Friction stays and pegstays

Stainless steel friction stays for top-hung and casement sashes, plus window limiters that hold the sash at the open position. The catalogue prints the sash limits and the opening angle for each size, so the stay can be chosen from the window size and weight.

Models, codes and parameters

Codes are printed exactly as in the catalogue, so a repeat order can be matched line by line. Parameters are the ones the catalogue gives for each model; where the catalogue gives no figure, the cell is left out rather than estimated.

Window limiters OHL.XWQ-10

Limiters hold a side-hung or top-hung window at the opening position. The catalogue gives the stay length L and the window width it suits.

OHL.XWQ-10-305	285	500 mm
OHL.XWQ-10-355	335	600 mm

The code number is not the stay length: L is 234 mm on OHL.XWQ-10-254, 285 mm on the -305 and 335 mm on the -355, as printed in the catalogue table. Source: Catalogue p. 147.

Selection notes

What to check before ordering

These notes come from the catalogue pages named above and from the fitting information printed with the same family.

For a side-hung sash the friction stay should be at least two thirds of the window width; a light sash can go down to one half. For a top-hung sash the stay length is about half the window height.
When the stay is loaded it deflects elastically, so choose a total stay height 0.5–1 mm larger than the gap between sash and frame to keep the seal even when closed.
Stainless self-tapping screws ST4.2 / 4.8 are used with the stays, countersunk where the profile is countersunk and pan head elsewhere.
