The Optima™ dyad operator is the compact member of the casement operator family, built for sashes between 15-1/2" [393 mm] and 24" [609 mm] wide. A short dyad covers 15" to 16" where the operator route can move toward the hinge side, and the same operator runs in a reverse configuration down to 13-1/2" [343 mm] — so no special reverse dyad is needed.

Like the rest of the line it is built on coastal grade stainless steel with a composite base, sealed by a unique O-ring that holds back four times more water than conventional operators. All dyad operators work with the same stainless sash brackets.
