Hadrian 520257 Continuous Aluminum U-Channel | 55" Heavy-Duty Partition Bracket

The Hadrian 520257 Continuous Aluminum U-Channel is an industrial-grade mounting solution designed for the maximum stability of commercial restroom systems. Measuring a net length of 54-1/2", this continuous partition bracket provides full-height support for 1-inch thick panels or pilasters. It is most commonly utilized as a high-strength mounting solution for solid plastic toilet partitions (HDPE), where the weight of the material requires a more robust anchor than standard ear brackets can provide.

By distributing the load along the entire height of the panel, the 520257 acts as a critical solution for door security and partition rigidity. It eliminates the gaps found with traditional bracket "clips," providing a tamper-resistant and private finish. This heavy-duty aluminum channel is the premier choice for high-traffic environments like stadiums, schools, and transit hubs that demand a permanent solution for door edge reinforcement and panel stability.

Key Features & Performance

• Continuous Structural Support: The 55-inch vertical span prevents panel warping and movement, serving as a superior solution for door restoration when repairing loose or sagging partition walls.
• Precision 1" Fit: With an inside width of 1" and an overall width of 1-1/4", it provides a glove-like fit for 1-inch thick solid plastic or metal-clad panels.
  
• Extra Deep 2-3/4" Projection: The extended projection allows for significant adjustment during installation, making it the perfect solution for door surface repair when walls are out of plumb.
  
• Factory Pre-Drilled: Comes pre-drilled at 13-1/4" on center, ensuring a fast, uniform installation while maintaining the structural integrity of the extruded aluminum frame.
  
• Vandal-Resistant Design: The "U" configuration creates a seamless transition from wall to panel, acting as a structural remodeling scar plate that hides installation marks and prevents prying.
