickness. The FH4BSD allows for both glass-to-glass and glass-to-wall configurations, making it versatile for various architectural layouts. It is prepped to accept CRL Overhead Concealed Door Closers, ensuring a seamless integration with existing systems. Available in six standard architectural finishes, custom finishes can also be ordered to meet specific design requirements. It’s crucial to note that if the weight of the transom above the header exceeds 100 lbs (45.4 kg), additional support from the ceiling will be necessary to prevent bowing. This can be achieved using either the B5BC Smoke Baffle Channel or PH94 Patch Fittings. With a height of 1-3/4 in. (44 mm) and a width of 4 in. (102 mm), the FH4BSD combines aesthetic appeal with robust functionality, making it an essential component for modern architectural designs. Trust CRL for quality and reliability in every project.
