Specification of EPCO Structural Fittings
1.1
The EPCO
Structural
fittings
are manufactured using the lost wax casting method with 316 Grade
stainless steel with a tensile strength of 600 MPa providing a
flexible connection between glass and supporting system. The fitting’s
arms are designed to support a maximum loading and allow flexibility
to reduce the stress around the glass holes.

The EPCO
bolt
assembly offers Standard Countersunk,
Flat Head Bolt and Articulated Swivel Bolts to give single point fixed
or flush appearance to outward surface of glazing system.
1.2.1 Countersunk
socket head screws are the bolting members which are manufactured from
316 Grade stainless steel with a tensile strength of 600 MPa and an
M10 external thread.
1.2.2 The
EPCO fittings are protected from direct contact with the glass by
Fiber Gasket, EPDM or Phenolic resin.
1.2.3 The
glass hole is insulated by U.V. resistant Nylon bushing.
