PACKAGING BRACKET - ACCESSORIES
The screw loop is made especially for the FHS system, and it is therefore important always to include the screw loop when, for example, loaning to other museums.
The packaging bracket consists of two components in sprung steel which are mounted without extra screws in the FHS bottom plate. The powerful sprung steel and a centred plastic jacket ensure that the screw loop is transported securely without loosening or rattling. The packaging bracket is available in all FHS sizes.

MARKING PIN - ACCESSORIES
The marking pin is an accessory to simplify the placing of wall hooks. The marking pin is screwed into the runner, the artwork is then lifted into position. With a light pressure, the place for the wall hook is marked without wasting time measuring distances between hooks. The marking pin is available in all FHS sizes.

MOUNTING
The FHS can be used to exhibit art in various ways. In most cases, museums choose to present paintings to hang largely parallel with the walls. In such an exhibition, the FHS is mounted on the artwork frame's upper quarter. This placing is also suitable when FHS is used with transport securer (see Accessories).
In older galleries, with reconstruction of historical settings, the FHS is placed somewhat lower so that the painting can lean more. If the wall hooks are replaced by swings, the effect is still further enhanced.
Irrespective of whether swings or wall hooks are used, the FHS can always be adjusted in height afterwards for aesthetic hanging.
Large, modern paintings without, or with very narrow frames, are most suitably hung in an FHS mounted as high as possible, then hung on a screw head placed into the FHS profile's ""keyhole"".
No matter which mounting is used, the mounting must always take place in healthy, undamaged timber and never directly into the frame's corner fittings. Use Temart's tested quality screws and use the correct screw length for the frame profile. Screws included in the basic package are compatible with the Pozidriv standard (PZ).
