EC-Flex System - Fabric Size Requirements
On the Standard and Hinged frame system:
• Add 3" of face material to each dimension or
6" total to the length and width of the cabinet.
• Subtract 1/8" per 3' of face material not to exceed 1"
from either dimension for tension factor.
EC-Retro Fit Frame:
•
•
Add 2 1/2" of face material to each dimension or
5" total to the length and width of the cabinet.
Subtract 1 /8" per 3' of face material not to exceed 1"
from either dimension.
EC-F!ex Clip Placement
First notch a 3" square from each corner of trimmed flex face material. With the face material
facing up, fold approximately 2 1/2" of material over the 4" aluminum bar. Slide and center clip
over face material and bar, bolt side up. Clip spacing should not exceed 10" on center around the
perimeter of the tensioning system. At the start of each corner, place a clip 3-4" from the end for
best results.
EC-Flex System - Bracing Requirements:
Vertical bracing should be used once the face size is larger than 4" tall and 8' long. The ECFrame or Retro-Fit Brace should be used at a maximum of 3' on center. Horizontal bracing may
be required on 4' centers for larger hinged faces. Vertical and horizontal struts should be welded
or double bolted to the frame braces. Size and wall thickness of the vertical struts should be
determined based on cabinet size and structural needs.
