Tiomos -5˚ Spacer for Screw Fixing, Nickel-Plated
Description
Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer For Hinge Positioning
Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer is a zinc, nickel-plated spacer designed for placing under wing mounting plates on Tiomos hinges, so you can introduce a -5 degree change in hinge geometry where the job demands it. The nickel-plated finish over the zinc base creates a stable, metal-to-metal interface between the Tiomos hinge wing plate and the cabinet surface, which matters when you want consistent seating without deforming softer substrates. Because this part is dedicated to Tiomos hinges, installers can use it to fine-tune door position within that hardware family instead of altering cabinet layouts. Grass America branding and the F072135758217 part number identify it as a purpose-made spacer wedge, giving you a repeatable reference when matching drawings, service notes, or reordering for the same hinge setup on future projects.
Key Spacer Details That Support Hinge Setup
- The zinc, nickel-plated construction provides a solid, corrosion-resistant contact surface under the wing mounting plate, which supports long-term, stable hinge seating in typical cabinet environments.
- The -5 degree design builds a negative angle into the hinge mounting, which lets you correct or create small alignment changes without altering cabinet or door machining.
- Placement under wing mounting plates keeps the spacer directly in the load path of the Tiomos hinge, which helps translate the intended 5 degree change into predictable door movement.
- The dedicated Tiomos hinge focus keeps this spacer tied to a known hinge line, which simplifies layout decisions when standard mounting plates alone do not give the required angle.
- The Grass America F072135758217 part designation gives a precise identifier, which supports consistent specification across drawings, job submittals, and repeat orders.
Mounting The Spacer Under Wing Plates
This Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer is designed for screw fixing, so it fastens mechanically between the cabinet surface and the wing mounting plate, keeping the spacer locked in position during hinge adjustment. Because it is intended for placing under wing mounting plates, the installer sandwiches it directly beneath the Tiomos wing plate, preserving the usual screw pattern while adding the negative 5 degree geometry. The nickel-plated zinc body resists crushing under screw pressure, so the angle effect stays consistent as the screws are tightened and the hinge is adjusted through its normal range.
Using The Spacer In Real Hinge Layouts
Where This Tiomos Spacer Fits Into Hinge Work
The NEG 5DEG SPACER WEDGE FOR TIOMOS HINGES is built specifically for Tiomos hinges, so it fits into projects where that hinge line is already specified and a controlled negative angle is required. By sitting under wing mounting plates, the spacer becomes part of the mounting stack on the cabinet side, influencing how the Tiomos hinge throws the door relative to the case. The -5 degree wedge geometry allows fabricators to introduce an intentional offset when door reveal, overlay, or carcass conditions make a straight mounting less desirable. Because the spacer is zinc, nickel-plated, it tolerates direct contact with standard cabinet materials and hinge components while maintaining a smooth bearing surface under the plate.
Why The -5 Degree Wedge Improves Repeatable Results
The Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer uses its dedicated wedge shape to change the hinge mounting angle, which helps installers repeat the same correction on multiple doors instead of improvising on each opening. Screw fixing secures the wedge so the 5 degree adjustment does not drift over time, supporting consistent reveals after repeated use of the doors. Tying the design to Tiomos hinges keeps the geometry aligned with that hinge system, reducing rework that can occur when generic shims are used. The zinc, nickel-plated construction provides a uniform thickness and hard surface under every wing mounting plate, which helps each hinge on a run of cabinets respond the same way to the built-in negative angle.
Common Questions About This Tiomos Spacer Wedge
What does the Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer actually do?
The Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer introduces a negative 5 degree angle under Tiomos hinge wing mounting plates, which changes door movement to better match challenging cabinet or door conditions.
Where is this NEG 5DEG spacer wedge installed in the hinge stack?
The NEG 5DEG SPACER WEDGE FOR TIOMOS HINGES is installed under the wing mounting plate, so it directly affects the Tiomos hinge mounting angle on the cabinet side.
How does screw fixing help this hinge spacer in use?
The Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer uses screw fixing, so the wedge is clamped between cabinet and wing plate, keeping the 5 degree geometry stable during hinge adjustment and door operation.
Why is the spacer made from zinc with nickel plating?
The zinc, nickel-plated construction gives the spacer a hard, corrosion-resistant metal surface, which supports durable contact with Tiomos hinge parts and typical cabinet materials.
What hinge family is this Grass America spacer intended for?
This Grass America spacer, identified as NEG 5DEG SPACER WEDGE FOR TIOMOS HINGES, is intended for use with Tiomos hinges in that specific hinge system.
How does the F072135758217 part number help on projects?
The F072135758217 part number provides a clear identifier for the Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer, simplifying documentation, ordering, and matching spacers across multiple jobs.
Choose This Spacer For Precise Tiomos Adjustments
The Tiomos -5 Degree Spacer from Grass America gives hinge installers a defined, negative 5 degree wedge that fits under Tiomos wing mounting plates, turning a standard hinge layout into a controlled angled setup. With zinc, nickel-plated construction and screw fixing, it becomes a stable part of the Tiomos mounting stack, useful whenever drawings or field conditions call for a reliable negative angle. Use this dedicated spacer wedge when a Tiomos hinge job needs that specific -5 degree correction delivered in a repeatable way.
