| Use advice for data set | Scope: This document relates to the MFT-FOX HT 320 L 11 as a representative product for the MFT-FOX T portfolio including FOX VT and FOX HT. FOX T products cover the same applications and are equal in material constitution and have been summarized in this EPD. FOX HT and FOX VT can be divided into two classes with 1 bracket size. FOX VT to be used for the vertical faade application, FOX HT for horizontal ones. Moreover, FOX HT 320 L 11 is chosen because it displays the highest weight of this product group, leading to the most conservative results. System boundary: Type of EPD: Cradle to factory gate with modules C1-C4 and D. The following information modules are defined as system boundaries in this study: Production stage (A1- A3): - A1, raw material extraction, - A2, transport to the manufacturer, - A3, production. End of life (C1- C4): - C1, dismantling/demolition, - C2, transport, - C3, waste treatment, - C4, disposal. Reuse, recovery and recycling potential (D) In order to accurately record the indicators and environmental impacts of the declared unit, a total of 8 information modules are considered. The information modules A1 to A3 describe the provision of materials, transport to the production site and the production processes of the product itself. The primary products are sourced from the European Union and Asia. Transport is by lorry and ship. The following flow charts illustrate the underlying production process. Figure Information modules A 1 to A3 of the product. Figure Information modules A 1 to A3 of the packaging. In the information modules C1 to C4, the deconstruction or demolition from the building, the transport to waste disposal, the waste treatment and disposal of the product are recorded. Furthermore, reuse, recovery and recycling potentials are reported in information module D. | ||
| Technical purpose of product or process | MFT-FOX T items are developed to be fixed on base materials like concrete, masonry, steel frame structure and wood. This product is used as a substructure for ventilated faade (rainscreen) applications. According to the method of installation to the base material – anchors, screws or direct fastening can be used – with different hole geometries in the base plate. During the application the horizontal profiles are connected to the brackets with specially designed screws, which combine the fix and flexible point in one connection point. Due to thermal expansion of the profile, the brackets take over this movement. With this system, wall tolerances of up to 40 mm can be balanced. | ||

| Technology description including background system | MFT-FOX T is designed as an aluminium substructure system. The brackets are suitable for all façade claddings. The products are used for fastening ventilated façade substructures to concrete, masonry concrete, masonry, steel frame constructions and wood. They enable the installation of façade substructures on the primary structure of the primary structure and can be used for the installation of vertical and horizontal support rails. Technical data: Technical documentation according to EN 1090-3. Declared unit: The declared product here is an aluminium profile from HILTI AG with the designation MFT-FOX HT 320 L11 as a representative product from the MFT-FOX HT & MFT-FOX VT portfolio. It is the heaviest product with the additional screw in the portfolio. The declared unit refers to 1 kg of aluminium profile. The packaging, based on 1 kg of aluminium profile, is also included in the calculation at 0.031 kg. The following table shows the data of the declared unit. | ||
