CRL Prima Series Pivot Hinges — Model PPH01 (SKU: PPH01BR) are engineered for 5/16" to 3/8" (8–10 mm) tempered safety glass and expand application flexibility for frameless shower doors and commercial glass installations. As a top-or-bottom mount pivot hinge, the Prima Series carries most weight at the floor, allowing inset mounting for clearance behind towel bars and other wall projections. These solid brass pivot hinges are self-centering with four springs for strong retention and full rotation swing, making them ideal for heavy glass shower doors that require smooth automatic aligning and long-term durability.
Key differentiators:
- Top/Bottom mount design reduces required glass cut-outs versus standard side-mount glass-to-glass hinges, showing more glass for a cleaner frameless look.
- Solid brass construction for strength and longevity in residential and hotel shower environments.
- Optional 5° pivot pin sets (Cat. No. P1VP1N) let you adjust door closing position by 5°—can be installed before or retrofitted after installation.
- Adaptable to Deluxe Header System for partial-height enclosures (PPH01). Compatible header adaptors available separately.
- Patented design (U.S. Patent No. 5,297,313).
Optional 5 degree Pivot Pin set (for Prima, Cardiff, Rondo, and Shell Series): Sold as a set (one top, one bottom). Use to alter closing position by 5°. Not included with hinge purchase. Pre-set 5° hinge models are also available from stock.
Performance with two hinges: For 5/16"–3/8" (8–10 mm) glass, two hinges support up to 100 lbs (45 kg) with a maximum door width of 31" (787 mm).
