1. LAMBDA WS / DS 075 – MARKET LAUNCH

1.3 Hueck GEN 4.0 – the innovative window fittings

The easier and quicker the fabrication, the better and more economical it is for the metal window manufacturer. In the case of the innovative window fittings for the Hueck Lambda WS 075 (IS) and WS 090 (IS) window series, this Hueck maxim is thought through to its logical conclusion.

Thanks to a completely new concept, Hueck fittings now require installation of only a few components, with a reduced number of screws. At the same time, the fittings themselves offer unmatched ease of installation, even in the concealed design. For example, among other advantages, the operating rod can be inserted without machining of the sash profile.

An innovative operating rod concept with clip-in system lengths for different window sizes replaces the push rods that were customary until now. This also removes the need for the associated cutting and punching work.

A variable locking gear concept allows use of all commercial window handles with a 7 mm shank and a 43 mm screw spacing in addition to Hueck’s new, exclusive window handles.
