Description

Extruded mill-finished 6063-T6 aluminum jaw end assembly - Zinc-plated steel carriage bolt, machine screw, hex nut, and washer.

For installations at the head of stationary or patio awnings and for installation and adjustment of the rafters of patio awnings.
The advantage of this system is that rafters can be placed precisely, even if the surface is uneven or the mounting supports are not located where the rafters should be, because once the molding is mounted, the rafters can be slid to their proper location. Awning rafters are attached to special jaw ends that are mounted in a track in the lower side of the molding. The jaw ends can be moved laterally to adjust the rafter width. This is done by turning or tightening the jaw end, which is fitted with a carriage bolt to ride in the same track as the finger clips.

Recommended Rafter Spacing
3' to 4' centres depending on projection (the longer the rafters, the less the spacing).
