FABRICATED STAINLESS STEEL / METAL LETTERS
Standard Mountings
Go to GeminiSignProducts.com to view, print or save .pdf CAD drawings of all mounting and construction options. (Stainless Steel Fabricated > Resources)
Strap Mount
Thin metal straps recessed into back and soldered to return. Stud boss welded to strap to receive threaded studs. The strap helps strengthen returns of letter. This is the default mounting method for fabricated letters. Not for use with LED lighting systems as shadowing may occur.
Removable Can Mount
Stainless “L” bracket with bosses to receive threaded studs is held in place with truss head machine screw. Due to bracket size, a minimum 4” high and minimum 1/2” deep letter & stroke is required. This allows the can to be removed from the letter back for servicing LEDs.
Bottom or Top Stud - Add 15%
Holes and bosses in bottom/top to receive threaded studs. Letters over 12" will require
our "Engineered Stud". Rounded letters will require some flattening. This method can only be selected on letters with a Lexan or steel back. Letters over 8”high require either a tie-back (not included) or a thick-back (email for quote) to safely install with this mounting option.
Side Mount
Stainless "L" bracket with bosses to receive threaded studs is glued to inside return. Due to bracket size, a minimum 4" high and minimum 1/2" deep letter & stroke is required.
Steel Back
Steel backs are laser cut to fit within the inside of the return. This is not a perfect "puzzle" fit–but is close. "L" brackets are glued to the inside return of the can. The steel is attached to the "L" bracket in 1 of 2 ways: 1) Loose tacked (welded) which is not removable. 2) Holes drilled through steel to allow for pan head screw into "L" bracket. Both methods have holes drilled for mounting studs. Backs are available raw, finished or painted steel. Steel backs are recessed slightly to allow screw heads to be flush with back of letter. Optional detachable stud, as shown on page 84 available.
Shadow Free Mount
Threaded metal stud mount glued to inside of can. Thread size 10-24 for letters up to 12” high. Thread size 1/4-20 for letters greater than 12” and up to 24”. Smaller letters could also use this mount to receive pads with studs for a flush pad mount. Stroke and depth limitations may apply.
Lexan Back*
Lexan backs are cut to fit within the inside of
the return. This is not a perfect "puzzle" fit–but is close. "L" brackets are glued to the inside return of the can. The Lexan is attached to the "L" bracket with stainless flat head screws.
Lexan is flush with back of letter. Holes are drilled through Lexan to allow for mounting studs into "L" brackets. Lexan is available in clear or light diffusing .118” - .236” thick, based on letter size. Optional detachable stud, as shown on page 84 available.
*Shown with optional white painted can interior. Up charge for painting is 10%.
