NCHM offers added flexibility when fabricating complex frame assembles. Further, FS Series Stick allows local fabrications and eliminates costly shipping and time loss. These time savers are furnished blank or with provisions for hardware, and are available in 12'0" lengths. Shown are samples only, design capabilities are available for custom sticks for any application.

FS Series Sticks shall be manufactured by NCHM designated as:
(Specify as required)

                                             1. FS-416 - 1 3/4 " thick, 16 gauge steel
                                             2. FS-414 - 1 3/4 " thick, 14 gauge steel
                                             3. FS-412 - 1 3/4 " thick, 12 gauge steel

Frame assembles shall be constructed to conform to Commercial Standard CS242- 62 , Product Standard PS4 -66 and Federal Specifications RR-D-575C.

Frame Assemblies shall be fabricated from:
(Specify as required)

                                             1. Prime quality cold rolled steel in accordance with ASTM A366.
                                             2. Galvanized steel in accordance with ASTM A525.

Frame assemblies shall be constructed from standard frame components (sticks). Where sticks are used at door openings in the frame assemblies, they shall be mortised and reinforced for all hardware as specified. Frame assemblies shall be constructed from the three basics components. Open Sections shall be identical in configurations to standard frames. Mullion sections shall have identical Jamb depths, face dimensions, and stops as open sections. The individual sticks shall be cut to length and notched to assure square joints shall be welded and ground smooth at the face of the sections.

When indicated, 1 3/4" thick steel panels shall be furnished. Panels shall be of same construction as doors. Steel channel glazing beads (18 gauge) shall be provided with the assemblies for all areas in which glass is to be installed. All frame assemblies shall be furnished with proper anchors of manufacturer's standard designs as required by wall conditions. All frame assemblies shall be thoroughly cleaned, phosphates and finished as standard with one coat of rust inhibiting prime paint. Frame assembly shall be shipped to jobsite completely welded. Field joints shall be permitted only when the size of the total assembly exceeds shipping limitations. When frame assemblies are subjected to wind loads vertical members shall be free of field splices.
