HCI+2
2-Foot Rail Extension
For Use with HCI-12 12-foot “I-beam” Rail
Installation Instructions
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Model HCI+2 2-foot “I-rail” extension is designed to be compatible with the Model
HCI-12 12-foot chain-drive “I-rail” used in commercial garage door installations and
in carriage house garage door installations. The 2-foot extension, when added to the
12-foot “I-rail”, provides a 14-foot long rail for operating high-lift doors.
The kit includes two “T-rail” sections that bolt together to form an “I-rail” and
connect to the main “I-rail” using two reinforcing straps. The kit also includes two
short lengths of chain to extend the stock chain.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Linear’s pre-assembled chain-drive rails are now being produced configured for
quieter operation with the trolley traveler located next to the turnbuckle on the chain
(turnbuckle adjacent). Earlier chain rails have the trolley traveler located on one
side of the rail, and the turnbuckle located on the other side of the rail (turnbuckle
opposite). This extension kit will work for both types of rail configurations.
When using this extension with the turnbuckle adjacent rails, connect the two
short lengths of extension chain supplied together to form one longer chain, and
attach that chain to the non-traveler side of the turnbuckle. See Steps 15 & 16.
When using this extension kit with the older rails, attach a short extension chain
to each side of the turnbuckle. See Steps 15 & 16.
