Type AFG
The very latest production procedures are used in the
manufacture of the AFG floor grille including the use of robotic
welding.

Materials
Grille face and border frame are from extruded aluminium
sections, mill finish as standard.
Optional finishes include natural anodise, black with linished face,
powder coated silver grey RAL 9006 or nylon coated black.
Rear assemblies made from formed sheet steel frame and
extruded aluminium blades, stove enamelled black (RAL 9005).
Description
The type AFG floor grille has been specifically developed for Dimensions
mounting in Raised Access Floors in such areas as Computer
Rooms, where load and damage resistance are of the utmost Nominal size A B C
importance.
Having a heavy duty construction, the AFG can replace 600mm 600 599 68.5 140 approx
square floor tiles to handle supply air or alternatively extract air.
Grille border depth can be specified to suit the type of floor
system used. A range of surface finishes is available. Can be
fitted with rear opposed blade damper assembly for air volume
flow control.

Installation Technical Data

Shims are permanently fitted to the underside of the grille frame in
the area of the pedestal to provide the required depth between Table 1: Supply air
pedestal face and upper surface of flooring. These shims are
factory fitted, see detail ‘A’ for range of dimension ‘X’. V· (l/s)
