Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SAFETY FLAG from 3G Electric.
What sizes of Safety Flag windsocks are available?
Safety Flag windsocks are offered in lengths of 36, 48, 60, 72, and 96 inches, with throat diameters of 10, 18, or 24 inches depending on the model. For example, the 36-inch windsock has a 10-inch throat, while the 96-inch version is available with either an 18-inch or 24-inch throat. All are made from nylon and are supplied as windsock-only units, requiring separate mounting hardware. The color options include orange, white, and orange-and-white patterns. These dimensions allow selection based on the required visibility distance and wind sensitivity for the application.
What is included with the Safety Flag windsock mounting frames?
The Safety Flag windsock mounting frames, such as the WS10HW and WS18HW models, include two O-rings, two set collars, a mounting threaded pipe, and a wire basket. The frame itself is constructed from metal with a black finish and features a screw-on mounting design. These components are intended to secure the windsock to a pole or structure while maintaining the throat opening. The frames are available in 10-inch and 18-inch throat diameters to match corresponding windsock sizes. No pole is included with the frame.
How are Safety Flag windsocks mounted?
Safety Flag windsocks are designed for mounting via zip ties, as indicated by the product specifications. The windsock-only units do not include a frame or pole, so they require a separate mounting structure. For a more permanent installation, Safety Flag offers metal mounting frames that use a screw-on design and include a threaded pipe, O-rings, set collars, and a wire basket. The choice between zip tie and frame mounting depends on the specific site requirements and the desired stability of the windsock.
What materials are used in Safety Flag windsocks?
Safety Flag windsocks are constructed from nylon, a material chosen for its durability and visibility. The nylon is dyed in orange, white, or orange-and-white patterns to provide high contrast against various backgrounds. The mounting frames are made from metal with a black finish. While specific environmental resistance ratings are not provided, the materials are intended for outdoor use where wind indication is required. The nylon construction allows the windsock to remain flexible and visible under different weather conditions.
Where are Safety Flag windsocks typically used?
Safety Flag windsocks are commonly used at airports, helipads, industrial facilities, and construction sites to indicate wind direction and approximate speed. The larger sizes, such as the 72-inch and 96-inch models, are suitable for applications requiring visibility from a distance, while smaller sizes like the 36-inch windsock are used in more confined areas. The mounting frames allow for secure installation on poles or structures. These products support safety and operational protocols where wind conditions affect activities.
