Butterfly Rocker Arm Mounting Bracket Pro Chutes Door Mount

Description

Product Overview

The Pro Chutes Butterfly Rocker Arm Mounting Bracket is engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Constructed from high‑grade steel and finished with a durable powder coating, the bracket resists corrosion, wear, and impact, ensuring a long service life even in humid or chemically aggressive settings. The design incorporates a door‑mount configuration that aligns perfectly with 8‑inch hydraulic retractable piston closers, and it can also accommodate 10‑inch units when required. Dimensions of 7 × 5 × 1 inches provide a compact footprint while delivering the strength needed to support heavy‑duty chute doors ranging from 15 × 15 inches up to 24 × 24 inches. The included hardware package—comprising a butterfly bracket, rocker pivot arm, socket shoulder bolt, lock nut, 1/8″ Tinnerman nut, rivet, and two stainless steel sheet‑metal screws—allows for a straightforward, tool‑light installation. Each component is precision‑machined to exact tolerances, guaranteeing a secure fit that eliminates wobble and reduces maintenance intervals. The bracket meets NFPA requirements for fire‑rated chute assemblies, making it suitable for use in laundry, linen, and waste handling systems where safety and code compliance are paramount. With a lightweight profile of just 2.89 ounces, the bracket adds minimal load to the door while providing maximum leverage for smooth, controlled closing action.

Usage

Designed for side‑hinged chute doors, this mounting bracket excels in a variety of real‑world applications. In commercial laundry facilities, the bracket secures hydraulic closers on doors that service high‑volume washing machines, ensuring that doors close quickly and quietly after each load. For waste management systems, the bracket supports trash chute intake doors, providing a reliable seal that prevents odors and pest intrusion while allowing easy access for waste removal. The bracket’s versatility extends to linen chutes in hospitals and hotels, where rapid door closure helps maintain hygiene standards and reduces cross‑contamination risks. Installation is simple: the bracket mounts directly to the door frame using the supplied stainless steel sheet‑metal screws, and the rocker pivot arm attaches to the hydraulic piston, delivering a smooth rocking motion that reduces wear on the door hinges. The bracket’s powder‑coated finish protects against moisture and chemical exposure, making it ideal for environments where cleaning agents are frequently used. Because the bracket is compatible with major chute manufacturers such as Wilkinson, Western, and Midland, it can be retrofitted onto existing systems without the need for custom fabrication. The robust construction also tolerates frequent door cycles, making it a cost‑effective solution for high‑traffic areas where durability is essential.
