| We do window washing consulting.
We use various window cleaning equipments. A davit base usually refers
to a fixture that is welded or bolted to the pedestal’s top plate.
The differentiating nature of the base is that it contains holes drilled
horizontally through the base’s metal parts so as to permit the
davit to be pinned to the pedestal. Two parallel pins are needed to create
the required overturning resistance.
A pipe sleeve is a pedestal without a top plate.
Its attachment methods are identical. As a sleeve, the davit mast is inserted
directly into the pipe for vertical and overturning support. The pipe
sleeve method should only be used with two-piece davits when the arm can
be safely inserted thru the mast or safely attached after the mast unit
is secured in the sleeve. A rain cap is often supplied with the sleeve
to prevent water from collecting in the pip sleeve.
