EQUIPMENT ADJUSTMENTS REQUIRED
As we have improved our Nuklip Casement
design the crimping for the system has been
altered. Below are some of our recommenda
-tions for crimping the improved profiles.
Inside Crimping (HSG12 CLEAT)
The crimper blade should be for a 28mm
base system which our Nuklip Casement
range has been based on. Using the HSG12
cleat the ideal blade thickness to be 29.9mm
to get the ideal crimp on the profiles.

Outside Crimping (HSG13 CLEAT)
Using the HSG13 cleat the crimper blades
should be adjusted so the pressure is not
too high as not to fold the cleat closed.
The depth of the crimp should be only
enough as to deform the metal onto the
cleat on the inside surface. The HSG13
cleat has been designed with many
surfaces as to allow for very small
adjustments to get an ideal crimp.
