Frame Materials

Hawke Transit Frames are available in various materials. The standard frames are manufactured in mild (carbon) steel, electro statically coated with vinyl based primer suitable for overcoating with finish to suit the installations environmental conditions. Alternatively, frames can be electro plated in various finishes. Frames are also manufactured in stainless steels grades 304 and 316L and X style frames are also available in aluminium. For specialist applications, frames can be manufactured to suit customers specific requirements. Where there is a possibility of eddy currents being induced into the transit frames causing the frame to heat up, frames can be manufactured with non magnetic inserts to reduce these effects.

Installations and Applications

There are several methods which can be used to install Hawke frames, each method giving an inspectable professional finish to any cable penetration. When fixing frames to concrete/brick type structures, care should be taken if using expanding type fixings as they could burst into the aperture. For Hawke frames which are cast into a wall or floor, it is recommended that a Hawke polystyrene mould is used.

Frames and moulds require support to ensure that the correct position is maintained whilst the concrete is being poured. This may be achieved by nailing through the shuttering into the mould. Hawke moulds are available to suit sizes 2, 4, 6 and 8 frames with 300mm (11.81") lengths and may be cut to suit the depth of the wall or floor as required.
