device may also need to be installed. - Side hung friction hinges: For use in casement windows featuring side hung vents, Caldwell can provide the AMC4000 series of friction hinges. The AMC4000 series feature four bar channel mounts, and depending on the model, they are able to support vents up to 52kg in weight.
