Fixture Supports For Lavatories, Sinks, Water Coolers and Hospital Fixtures Technical Data |
Overview
Fixture supports have been designed to secure and support
lavatories, sinks, electric water coolers, hospital service and scrub-up
sinks, and many other types of off-the-floor fixtures. The supports for
these fixtures are divided into two general categories: Floor Mounted
Supports and Wall Mounted Supports. |
Typical
Arrangements of Floor and Wall Mounted Supports
Pro-Set FLOOR MOUNTED UPRIGHT SUPPORT - Pro-Set is the trade name for the Smith system using uprights welded to base plates. This applies to round or rectangular uprights. The function of the support is to provide the means of mounting an off-the-floor fixture so that the vertical load bearing members are completely concealed inside the wall. This system has no external contact with the finished floor inside the room. WALL MOUNTED SUPPORT - The function
of this support is to provide for securing of the fixture to the wall
in areas where a floor mounted support cannot be installed. The wall structure
must be of sufficient strength to support the entire weight of the fixture.
NOTE: Single Plates for Battery Applications Available See Figs. 0722, 0722 (-E), and 0728, 0728 (-E). REGULARLY FURNISHED: Floor or wall mounted supports with concealed or exposed arms, and/or with plate and studs as indicated by figure number selected. Exposed arm assemblies are acid resistant coated. Base supports for floor mounted type are welded to uprights. Escutcheons and exposed trim are chromium plated. Miscellaneous cast iron and steel parts are duco coated. NOTE: SMITH provides Fixture Support

"Sure-Set" Concealed Arms
Specification and installation of "off-the-floor" lavatories,
sinks and similar fixtures has greatly accelerated due to their many superior
qualities. Smith engineers, recognizing this trend have greatly improved
the existing methods of supporting these fixtures and among these improvements,
sure-set concealed arms provide the most reliable method of supporting
lavatories on concealed arms.
