Specification
System 7-20
The Metal Technology Thermally-Broken Pivot Window has been designed to offer the specifier the advantages of polyamide themal break technology in meeting the latest thermal requirements of the current building regulations.
Introduction The basic suite has a range of outer frame sections to accommodate all expected options and applications. Also included in the basic suite of profiles are a wide range of mullion/transom sections. Various other profiles can be designed and incorporated allowing architects to achieve flexible designs. The system is glazed internally to accommodate 24mm through to 32mm double glazed units. Fixed panes may be externally glazed with the addition of a liner bar. As with all Metal Technology systems, the Pivot window system is manufactured to exacting standards enabling economy to be combined with strength to give many years of aesthetic, trouble-free operation.
This manual only refers to elements of fabrication and installation specific to Pivot Windows, and must be read in conjunction with the System 5-20 Tilt & Turn window manual.
Thermal Performance Metal Technology System 7-20, in conjunction with the correct glass specification, is designed to aid compliance with the latest thermal requirements of the current building regulations. (See separate document on compliance with thermal regulations.)
Finishes The range of sections can be provided in either of the following range of finishes: 1. Anodised to BS1615 or BS3987 2. Powder organic coated to BS6496 The System 7-20 window can accommodate a different colour/finish internally to that used externally.
Construction Frame members are mitre cut at 45°, corners are reinforced with extruded aluminium crimping cleats and corner braces. A secure joint is formed by pneumatically crimping into the extruded crimping cleat. Mullion and transom bars are square cut shaped and fixed securely to the frame by means of stainless steel screws and fixing cleats. All frame joints are sealed during construction against entry of water. Extruded weatherstrips and glazing gaskets are provided to resist the ingress of water.
Materials Aluminium profiles are extruded from aluminium alloy 6060T6, T5, or T4 complying with the recommendations of BS EN 12020 -2 : 2001 / BS EN 755 -9 : 2001 Polyamide thermal breaks are produced from glass reinforced nylon sections designed to withstand temperatures in excess of 200°C, allowing the sections to be powder coated after thermally breaking.
Where open out or Tilt & Turn windows are required the Metal Technology System 4-20/5-20 Commercial Casement/Tilt & Turn Windows should be considered.

Glazing Glass is set against co-extruded gaskets externally which are fitted into gasket grooves in the frame upstand. Clip in beads are then fitted to the inside of the frame and held secure by means of colour coded wedge gaskets internally. For glass support, purpose made setting/location blocks are provided to clip into the sections.
Scope This specification defines materials, construction, finishes and size limits for the Pivot Window.
Metal Technology should be contacted for any special operating requirements.
Installation Detailed installation instructions are provided within this and the System 5-20 Tilt & Turn manuals which should be strictly followed.
Pivot Window Fittings The sections are designed to suit a pair of horizontally or vertically mounted pivots with a variety of handle options. Metal Technology are able to supply a full range of fittings and accessories. See the relevant section of this manual for details of gearing options for specific window sizes.
Performance Air permeability - BS 6375 : Pt. 1 : 1983 test pressure 600 Pa. Water tightness - BS 6375 : Pt. 1 : 1983 test pressure 600 Pa Wind resistance - BS 6375 : Pt. 1 : 1983 test pressure 2400 Pa These levels of performance should be sufficient for any location within the UK. However, should higher levels of performance be required for any reason, Metal Technology's advice should be sought.
Development Our policy is to continually research the market for new and improved products. We must therefore retain the right to amend specifications without prior notice. It is recognised at Metal Technology that in some instances special sections may be required for particular projects. When this occurs it may be possible to produce bespoke profiles subject to there being sufficient quantity and adequate time.

General Cautionary Notes Note: When considering multi light applications fabricators should look at each application in relation to the sections used and the ironmongery required in order to determine compatibility (i.e that there is sufficient depth of section to accommodate the combination of profiles in conjunction with the ironmongery, drip rails and drainage requirements.) Special and careful consideration should be given when combining casement, tilt and turn, and pivot opening vents, and when using the 185-285 liner bar. Similar attention should be given to window head details, perimeter interface details and adjacent vent applications, and in particular where access to operate the pivot restrictor lever is required. Metal Technology recommend that each application is drawn out with all ironmongery and fixing details applied in order to determine compatibility. Fabricators should be aware that when working with the 7-20 Pivot window the maintenance of tight tolerances is critical to ensure the smooth operation of the gearing and to maintain adequate gasket cover.
Cockspur Handles Cockspur handles CA45 may be used on system 7-20 pivot windows in conjunction with 733 wedge and 713 handle packer. Metal Technology recommend that if one handle is used it should be positioned centrally and if two are used they should be positioned at the 41 points of the sash. For number of cockspur handles refer to Maximum/Minimum Size Limitation charts.
Spring Catches Spring catches 7010 may be used on 7-20 pivot windows as stipulated on Maximum/Minimum Size Limitation charts. Metal Technology recommend that if one catch is used it should be positioned centrally, and if two are used they should be positioned at the 41 points of the sash.

Additional Components End cap SAA to link bar - 7013 (one pair per link bar) Pole operator with hook - 7014 (as required)
Link bar reference 7011 7012
Folding Openers
Folding openers may be used in lieu of cockspur handles. Standard folding openers are more suited for lower level windows which can be comfortably manually operated. Pole-operated folding openers may be better suited for higher level windows. Universal folding openers offer the advantage of both options. The fabricator should select the most suitable folding opener for his application, bearing in mind access restrictions. Folding openers may not be suitable for all applications, subject to window design and access restrictions. For additional information on folding openers and Health & Safety, please refer to Metal Technology's Technical Department. Regardless of the folding opener type the minimum requirement for a pivot sash is :Sash width (mm)

PIVOT WINDOW
When using restricted pivots the restrictor knob should be situated at the jamb. Where this is not practical a wide mullion should be used. It is not recommended that vertical pivots be fitted above a transom due to possible transom bow. For futher guidance refer to Metal Technology's Technical Department. 2.5*
