Hospital Tip – HT

The HT suffix identifies Pemko/Markar's Hospital Tip modification.

The hospital-tip configuration modifies the top of the continuous hinge to provide a cleaner, safer profile for healthcare and institutional environments.

Pemko states that its Hospital Tip option helps provide a safe, clean environment and is available on most continuous-hinge models.

Common applications include:

• Hospitals

• Behavioral healthcare facilities

• Medical centers

• Assisted-living facilities

• Skilled nursing facilities

• Schools

• Institutional buildings

• High-traffic commercial facilities

Integrated Hinge Guard

The HG326 incorporates a protective hinge guard that helps shield both the hinge and edge of the door.

This helps reduce damage caused by:

• Hospital beds

• Gurneys

• Wheelchairs

• Utility carts

• Food-service carts

• Cleaning equipment

• Material-handling equipment

• General high-traffic use

Pemko specifically describes the incorporated edge guard as protecting the door from dents and gouges while also helping protect the hinge from vandalism.

Swing-Clear Design

The HG326 uses a swing-clear configuration designed to move the door out of the clear opening when opened approximately 90°.

This makes the hinge particularly useful where maximizing usable opening width is important, including:

• Patient rooms

• Hospital corridors

• Equipment rooms

• Accessible openings

• High-traffic institutional doors

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Construction

Pemko manufactures the HG326 from:

14-Gauge Stainless Steel

with a:

.187" Diameter Stainless Steel Pin

and stainless-steel end pins.

This construction is designed for demanding commercial openings requiring long service life and resistance to repeated use.
