Window Safety
Andersen window opening control devices are designed to meet ASTM standards for window fall prevention devices with emergency escape and rescue release mechanisms. These devices are intended to prevent accidental falls by children aged five years and under through open windows while allowing for the intentional opening of a window as may be needed for escape, rescue or ventilation. Proper location and installation of these devices to allow a less than 4 inch opening is required to meet the ASTM standard. Each device comes with a hang tag that indicates the device was tested to the ASTM standard. This tag should remain on the device until final code inspection, if required.
Andersen now has window opening control devices available for the following products:
Window Opening Control Devices for Casement Windows
The window opening control device offering for Andersen casement windows is:
 |
- A simple, orange push-button release that clearly identifies the release mechanism of the device, and an innovative flip cap shields it from accidental release. Opening the flip cap and pushing the release button are the two steps required to release the sash.
- Releasable with the insect screen in place and automatically reengages when the window is closed. Therefore, the screen can stay in place and the sash can be released for ventilation without letting in insects.
- Made of corrosion-resistant* stainless steel, the device is neatly displayed on the sill stop of the casement window.
- Available for A-Series and 400 Series casement windows and 400 Series casement windows with Stormwatch protection in standard and custom sizes.
