conditions for the durability of the product and maintains the characteristics of protection of the steel intact over time. Omitting or limiting maintenance actions can accelerate product degradation. Are these products corrosion-resistant? The products have obtained the corrosion resistance standards UNI EN ISO 9227:2012. The laboratory test, conducted in a neutral salt spray chamber, certifies the strength of the material and surface coatings, simulating their behavior in high-corrosion environments. Naturally, the elements must not be scratched or vandalized, otherwise the damaged areas will start rusting. Can the benches be installed in environments with extreme hot or cold temperatures? Yes, the products have passed the heat and humidity cycle tests in the ‘PTP 45’ climatic chamber. You can request the test from the sales office. Can you sit on the benches after prolonged exposure to the sun with high temperatures? Yes, the tubes of the Sierra (.015) collection are empty inside and made of aluminum, allowing the heat to be more dissipated. Shipping Sierra (.015) models ship directly from Italy to the job site. These chairs are on a 14 week lead time.
all environments. The use of the products without fixing them to a solid ground surface remains at the discretion and responsibility of the client. Ground Installation It is the responsibility of the qualified installer of verify the particularities of the pavement and to choose the most suitable fixing methods. Via Inc. suggests the following procedure as an installation example only and declines any liability in case of damage to the products or to any underground utilities.
Treatments Sierra (.015) collection products undergo hot-dip galvanization, a treatment which consists of immersing the steel articles in a tank of molten zinc. The recommended temperature for the metal is 450° C. The level of the tank is adjusted daily by adding zinc and alloys with quality in compliance with UNI EN ISO 1461 and related standards. The aluminum frame and slats are coated with polyester powder paint. This guarantees excellent resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents. It is, therefore, suitable, above all, for finishing articles intended for outdoor use. The polyester powder paints provide excellent resistance to UV rays, atmospheric and chemical agents with high durability and no peeling. The final curing phase to ensure hardening takes place at high temperatures (around 170°). Painting on Steel and Aluminum In the painting cycle, polyester powders suitable for outdoor use are used.
1. When you receive the goods and
remove the packaging, take care not to damage the finishes.
2. Place the product in the desired
position and mark the positions of the holes.
3. Move the element and drill the
pavement in the marked positions. 4. We recommend the use of wall plugs for M8 screws in case of installation on a hard surface. 5. In the absence of pavement, we recommend the construction of plinths provided with M8 anchor bolts. 6. Use stainless wall plugs if the bench is installed outdoors. 7. Proceed with tightening the screws.
Custom Colors Yes, with a minimum order quantity,
surcharge and at an extended lead time. An exact RAL color and Area Manager approval is required. Please call us at 1-800-433-6614 or contact your client accounts specialist for support. Care & Maintenance ISO standards BS EN ISO 12944-8 set guidelines for corrosion protection of steel. In order to maintain the effectiveness of this feature, it is highly recommended to execute the following procedures during product life-time: ORDINARY MAINTENANCE FOR PRODUCTS TREATED WITH HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION: • Use low pressure cold water, at least 3 times a year. • Use hot water (122-140° F / 50-60° C) and 3,5-4 bar pressure once a year.
Fixing and Safety
Is material for the installation supplied? No, any fixing to the ground is the installer’s responsibility. Structural Tests The seats have passed the structural tests designed for the benches with ground fixing (table 2 of the UNI 11306:2009 standard and table 1 of the EN 12727:2000 standard, 4th level). Tests available upon request. Benches Not Fixed to the Ground Structural tests have assumed products will be fixed to the ground to ensure safety in
