Deltana FCA12U3 Friction Casement Adjuster 12 in Brass

Product Description

The DELTANA FCA12U3 is a 12-inch friction casement adjuster finished in bright brass. It is designed to hold casement windows in a fixed open position by providing adjustable friction resistance along the adjuster arm. The part installs between the window sash and the frame, allowing the operator to set the window at any angle and keep it there without drift. Glaziers, finish carpenters, and general contractors typically specify this hardware during window installation or replacement service. The bright brass (U3) finish suits both interior and exterior trim applications where a warm metallic appearance is required.

This adjuster is suited for residential and light commercial casement window applications. It works with single and double casement window units where a surface-mounted friction stay is the specified hardware type. The FCA12U3 is sold individually and is appropriate for new construction window rough-ins as well as retrofit service on existing casement frames where the original adjuster has worn or failed.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation friction casement adjuster for residential and light commercial casement window frames requiring a 12-inch stay arm in a bright brass finish.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a glazier, finish carpenter, or skilled general contractor. Fasten the adjuster to the window sill track and sash pivot point using manufacturer-specified fasteners appropriate for the frame material. Ensure the window sash is fully closed and the frame is square before securing the mounting points. Friction tension adjustments should be made with the sash in the open position to confirm the arm holds without slipping.
