For High Insulation (Hi) type 30 boxes, the anchoring lug is perfectly centred in the 200 mm chain link. 

For High Insulation (Hi) type 28 boxes, the fixing lug is offset outwards by 20 mm.

Joining reinforcement and joinery

The fixing bracket, supplied on site, is secured to the reinforcement with 2 M6 x 15 mm round-headed metal screws (not supplied).

The bracket is then screwed to the top rail of the joinery using 2 M6 round-head wood/PVC screws.

The square is adjusted by means of an oblong hole.

Sealing kit
