Teapot Speciality Sign Bracket

Panel Accessories 

If you already have your panel we have a number of fixings to attach it to our bracket:

Hanger Plate or Hanger strap

If you have a panel with a substantial frame the Hanger Plate is designed to be screwed to the top edge and will directly hang from the bracket.

The Hanger Straps are a traditional way of hanging heavier panels as the fixings are along the top & down both sides.

We stock several widths, four of which will match this bracket. (not suitable for a panel less than 20mm thick)

Hanger Plate

Hanger Strap

Suspension eyes, links and shackles 

The Suspension Eyes are zinc plated and we use a tro pack epoxy to screw & bond them into our 19mm PVC panels.
Our Zinc plated screw Karabina Links are ideal for linking between the Suspension Eyes and your existing bracket. (not usually required if you order one of our brackets)
Our Long Shackles are stainless steel and ideal where you have a thin sheet panel such as AMC or aluminium (up to 10mm thick)

Swing Preventor / Limiter

Occasionally you may need to limit the amount of panel swing or stop it swinging altogether.Our Swing Preventor is a simple bracket that screws to the bottom of the panel and bolts to the wall, whilst the Swing Limiter consists of screw eyes that go into the wall and the panel with a stainless steel cable between them. The amount of swing is governed by how slack you leave the cable. 

If your bracket needs to fit to corner of building you can add a Corner Bracket Adapter. If it is a heavy panel then a Cable Stay Kit provides added support.

LIGHTING

We have the following lighting option to go with this bracket:

LED Floodlight Pictorial Kit

This small & discrete LED flood lights Pictorial Kit is both stylish & sturdy. It has a slim curved arm and we have fitings for mounting to either square or round arms, The light angle is adjustable to match the size of your sign panel.

The slim aluminium bodied LED units are incredibly bright ( 800 lumens each) but super energy efficient producing the equivelant of a normal 80w bulb using only 10w.

Trough Light Pictorial

LED's will work out a great deal cheaper in the long run for your customer simply because they consume about 80% less electricity and more importantly they last for about 50,000 hours so no lamp changing with all that that entails.

The kits are complete with the two trough lights with cables and the fixings to mount them to this Ject sign bracket.

Swan Neck Cowl Light Pictorial

More ornate & traditional are a pair of Cowl Lights.

They are powder coated and we stock them in Black, Silver and we supply them with the mounting bracket and a pair of ES LED bulbs
