When ordering a complete DAESSY Wheelchair mounting assembly the the size and shape of the wheelchair frame to which the mount will be attached must be measured and indicated on the order form. Wheelchair manufacturers vary tubing size and shapes within model lines and within model years, the name of the wheelchair is not sufficient information to determine what Frame Clamp Inner Pieces is required. If no size is indicated on the order a 1" round clamp with be included by default.
The Frame Clamp Inner Pieces are available to fit a wide range of wheelchair tubing styles – round, rectangular and elliptical. Standard Frame Clamp Inner Pieces may be used on wheelchair frames that have a clear length of 2" to 2 1/2" of straight frame tubing accessible. Wheelchair tubing with dimensions between the available Frame Clamp sizes may be shimmed with Adapter Sleeves. If only a shorter distance of wheelchair frame tubing is accessible, or the tubing is very slightly curved it may be possible to use a Side Mount Inner Piece. For wheelchairs that do not have any tubing accessible for a Frame Clamp to clamp around, a Bolt-on Adapter may be required. A small number of wheelchairs will require Model Specific Frame Clamps or Bolt-on Adapters.
The Frame Clamp Inner Pieces are manufactured to precise sizes. Frame Clamps must be installed on the tube size for which they are designed.
The Daessy Side-Mount Inner Piece is used when access to a round tube is limited; often used
when attaching to the seat frame of a wheelchair. The Front Side-Mount Inner Piece does not
require access to the inside of the wheelchair frame to access the installation bolts; all the
bolts are accessed from the 'front' side, facing out from the wheelchair frame. This kit includes adapter sleeves to go from 1" to 7/8".
