Rixson® thresholds add the finishing touch to the concealment of floor closers and pivot sets. Unlike standard thresholds supplied as part of a weatherstripping package, Rixson thresholds have preparations for spindles, adjusting values and separate floor plate sections to allow maintenance to the floor closer without disturbing the entire opening. ANSI 117.1 and A.D.A. requirements are met with 1/4" high thresholds. Prefix "PH" to 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 in aluminum and PH 700 and 800 in bronze. The PH designation must be put in threshold description. When ordering with PH floor closers it is not assumed PH threshold is necessary. ANSI 117.1 and A.D.A. will not allow over 1/2" total threshold height. Abrasive coating may be added to increase
sure footing for handicap situations.
Center Hung When ordering section B, advise hand, type (only used on 1 and 4), width (400, 500, 600, 700, 800), height 1/2" or PH 1/4", if dimensions other than standard (see chart on page 172), material (aluminum, bronze, or stainless steel). Section D specify type of closer, closer features that affect valving (SHO, AHO, NHO, DA) type (1, 3, 4, 5) width (700, 800) if stop strip, height 1/2" or PH 1/4", if dimensions other than standard (see chart on page 173). Offset (3/4 or 1-1/2) Section A advise opening size, single or pair of doors, type (1, 3, 4, 5) width (400, 500, 600, 700, 800), if stop strip, height (1/2" or PH 1/4"), type of closer, type of material (aluminum, bronze, or stainless steel). If single door opening, if miter is required. Offset Hung See previous notes for section A and D. When miters are ordered for replacement,
specify section material (aluminum, bronze, or stainless steel) and hand. Standard
miters are 1-1/8" –- advise if different width is required. Lengths
other than those on page 173 must be noted. Return Miters Furnished on the pull side of the door. The return miter at the spindle side of the doorway is detachable for easy removal of closer plate section. Four corner miters, to enhance finished appearance, are available upon request. MITERED DESIGN Straight Ends When the threshold abuts a wall at the ends, straight ends up to 2" can be substituted for mitered returns at no additional cost. Provides a continuous, finished appearance. STRAIGHT END DESIGN Bevel Cut Thresholds Standard width thresholds can be straight rip cut to achieve a flush floor condition. The threshold bevel on the interior side of the door is removed; permits threshold and carpet (or tile) to meet at the same height. A 5/16" bar support (provided) or built-up concrete sill is required. Dimensional details required. Scribing (Drawing indicates number of cuts required to complete
various scribing operations.)
Stop Strip Stop strips are furnished at extra cost, when specified. On single acting doors, a stop strip is recommended to serve as a weather
seal on the push side at the bottom of the door.
No. 200 Stop Strip (offset Hung) For use on threshold cut for all floor and overhead concealed OFFSET TYPE closers and pivot sets. This adds 3/8" to width of threshold. Where 200 stop strip is used, it is always applied to the bevel on the push side of the threshold. No. 201 Stop Strip (Center and Butt Hung) For use on thresholds cut for all floor and overhead concealed CENTER HUNG single acting closers, CENTER HUNG pivot sets and BUTT HUNG floor closers.Where 201 stop strip is used, stop strip is always applied on tread surface of threshold on push side, not on the bevel. No. 301 Step Down Strip Designed to accommodate sill conditions where the floor drops 1/2" below sill height. Add 1" to width of threshold. Step down strip may be applied to either push or pull side of thresholds. Not available on Type 5 thresholds. Thresholds for Overhead and Surface Door Closers Straight threshold lengths, with or without 1-1/8" mitered or straight ends, are available for Nos. 700, 800, and 0700 overhead concealed closers, or any manufacturer's surface and overhead concealed closer. Anchoring Thresholds are drilled for installation. They are furnished with concrete
anchors as standard. If machine screws and expansion shields are required,
specify "MSES".
Sizes The width of the threshold must be sufficient to completely cover the closer.
All cover plates (or "D" section) must be 6-3/4" or 7-3/4"
wide. Narrower types may be used where overhead concealed or surface closers
are being supplied. On 500 series thresholds, the cover plate section is furnished
with 6-3/4" or 7-3/4" cover plate (D Section) and 3-3/4" or 4-3/4"
center (A Section).
Height will be 1/4" when physically handicaped (PH) is specified. Extra-Wide Thresholds Special widths of 8-3/4", 9-3/4", 10-3/4", 11-3/4" or 12-3/4" are available on request. A 5/16" x 1-1/2" center
bar support is provided as standard. Detailed dimensions required. Not available
with Type 5.
