Bracer Design
A common problem regularly encountered is insufficient or incorrect hole position in bracer tubes.
Tubular bracers require sufficient holes to allow the molten zinc to readily flow in and out. Drain holes in the centre of a bracer’s end plate will leave trapped zinc that will lead to unsightly runs. To over come this problem additional holes have to be drilled in the tube.
Unfortunately the drilling of any additional holes is charged extra and may delay the turnaround on your order.
Optimum Bracer Design
The optimum solution is to have open ends on the bracer. This will ensure that the best quality finish is achieved.
Remember The Following:
- End plates with centred holes will require additional holes
- As the volume of the bracer increases then so does the size and/or quantity of holes required
- Optimum end plate design will lead to the best quality
